B+Details Release Date: Oct 07, 2008; Lead Performance: Michelle Williams (Musician); Genre: Pop

of Kylie Minogue) and made-for-radio cuts like the leadoff single, ''We Break the
Dawn.'' Although the album's effervescent club feel tapers off near the end, when the
songs grow formulaic, the album's charm could still give Michelle Williams a shot at the charts. B+
