K. Michelle Will Drop First Single from Debut Album on Monday

K. Michelle might bring the humor to VH1’s hit show “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta,” however, she still considers music to be her priority. Now that the reality star has a record deal with Warner Bros., she plans to make her presence known in R&B music. In fact, the singer plans to bring the same rawness she lives by on the show into her new music, and she credits R. Kelly for mentoring her and teaching her how important it is to sing about real life. In a recent interview with OK! Magazine, when talking about her new music, she says:

“I sing about everything that i go through in life. My mentor is Mr. R. Kelly. He always told me to write life and not music and you’ll always have a job.

“The men in the business, they can try to be very dominant. But what I can say for me, I play a lot of roles and I put on a lot of faces. I really don’t let the men in the business conduct my business, so they might say I’m crazy, they might say I’m a b*tch…but I really work. And I get it done.

“The key to success I feel is you can’t just be a pretty face because they’ll go find another pretty face. You have to know what’s going on now. I keep up with my budget, what’s being spent on my studio time. I know how much producers are charging for tracks. I know how much my videos cost me, my website. I know everything. I know my content that’s going on, I approve everything. I do everything with my music and my other companies.”

With her new album reportedly dropping this summer, the singer took to her Twitter account to confirm that she will be dropping its first single on Monday. She tweets:
