K. Michelle is “actively writing and recording her highly anticipated debut country album and finalizing its accompanying tour,” per a press statement.
Regarding her experience working with country music star ERNEST, K. Michelle said, “He’s amazingly gifted and though he’s writing on massive albums, he’s still humble. So I felt comfortable around him. He arrived at my house 30 minutes early before we were scheduled to work and after we did, we drank whiskey and ate the best soul food — he’s a former rapper making country music, so he was able to merge my R&B side with where I intend to head in country music.”
K.Michelle announced her new country music deal on social media, writing on X, “I just signed my FIRST country music record
Deal. It may not mean anything to you but it means everything to me.”
