♫ HOT OR NOT: MICHELLE WILLIAMS’ NEW SONG
Monday, March 31, 2008

♫ MICHELLE WILLIAMS - WE BREAK THE DAWN (LISTEN)
Michelle Williams debuts her new single from her third studio album, Unexpected. Although this will be Michelle’s third solo album (she has released the most solo albums out of her other former bandmates), it is Michelle’s first contemporary R&B release. She’s always been successful in the gospel world, but this time around, Michelle is testing her solo reign out in a different genre with a new look to boot.
“We Break the Dawn” is the new single, after a few leaked snippets from the album. Originally, fans thought that the first single would be the Ne-Yo written and Stargate-produced “Stop This Car.” But the official single is an up-tempo, feel-good track that I think is just right for Michelle’s introduction to the scene. So what do you think? Is it hot or is it not?
Visit Michelle on MySpace for more information on her new material and the upcoming album, Unexpected. And you know CL will keep you updated on the latest!

it’s a hot track, hopefully pop radio eats it up. I love how her music so far is very classy, I haven’t heard anything with overt sexual references or anything. She’s keeping it classy and fun. Go Chelle.

I’m actually surprised at Ms, Michelle! She did a great job with this track! I would’ve never expected Michelle to sound so good in the Pop/Dance genre but she does! If this is what we can expect from the rest of her album then I am definitely purchasing it!! GOOD JOB MICHELLE!!

I was a fan of her gospel albums and didn’t think she would stand out as an rnb singer, but this just might work for her. Love the new look also.

I really like this song. I hope that she will do well in her solo career. I believe that she is very smart, she is doing something that Kelly should have done. Michelle has completely changed her image and her style of music. That is something that Kelly should have done. Kelly should have changed her whole image and her sound and maybe people would have been interested in her music career.

It sounds more pop than R&B, but either way I like it. I think it’s something different than what most were expecting. I hope she does well.

I’m loving this song….It’s not about a man or is it about her trying to look all sexy..it’s about having fun and enjoying ya friends and life, partying and living the night away….That’s hot! Michelle look is elegant and i do feel bad for Kelly as well because these girls…(Beyonce, Michelle, and even Solange seems to be doing the damn thing for 08)…Way to Go Michelle!!

This is REALLY REALLY great.
Michelle needs to stick to this type of music, very creative and experimental!
If all her songs sound like this she wont put in the drawer of a typical RnB Star.
I think she can pull it off, go girl.

The song is okay but kinda reminds me of something you’d hear off the 1st Kelly Rowland album… or that lame arse re-release. It’s funny listening this after reading Estelle’s piece… some chick might come back saying that all these black girls are stealing pop music! It seems r&b is officially dead now everyone seems to be going pop… and everyone seems to be loving it!

I’m really feeling this track. It’s something that you don’t hear that often one radio these days. Honestly it won’t do as good as anything Beyonce puts out (just being honest) but hopefully the music video is fire!

I’m soo happy that Michelle is exploring new aspects of music. Its fun, fresh, and different.
I can see the chorus playing on a comercial for like American eagle or Old Navy. It has a nice global sound to it. I like it.
People like B.SCOTT SAYS. “STOP the HATE in 2008!!”
Cuz michelle is doin the damn things and you are boosting her Raitings!!! lol.. GO MICHELLE GO MICHELLE GO MICHELLE.. Im buyin the record

I love Michelle (she is a nut!!)! and I like this track. I’m looking forward to her project this year, as well as all the DC ladies and Solange.
Sidenote: Some of you people humor me. How can you say that this is what Kelly should have done (changed up her style of music, that way people would be more interested in her). Too bad that’s what she did (her last album, which was REALLY good by the way, despite the constant criticism, was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than her first effort, which was also overlooked. So, to say that Kelly didn’t try and switch it up is wrong on so many levels. Not only that, “Break the Dawn” is striking similar to the feel and message of Kelly’s “Daylight.” So at this point, I’m convinced that, for whatever reason, nothing Kelly does will be accepted by the people on this site. I just pray that she isn’t living for the approval and acceptance of the nay sayers that breed on this site.

so im feelin this track and the gagger is…i think…really think that michelle is gonna out sold kelly…sucks..but true….
…michelle being sort of the “underdogg” in DC3 had more to prove to fans…and i feel she wanted everyone to know that she can actually SING and hold her own…
…and not mess up on dance moves and fall on live television…
…kelly…kelly…kel-ly…….*sigh*…u betta RE-RE-RELEASE MS KELLY wit ALL NEW TRACKS…and a new sound……the music world is changin and u stayin in the same sound we been hearin all these years….”Like This” was tough…it was different….bring more sounds like that….
….everyone is comparin kelly wit michelle…shame shame shame……i dont wanna go to mexico…..

When she first came to the groups, people used to say that she looked like Aaliyah, until she lost all that weight. Glad to see she’s looking like her old self again. This track is hot! Definately gonna buy the album when it comes out.
