Disco de Michelle Williams: “Heart to Yours”
 Descripción (en inglés) :
Personnel includes: Michelle Williams, Destiny's Child, Shirley Caesar, Mary Mary, Men Of Standard, Carl Thomas.
<p>Producers include: Erron Williams, Beyonce Knowles, Mario Winans, HR Crump, Bubba Smith.
<p>Engineers include: Peter Thyssen, Cedric Courtois, Rich Balmer.
<p>Personnel: Michelle Williams (vocals).
<p>Despite Beyonce Knowles's Diana Ross-like stature in Destiny's Child, newer member Michelle Williams beat Ms. Knowles to the punch when it came time to spin out a solo project following the announcement of the group's self-imposed break. Drawing from her musical roots growing up in the church, Williams's solo bow HEART TO YOURS is a gospel record with the kind of contemporary R&B/crossover trimmings normally associated with the likes of Yolanda Adams (whose name is mentioned by Williams in her lengthy list of thanks.)
<p>Blessed with a light and sprightly vocal presence, the Rockford, Illinois native easily shifts gears whether she's going from a lush, piano-driven intro to a funkier, new-jack edge within "Rock With Me" or soaring throughout the bubbly, Janet Jackson-flavored "Sun Will Shine Again." Williams does equally well holding her own against a slew of special guests including Mary Mary (a thumping "So Glad") and Men Of Standard's Isaac Carree and Lowell Pye (the inspirational "You Care For Me"). Other highlights include the roof-raising Shirley Caesar duet "Steal Away To Jesus," the a cappella Destiny's Child reunion "Gospel Medley" and a simmering Carl Thomas team-up on BeBe and CeCe Winan's "Heaven."

- An Instrument of the Lord's Praise!
Michelle Williams was born to sing Gospel music! She not only sings from her heart unto the Lord as in the title "Heart To Yours", but she also tries to live the life. Take one read of Destiny's Child autobiography book "Soul Survivors", and you'll see that she has morals most people dream about. I loved this album. I found a sincerity that cannot be faked. The title song "Heart To Yours" flows effortlessly and expresses her love for the Lord. "Heard A Word" ministers while "So Glad" brings that Mary Mary flava to the mix and wil make you glad you heard it. "Sun Will Shine Again" is a joyful song that lets you know no matter how it may rain that the sun will shine again, because Joy comes in the morning! "Better Place" is dedicated to 9.11, and brings about the peace that comes with trusting God! "Change The World" will fill anyone with purpose and self-esteem, you'll realize that you can change the world and not to let the world change you! "Everything" bounces along while "You Care For Me" featuring Men of Standard is a slow ballad that'll get you in the mood to start praising the Lord! "Steal Away To Jesus" is the album's gem simply because it features Pastor Shirley Caesar. Michelle more than holds her own and it's a tribute to a powerful Spiritual classic that once gave African-Americans when in bondage as slaves peace and perseverance knowing that they didn't have long to stay bound, because a better place waited for the them through Jesus! "Rock With Me" shows another side of Michelle where she rocks with the best of them. It's starts off slow and takes it to another level with Jesus Christ being the Rock of Salvation! If you liked Natalie Wilson & S.O.P. Chorale's "The Rock", you'll love this! "Gospel Medley" featuring Destiny's Child is the only track I truly liked on D.C.'s album, and it has found its true home on this album. The bonus track "Heaven" brings me back to the days when BeBe and CeCe ruled gospel and I must say Michelle and Carl Thomas does them justice!
This album is a great addition to any music collection and an album you can listen to from beginning to end with listening pleasure. God worked through Michelle Williams and she truly is an instrument of His praise on this album! This "Church Girl" can truly sing her heart unto the Lord! God is Love!

1.HEART TO YOURS- THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ON THE CD. IT IS HER PERSONAL CONVERSATION WITH THE LORD. VERY UP-BEAT AND A GREAT WAY TO START THE ALBUM.
2.HEARD A WORD- THIS IS THE 1ST SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM AND JUST LETS US KNOW THAT ALL WE NEED IS A WORD FROM AND IF WE ABIDE BY THAT WORD WE WE CANNOT GO WRONG.

- Too Beautiful for Pop Charts
As recently Tenitra Michelle William's album "Heart to Yours" going directly to No1 at the Gospel charts for a few weeks I decided to check out her album. The hit Gospel single "Heard A Word" is definatly my favorite. If you're expecting the over-produced, booty-singing material from Destiny's Child of yesteryear then don't look here, for there's none. Rather "Heart to Yours" is full of beautiful, inspirational and uplifting songs. In light of the recent 9/11 anniversary you'll find comfort in her tribute to those events on the peaceful "Better Place (9/11)" or the inspirational "Sun Will Shine Again." Other highlights include a shining duet with fellow Gospel mates Mary Mary (no quite contrary pun intended) called "So Glad." I found "Rock with Me" a little boring and cheezy, but I do like how she threw in "Gospel Medly" from the "Survivor" album-definatly an approvement from the for a laugh "version" of "Amazing Grace" from "Writings on the Wall." Their harmonies are near perfect. With a great bunch of beautiful, inspirational songs I really reccomend this CD to families of the victims of 9/11 as well as people who are just trying to get over it or having trouble in life. I give "Heart To Yours" an A+ rating. PS: No Michelle is not leaving Destiny's Child. They are all doing their own thing for a while and will get back together soon.

- An excellet release
I'm brazilian and I've always followed the success of DC and I give a special focus on Michelle and Kelly. Michelle with her soft voice, her simple and special style are items that for me are more important than the extravagance of Beyoncè. This Cd is full of God inspiration and gifts, I love it and the second album too...Go Michelle!
