Michelle's upcoming release of her first-ever country album Jesus & Whiskey, due out on October 16, is her seventh studio album. Jesus & Whiskey, produced by Kristian Bush, marks the first full-length exploration of K. Michelle’s deep-seated Country roots. With its hypnotic fusion of timeless storytelling and Southern soul, the nine-song project fearlessly explores faith, heartbreak, redemption, and love lost and found. Set for release via Real Outlawz Records, Inc. under exclusive license to This Is Hit, Inc. d/b/a BBR Music Group, Jesus & Whiskey fully realizes the uncompromising artistic vision she’s steadily shaped since making her Country debut last summer with the fierce and fiery “Jack Daniel’s.” A stunning display of K. Michelle’s vocal prowess, “Jesus & Whiskey” signals another triumphant step in her evolution as a one-of-a-kind Country artist. In a departure from the scorching intensity of “Jack Daniel’s,” the guitar-drenched ballad channels a soulful vulnerability as she argues that faith isn’t reserved for people who’ve overcome every vice. Written by K. Michelle, ERNEST (a PLATINUM-selling singer/songwriter who’s also penned songs for the likes of Keith Urban and Koe Wetzel), Jordan Dozzi (Morgan Wallen, Post Malone), and Rocky Block (Jelly Roll, Cole Swindell), the result is a full-hearted refusal to let shame get in the way of her relationship with God. A multi-hyphenate creative force who grew up on classic country — and who earned a music scholarship to Florida A&M University thanks in part to her extraordinary yodeling talents — K. Michelle made her full-length debut with the GOLD-certified, chart-topping Rebellious Soul in 2013 and soon emerged as an R&B icon. After building an acclaimed catalog that includes five consecutive Billboard-charting LPs, the former “Love and Hip-Hop” star decided to return to her musical foundation, bringing her breathtaking vocals and autobiographical storytelling to a boldly singular form of country. With Jesus & Whiskey, K. Michelle continues to forge a path all her own while joining the trailblazing wave of Black artists redefining country music. Tracklist for Jesus & Whiskey by K. Michelle 1. “Intro” (K. Michelle) 2. “Yodel” (K. Michelle, Tomy Gé, Kelly Sheehan, David “Messy” Mescon, Thomas Edwards) 3. “Blame Tennessee” (K.

  • Don't miss Orlando Ballet's Uncorked - A behind-the-scenes look at how ballet comes to life

    This exclusive event offers an up-close look at the creative process, with Orlando Ballet dancers and artistic leadership at Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre. What began as an informal evening in a bar or lounge has evolved into one of Orlando Ballet’s most unique ways to experience dance. In the early days of Uncorked, Orlando Ballet’s artistic team and dancers stepped outside the traditional theater setting to experiment, explore movement, and create. A director would bring a piece of music, gather a few dancers, and build a small work right in front of the audience. There were no elaborate sets or productions—just music, movement, and the freedom to try something new. With a drink in hand, audiences were quite literally experiencing ballet Uncorked. Today, Uncorked has grown into an engaging and educational exploration of the art and craft of ballet, while preserving the relaxed, curious spirit of its origins. Led by Artistic Director Jorden Morris, each evening offers an inside look at the creative process as Company Dancers and Artistic Leadership develop and refine choreography. The experience concludes with a Q&A, giving you the opportunity to connect with the artists, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of what goes into creating a dance. Step outside the traditional theater experience and Uncork your understanding of ballet Held limited times each year at Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre, Uncorked provides a rare opportunity to witness the artistry and collaboration that happens before the curtain rises. The latest Uncorked takes place on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 7 pm, wtih future events already planned for January 22, 2027, and March 12, 2027. Orlando has a thriving arts scene, and is home to Orlando Ballet, Opera Orlando, Orlando Philharmonic, Breakthrough Theatre Company, Osceola Arts, Orlando Sings, and more. Keep up to date with the latest theater and performing arts news from Orlando. Uncorked takes place at Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre, 600 N Lake Formosa Dr. Orlando, FL 32803, and is a unique and intimate performance series that offers a behind-the-scenes look at how ballet comes to life. Unlike a traditional ballet show, this experience brings you close to the creative process — allowing you to watch and engage with Company Dancers and a member of artistic leadership while they choreograph and shape a new work, step by step in real time. Tickets Tickets for the next Uncorked on Friday, September 25, 2026 are available from $35. Alongside traditional seating, guests may choose from a variety of special seating options. VIP Table Seating – Reserved table seating for up to four guests in a prime viewing location, plus a complimentary bottle of specially selected red, white or sparkling wine for the table.
