Michelle Williams is Michigan Avenue’s latest cover girl. Fellow singer Deborah Cox interviewed Michelle and the two chatted about Michelle’s upcoming album Journey To Freedom.
“People identify when your music comes from the heart and speaks truth,” she says of the personal nature of this project – her fourth as a solo artist. “There was a time last year when I didn’t know if I could record and finish one song, and it took me a while to really be comfortable and allow other people to help me with my thoughts. We had some incredible writers who were able to help me with my own situation, and it really helped deliver me out of some of those dark moments.”
She revealed that being in a group with Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé has had an impact on her solo career.
“Being in the group that long—with even Bey and Kelly, being in the group that long for them—just rubs off on you,” she explained. “The friendships continue to inspire, but the genres are so different now. I can’t wait for them to hear [my new album], so I can be like “Okay, what do y’all think?” They’re like, “Girl, do this or do that.” But we really try to keep the solo stuff separate.”
