♫ 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!

Beyonce stans are as desperate as beyonce she leak a song the day kelly’s digital album is released and they try to sabotage the post with michelle’s new songs you are so great that you feel the need to compete with everybody

This Chick Singing Live Is The Truth In T. C. P She Made You Shut Up And Listen, The Crowd Was Shook. I Knew She Was Going To Be On Point With The Album. Um Yeah Kelly Lost My Respect After She Tried To Fat Mouth Blogs And Call Them Haters Because Her Work Sucked And She Couldnot Find Herself. Ps Im Anticipating Great Things For B The Album And The Movie

I’m lovin this. She was always limited to singin one verse on DC tracks, or the bridge if she was lucky. I always thought it was smart for her to switch to gospel instead of trying to compete with Beyonce on the R&B tip when the group initially parted ways. Now I can’t help but wonder if she’ll do better than Kelly. Wouldn’t that be embarassin’….

I really like this song. It has a nice beat and there is joy in her voice so it gives the impression she is having fun. I am pleasantly surprised. Good job Michelle.

SMH @ HATERS SAYING MICHELLE WILL FLOP CAUSE KELLY DID. UMMMMM FIRST OFF, MICHELLE HAS A LIFE OUTSIDE THE KNOWLES FAMILY AND CAN STAND ON HER ON. KELLY INSISTS ON CLINGING TO MATTHEW’S NUTS AND BECAUSE OF THAT, SHE WON’T GET FAR.
MICHELLE IS GONNA SURPRISE EVERYONEEE AND I CAN’T WAIT. HOPEFULLY KELLY WILL STEP OUT BEYONCE’S ASS FOR A MINUTE AND TAKE NOTES.

Like everyone else, I am definitely digging Michelle’s style. Her face looks fuller, she must have gained weight- Lord knows she needed to. Having a fine man in her life must have helped too. I tried to listen to the track, but the music drowned her out. Must be my computer’s speakers. Anyway, I am looking forward to somone else from Destiny’s Child to shine. I’m tired of hearing/seeing Bey and anything else she’s attempting to do. We all know she’s talented- but she aint hardly the only one - GIVE US A BREAK! (Throw your Roc signs up on that one!) I have no comment for Kelly- I think she eats BUTT for a living (Ha - Ha- Ha). Hope much success for Michelle and looking forward to her CD.

Some of these ppl dont think, “Kelly should have better producers” She had Sean Garrett who also worked on B-Day for Beyonce. Polow Da Don aint no sloucg either. Beyonce pays for her own projects with her endorsements and outside ventures *Dereon and Perfume*. Kelly Depends on the label and thats what kills her financially. Times are tough in the industry and her budget aint as big as it use to be with DC. And if Michelle dont invest some of her DC & Broadway money into her album, I afraid that she too will not go Gold. And I’m sure that Brian and alot folks will sorta agree on that.

Ok, yeah she definitely upgraded on both spectrums as far as looks and musical talent and abilities go. She looks great, I’m glad she cut that long hair, gained a couple pounds, and got rid of those tired red highlites she used to have lol. She always looked so much older than Kelly and Beyonce. But here she’s looking new and fresh faced (something that she really needs in order to break into the R&B realm). Cuz I’m sick of Keyshia Cole LOL.
Her song is nice. I didn’t expect it to be because I always thought she was wack in destiny’s child. But that could’ve been because they gave her the worst verses of the song. But her voice sounds a lot stronger and I’m diggin the background vocals. This single truly is unexpected.

Neo didnt write stop this Car. The songwriter Makeba, who wrote Deja Vu and Upgrade You for the Beyonce Bday album wrote it. I like Break The Dawn too…

If this was Mandy Moore, or Jessica Simpson, or maybe even Jordin Sparks, I may be inclined to say HOT, but since it’s Michelle Williams, i’m very sorry, but I got to say NOT. It has too much of a bubble-gum pop sound for Michelle.

waouh,
i am very surprised. Only very few hateful comments.
People are still trying to compare everybody to Beyonce. We get it, she is number one and doing the damn thing but does that means that nobody else cannot be successful? I mean, look at the forbes list of singers, you have beyonce and Mariah but all the others are white! They are just trying to do their thing for god sake. I understand that you have a star but don’t you feel like it is time to open your mind and try top listen to different people. We all know beyonce is not going to realease an album now, so you stans should not feel bad about liking someone esle lol, it is not cheating?? is it??

its really great she found her own. she won’t fall under beyonces shadow cause it’s so different. she deserves this, because the way the industry works in groups sometime artist like beyonce, are pushed out there so much, which leave the other artist at bay.
i think the timing is great, love the single. you rock michelle. your warm heart will grab an awesome fan base, especially with this new look of yours……totally MTV material. its not rhianna but more euro pop, which is fun and the youngins, and me will listen to it.
keep riding your own light girl, its yours and you got something special here.

“There is a petition online for Michelle Williams album to come out sooner on youtube. The most effective way would be to go to her page (michellewilliamstv) and send her a message stating that you would like for her album to come out sooner; most people are sayin a June or July release. Go and support Michelle. Thanks.”
