She’s back!
After a lengthy hiatus from the music scene to focus on headline-grabbing acting endeavors, singer-actress Vanessa Williams puts on her dancing shoes to boogie back onto the charts with her first album in 15 years.
“What a joy it is to be making new music behind the [mic] again with old friends,” the 61-year-old said about her new album due later this year. “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.”
Set to be distributed by her own label, Mellian Music, the independent project’s first single comes courtesy of the electric ‘Legs (Keep Dancing).’
“They say the legs are the last to go/ I’ma keep dancing / I’m still putting on the show / I’ma keep dancing until I can’t do it no more,” she wails in the Chantry Johnson and Kipper Jones-penned bop.
A subtle tribute to ‘The Legs Are The Last To Go,’ the 2008 memoir of legendary stage and screen actress Diahann Carroll, get inside to get down with V.
