Vanessa Williams is back with her first studio album in 15 years.
The US star has launched her own record label, Mellian Music, to launch the project, which is spearheaded by the single Legs (Keep Dancing), out April 26.
“What a joy it is to be making new music behind the mike again with old friends,” Williams says. “There’s a certain comfort in creating new works in the studio while reminiscing about how so many years in this business have brought successes, excitement, and lasting memories.
“Always moving forward is what drives me. Every challenge is exciting. And more new music to share with my fans is the fuel that lights my fire.”
Cat Kreidich, President, ADA Worldwide – Warner Music Group’s independent label and artist services arm, which has partnered with Vanessa on the project – adds: “A true multi-hyphenate and savvy businesswoman, there’s not much Vanessa can’t do.
“We’re looking forward to supporting this exciting next chapter of her career, connecting her with fans who are eagerly awaiting her return to music, and introducing a whole new generation to the magic that is Vanessa Williams.”
Fusing her experiences in pop, R&B, Latin, jazz and dance, the LP serves as a reintroduction to Williams – who released her last album, ‘The Real Thing’, in 2009.
