Michelle is currently in the studio working on a new album and I didn't see a thread so I decided to start one here are the producers she's rumored to have worked with so far. *The Producers* Erron Williams (her brother who produced "Love" on the destiny fulfilled album.) Mario Winans Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis Jazze Pha *The Writers* Juanita Wynn. (co-wrote "Free" and "If" on Destiny Fulfilled) Michelle herself.

Former Destiny's Child singer and gospel artist Michelle Williams knows some fans will always see her as "the church girl." But she wants them to know that she has another side—a seedier side that she plans to express in her first solo R&B album this spring. "I've been dogged, I've been dumped, I've done the dumping, I've done the cheating," Williams told RedEye. Shocked Laughing The album doesn't have a title or a first single yet, but in addition to showing off her inner bad girl, the Rockford native wants to recapture the raw R&B "that's missing right now." "Those topics of love and relationships, triumphs and failures," she says. "All of this 1-2 microwave pop, that's cool for right now, but that's not going to sustain you in life." redeye.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/custom/redhot/red-100606-redhot,0,4603874.story

photo by steed media service R&B, Gospel Recording Artist For years, Michelle Williams has been “The Quiet One” of Destiny’s Child. Sandwiched between the sheer star power of Beyoncé and the girl-next-door appeal of Kelly Rowland; Williams always seemed to be the more enigmatic of the three. But since the former members have embarked on solo ventures, Williams has taken the most unique approach. Her first solo release was a gospel album, to the surprise of some, and she’s back in the studio ready to start 2007. “My new album is coming out,” Williams shared. “It’s a first — my first solo R&B project.” The leap from gospel to R&B isn’t unprecedented, Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye all made the same leap. Every now and then, the door even swings in the opposite direction, as with the Rev. Al Green and Aaron Neville. Williams, a devout Christian, didn’t have much difficulty making the transition from gospel to secular music. “It really wasn’t that much of a change,” she says. “It was a decision that I made, something new that I was trying to do.” Now, well-versed on both sides, Williams won’t have any trouble maintaining a viable voice in either genre. And her relationship with Beyoncé and Kelly is as strong as ever, despite the group’s now-defunct status. Williams, ever-supportive of her sisters-in-arms, was especially excited for former band mate Beyoncé’s recent film success in the smash, Dreamgirls. “I couldn’t wait to see what everyone was talking about,” she says of when she first got word of the film. “I’m very excited for her!” –randy scotsman www.rollingout.com/studio/spotlight/index.php?title=michelle_williams_killing_them_softly&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

LMAO@ "1-2 microwave pop" LOL.
I love the lists of producers for her. Never knew her brother produced "Love". One of my favorites. I have a feeling her album will sound like "Destiny Fullfilled" Part 2. That doesn't bother me at all because it had some really good R&B track on it. "If" sounds so classic to me.

She is basically wishing her fans a happy new year, and some artist wont even do that. Now that is sad. But I kind of understand you, because I hate when Christina Milian post those pointly ass blogs. Atleast she tries though.

"OMG guys I'm in Miami for the 5,000th time this week! I love it here!" She's there for a week goes home for a day and goes back, but still feels like telling us she is back in Miami.

I'm out here in Miami working on music. It' going veeeery well. "
