New Song: Michelle Williams – ‘Fire’

Published: Monday 23rd Sep 2013 by Sam

After warming folk up with ‘If We See Your Eyes’, Michelle Williams turns up the heat with blazing new single ‘Fire’.

The Harmony Samuels produced cut is the second single to be lifted from the songbird’s upcoming Gospel comeback ‘Journey To Freedom’.

 Who said one can’t pop, lock, and drop for the Most High? Take a listen after the jump….

The track’s title is oh-so-apt! This is hot tamale.

Despite successful crossover efforts from the likes of Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin, the “inspirational” arena remains quite narrow and traditional. Hence, Ms Williams’ attempt to redefine what contemporary Gospel can be is both brave and commendable. Needless to say, we can see this burning up  Urban AC and Gospel radio.

    • BLUE IVY & NORTH WEST = LESBIAN LOVERS September 23, 2013

      I agree with you, sis…When was Kelly Rowland’s last hit (without a rap feature who ended up stealing the show like Lil’ Wayne and Eve)???

      • Super Cisus September 23, 2013

        Never! Nobody cares about Blue Ivys nanny

      • Chillin September 23, 2013

        First of all..Let’s get one thing clear…Ciara is finally getting mediocre attention with her song Body Party that will never surpass the success of Motivation..2..Ciara will NEVER be asked to mentor anyone for anything..other than how to do the matrix dance..THIRD..Ciara will never surpass the success of Kelly…no matter how you may try to twist or turn it..Kelly is worth twice as much as Ciara..and it will always be that way..FORTH..why are you pressed about Kelly..This is Michelle’s post…Leave it up to you to mention Kelly..you are obsessed with her

      • iconic cici September 23, 2013

        @Chillen You really need to stfu & stay in your place… Kelly is one of the biggest non factors im the industry, motivation was only a hit thanks to lil Wayne Ciara didnt need no one else besides herself on body party for it to slay , Kelly is nothing more but a talent show judge her music career is non exsistent she’ll never be on Beyonce Rihanna or Ciaras level know that funky f**.

      • Sarah September 23, 2013

        @iconic cici LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the audacity of you to even mention Ciara’s name next to Rihanna & Beyonce…girl have a seat…or better yet go and practice your Matrix moves in several seats…That’s one thing Ciara is good at…hahahaha…laughing stock of the century….When Body party goes 2 times platinum…i’ll respond…have a good day sweetie

      • iconic cici September 23, 2013

        @Sarah mind your business d*** before you get dragged.

      • Sarah September 23, 2013

      • Jamie September 23, 2013

        Are yall mad because body party slayed kisses down low effortlessly?

      • Super Cisus September 23, 2013

        You f*** and dikes are so pressed. Body Party has been slaying the BB charts since April. Charts Down Low and Floppy Laundry aint do s*** and that is why you pressed. Outside of DC Kelly Basicbitchland is irrelevant and U b****** are going to have to deal!!!

      • Chillin September 23, 2013

        Body Party is slaying the charts but was nominated for Best Dance moves among her peers..LMAO ..stick to what she does best…how sad..Lets see if it picks up a Grammy Nomination..or even wins a Billboard Award…then you can brag about it ..or even a Platinum certification…took it long enough to go Gold..nonetheless congrats ..at least it didnt flop like Basic Instinct in its entirety

      • Super Cisus September 23, 2013

        Or it didn’t flop like all of Kelly Hoelands albums ALL of them!!! Kii

      • Cici Slaaaaaays September 23, 2013

        How many SOLO platinum albums does Kelly have again? Yall like bringing up destiny child numbers but were not talking about Kelly selling off Beyonces face and name.

      • MuiMui September 23, 2013

    • Sarah September 23, 2013

      @Jamie who’s mad? Look at the first person who wrote this un-necessary comment…Why even mention Kelly Rowland..and be the FIRST comment at that..i think that person is mad at Kelly for some strange reason…

    • Emmi3 September 23, 2013

      why why would you try to create hate btween 2 sisters..are you so ugly in and out ? checkyourselfoutpls

  2. Stephy Tha Lambily September 23, 2013

    Damn! I can’t really appreciate this song cause I just got finished listening to Aretha Franklin’s “Amazing Grace” & “How I Got Over”. & once you finish listening to Aretha everything else from this generation sounds like trash. I’m sure its a good song for these days standards tho.

    • S****** Blonde September 23, 2013

      The best version of ‘Amazing Grace’ was done by Judy Collins, no one else comes close.

      • ABC September 23, 2013

        Oh really? That’s cute. The QUEEN OF SOULS rendition>

  3. Rihboy September 23, 2013

    Really good song…..moreover nothing about it is gospel…..literally.

    • One on one fun September 23, 2013

      • SongWriter September 23, 2013

        LMBO!!!!! Took the words RIIIGHT out my mouth!!! @ Other than the Jesus and biblical references!

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) September 23, 2013

      It’s called CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) and this is what the Christian youth wanna hear. I had a friend who grew up not able to listen to mainstream music, so artist like Mary Mary, Out of Eden, Winans Phase 2 etc. were what they wanted to hear cause it was christ based but relevant to our generation. Christian music has a variety of sub genres just like mainstream.

  4. Lil Mo Stan and trey burkes husband (Kendricks d*** game wasnt on point) September 23, 2013

    This cover looks suspiciously like alicia key’s “girl on fire”cover. I guess thievery runs in the family…all shade, ask tea.

  5. BEYHIVE September 23, 2013

    YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

    I CAN SEE WHY SHE WAS SOOOOO READY FOR THE WORLD TO HEAR THIS SONG!!

  19. TRUTHKILLA September 23, 2013

    Ciara stans are soooo desperate to make here happen, but body party faded months ago and so did ciara. Time to keep it moving yall, aint nobody checking for ciara !!!!
    I dont even understand how and why cquad (lol) is so pressed with Kelly, yall look silly and petty. Why are you trying to pit Ciara against a real artist ( some that can sing live),honestly they are not even in the same arena. Ciara vs Cassie is the only sensible competetion, they on the same level. Thats why the navy had to drag cici and let her know her place.

  20. ABC September 23, 2013

    Only on tgj would a michelle post turn into a Ciara vs Kelly stan war smh lol.

  21. TRUTHKILLA September 23, 2013

    somebody said ciara can sing (lol) i wanna see a video of cici singing a mariah cover or a whitney or any song for that matter….lolllll yall funny

    • yooooooooo (keristan) September 23, 2013

    Her voice isn’t very easy on the ears….

    • HOWYOULIKEIT September 23, 2013

      it depends on the sound. Listen to unexpected album. she was very hot on the uptempos. And she always slays her ballads. But it is true that this song is a little bit weird

  26. JER September 23, 2013

    All I hear is Rihanna except the vocals are on point so I know it aint Rih. Everybody wants that flavour. Rihanna ha influence.

  27. RG2 September 23, 2013

    I love her voice, and I look forward to her album.

    TO THOSE WHO FEEL THIS ISN’T GOSPEL:

    • Jonathan Gardner September 23, 2013

      YESS FOR OUT OF EDEN!! I GREW UP ON THEM LORD KNOWS!! They are SO UNDERRATED!

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) September 24, 2013

        I did too! Out of Eden was a secret GEM in the industry period!

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) September 24, 2013

        You’re right, I was meaning Out of Eden though, they were like a cross mix between CCM and urban gospel depending on the track. They definitely have their pop hits like River, Tomorrow and Love, Peace & Happiness

  29. WOW! September 23, 2013

    YES! THIS SONG IS FIRE!
    GO MICHELLE!

  31. caveman diet meal plan August 19, 2014

    I get asked a lot about the difference amongst the different types of diets, especially the difference between your paleo diet and the primal or caveman diet. There’s really a great deal of mixed information out there found on the internet. The Caveman Diet and The Paleolithic Age.
    The caveman lifestyle, inside Mr. Durant’s interpretation, involves eating large quantities of meat and then fasting between meals to approximate the lean occasions that his distant ancestors faced between hunts. Vegetables plus fruit are fine, however he avoids foods like bread which were unavailable before the innovation of agriculture. Mr. Durant believes the human body evolved for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and his goal is to wean himself off what he sees because numerous millenniums of bad habits.
    There are certain risks with any diet. It is often difficult to receive enough of certain vitamins plus minerals whenever eating a limited variety of foods. All varieties of the caveman diet exclude all milk and dairy products. Because these foods are great sources of calcium it’s possible which people found on the caveman diet could not receive enough calcium inside their diet. Lack of calcium will lead to different condition plus conditions such as osteoporosis plus rickets. Anyone beginning this diet can wish To consult their doctor regarding whether taking a vitamin or supplement might enable them lower this risk. Additionally such a low starchy carbohydrate consumption may result wellness problems including lethargy and fatigue due to low stamina.
    The reality of eating as numerous fresh foods as this program needs hits house on your initial trip to the grocery shop. Don’t let this discourage you though, because there excellent resources plus tricks available to aid you plan out your food plus protect money. What is the Paleo Diet? The Caveman Bakery is committed to providing we with unique, tasty, plus excellent quality Paleolithic baked treats. If a product arrives to you damaged or inside less than the highest quality, please contact us and we will promptly ship out a substitution. The Paleolithic fat reduction diet consists of eating the types of unprocessed low carbohydrate food our ancestors ate. Because the ancestors evolved eating them, they are all-natural for you to consume. Paleo Diet Is Half Baked Scientific American
    Many diets could work when bodily activity is put into the blend. Along with eating more lean meats and avoiding highly processed carb-packed foods including potato chips and fast food, we can spend more time outdoors. Why not have several fun with the caveman concept and go on a wild blueberry choosing excursion, choose wild leeks inside the spring, go for hikes and invest time camping under the stars. It’s been proven which diets function whenever it involves a change inside lifestyle. Maybe learning much more about the caveman may change our technique of thinking.
    An indelible component of Paleo is eating meat. It’s valued highly for its protein, fats, plus imperative vitamins. But not all meat is the same. Folks found on the Paleo diet spot considerable emphasis on eating grass fed natural meats because opposed to grain fed stock raised in factory farms. It’s been shown which grain fed beef contributes to a skewed omega 3 to 6 ratio and which it impairs the ability to absorb nutrients. Factory farms moreover infuse their livestock with hormones and other questionable chemical concoctions. Paleo dieters are increasingly turning away from these foods, preferring instead to eat “clean” meat.caveman diet
