In The Studio with Michelle Williams and Robin Thicke
Posted on April 8, 2008 5:26 PM
Since DJ Mars blessed us with a blog all the way from Japan yesterday, I decided to hold off on posting this one. Now it’s time to play catch up. Last week, I had the opportunity to hear new music from both Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child and Robin Thicke.
Let’s start off with Michelle first. On Thursday the folks at Columbia/Music World held an intimate gathering for her at the legendary Electric Lady Studios. They treated members of the press to appetizers, wine and a first listen to Michelle’s new album. Matthew Knowles and Michelle actually went around the room and shaking hands and thanking everyone for coming. Michelle was super excited about the new album. She danced along to most of the tracks and kept talking about how much fun she had recording.
Since her days in Destiny’s Child, Michelle has released two solo gospel albums but now she’s back on the secular side of things with a new album titled, Unexpected. I would say Unexpected is about half pop/dance tracks and half R&B style tracks that you would expect from a member of DC.
It sounds good though and it’s just different enough to have major crossover appeal. It's scheduled to drop in August.
Don't think i've seen her dance since like 2004 with Lose My Breath / Soldier (can't recall if "Girl" or "Cater 2 U" had hot dance moves or not)
I wish I knew her 
Can't wait!
