Heed Magazine: ‘Journey to Freedom’ Exclusive with Michelle Williams

From the record-breaking R&B/pop group Destiny’s Child to the top of the gospel charts, singer, songwriter, record producer and actress Michelle Williams is an international sensation, with eleven #1 singles, more than 50 million records sold worldwide and over 150 awards including three Grammys. In 2002, Williams released her first solo album, the award-winning #1 gospel album Heart to Yours, which featured collaboration with the legendary Shirley Caesar, hit #3 on the Top Contemporary Christian Albums chart and became the year’s top-selling gospel album. She followed in 2004 with her critically-acclaimed second gospel album Do You Know, and in 2008 released her third solo album, the hit R&B/pop album Unexpected.

After several successful endeavors in theater and music, Michelle Williams is gearing up to release her 4th album Journey to Freedom in the early part of next year. Today she released the music video for the 1st single off the upcoming album, “If We Had your Eyes”! Produced by Harmony Samuels, “If We Had Your Eyes” has quickly grabbed attention from Williams’ sneak preview, as her powerful vocals and the driving mid-tempo rhythm inspire listeners to examine their faith and God’s perspective with the lyrics, If we had your eyes, we’d see things right/ If we could just see from your point of view, then most things won’t be as they seem.
