| Song |
"We Break the Dawn" is a pop/dance/R&B song recorded by American singer-songwritter Michelle Williams, the first single from her forthcoming album Unexpected. The song was written by Andrew Frampton, Michelle Williams and Solange Knowles, and produced by Wayne Wilkins and Andrew Frampton.[1] It was released on the People.com website on March 31, 2008.[2] Its arrangement is built over simple synth-heavy and an understated back beat, and its lyrics chronicle a woman's feelings on a dance club.
"We Break the Dawn" is the first mainstream pop music single from Williams, moving away from her previous Gospel-oriented style. "Stop This Car", originally slated to be the lead-off single,[citation needed] was pushed back to be released as second single.[3]
Music and structure
"We Break the Dawn" is pop/dance music with R&B-influenced vocals.
Reception
In describing the forthcoming album, Hillary Crosley writes, "there's a clear move away from the gospel".[3] When the song premiered on People.com, Brian Orloff posted, "It's a hot new look and new sound".[2]
