All roads lead to March 25th for K. Michelle.

The R&B maven will, on said, date unleash her quirkly titled third album ‘More Issues Than Vogue.’

Today she shares another page from the project in the form of new number ‘Mindful.’

Having sung and even yodelled on previous cuts, the reality star turned credible act showcases her rap skills on the track.

We’re serious, she spits bars for the length and breadth of the song. Of her flow, Michelle told fans upon debuting the cut:

“Nothing new! I got my record deal rapping!”
