Jet Magazine: Michelle Williams Gears Up for New Album

A few months ago, Michelle Williams was gearing up for the release of her fourth studio project, Journey to Freedom, initially due in February. But she had an inkling that something wasn’t quite right.

“We just were not ready, and I kind of already knew,” she admits.

Her hunch was correct, and the album was pushed back.

But Williams didn’t just need more time to work on her music, she needed more time to work on herself, too.

“I think I was at my low point in every way imaginable,” she reveals. “As far as the pressure was concerned, I was going through that and the battle of wanting to do an album. I didn’t want to have to go through the talking about it and the criticism.”

The songstress wanted to get away, and that’s exactly what she did.
