Michelle Williams is back with her fourth solo album “Journey To Freedom.”
Michelle Williams addressed questions over her latest gospel single “Say Yes” being played in bars and gay clubs this week.
The hit song, which features Williams’ former Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Beyonce Knowles, includes the chorus: “When Jesus say yes nobody can say no.” Consequently, Williams addressed questions about the gospel song playing in nightclubs and gay bars while on the Power 105.1 radio show “The Breakfast Club” this week.
“I get all [kinds of] messages saying, ‘Girl, they just played ‘Say Yes’ in the club,’ and ‘GAY PRIDE,'” the singer explained. “Gay clubs, every club has been playing ‘Say Yes,’ and I’m not mad at that. We get to hear Jesus’ name throughout the whole world through a song – I’m not mad.”
Williams went on to defend the sound of “Say Yes” as well as the message in her brand new album, “Journey to Freedom,” against critics who suggest her music is secular.
“What is Gospel music is supposed to sound like? Does it have to have an organ?” the 34-year-old artist mused. “I made the mistake on my first album. I was told, ‘It’s gotta sound gospel.’ But these kids don’t wanna hear that. I think the message is gospel, not necessarily the sound. And on ‘Say Yes,’ the chorus is actually a Nigerian song.”
