After garnering critical acclaim with her last studio album ‘Unexpected’, Destiny’s Child graduate Michelle Williams is back in the lab working on its follow-up.

In these exclusive new shots, the vocal powerhouse is seen laying down verses in a Los Angeles studio with friend and vocal arranger Lonny Bereal. The pair have been hard at work on the as yet untitled LP (due Spring 2013), which is described as boasting an R&B inspirational sound.

Having thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Williams last effort, as well as her previous Gospel releases, we’re oh so amped for this. Are you?

So, in what marks a strange twist in this tragic story, ‘Ray Of Light‘ icon Madonna has ‘honored’ Malala with a strip tease carried out during Wednesday’s showing of her ‘MDNA Tour’ in LA.

An act, which has now been billed as distasteful.

Hath he no shame?
