Vanessa Williams - Legs (Keep Dancing) [Official Music Video]  First Listen: Vanessa Williams launches label with new single#VanessaWilliams, the legendary star of stage, screen, and the music scene, is dancing into the next phase of her dazzling career with a series of professional high kicks. She’s formed her own recording label, Mellian Music, set up her first publishing entities,  and signed a joint venture agreement  with Mod Squad, LLC, which is distributed by GoDigiPath, LLC, in association with  ADA Worldwide,  Warner Music Group’s independent label and artist services arm. Steven C. Beer,  who’s worked with Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, has come on board as Williams’ strategic lawyer/management consultant.“What a joy it is to be making new music behind the mike again with old friends,”  Williams adds. “There’s a certain comfort in creating new works in the studio while reminiscing about how so many years in this business have brought successes, excitement, and lasting memories. Always moving forward is what drives me. Every challenge is exciting. And more new music to share with my fans is the fuel that lights my fire.”Williams is putting the final touches on her first non-seasonal album  in 15 years. It releases later this year. The project was executive produced by Mellian Music, Mod Squad, LLC, and Christopher Todd Hall. “This is an album that surrounds Vanessa’s vocal gifts and performances with stellar acoustic and electronic performances by real musicians, real writers, real producers; a real music album,” says Mod Squad CEO, Tony Prendatt. “This album is for all genres. It  will touch on all of Vanessa’s experiences in the Pop, R&B, Latin, Jazz, and Dance genres. Vanessa is re-introducing herself by her design; we’re all committed and excited to be a part of it.”The first single, “Legs (Keep Dancing),” was co-written by Disney songwriter/producer Chantry Johnson; songwriter Kjersti Long; and songwriter/producer Kipper Jones who co-penned Williams’ early classics, “The Comfort Zone” and “The Right Stuff.”  Music isn’t the only thing on Williams’ mind. She’s currently in rehearsals to star as the fictional fashion queen Miranda Priestlyin London, England’s West End stage production of The Devil Wears Prada. There are preview performances at the Theatre Royal Plymouth July 6- August 21st. The official opening takes place on October 24th at the city’s Dominion Theatre.  The musical features an original score by  Sir Elton John and lyrics by Shania Taub. The book is by Kate Wetherhead. It’s directed and choreographed by 3-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray, Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde, Pretty Woman).In the past, Williams has served as executive producer for various projects such as the telefilm, The Courage to Love, and her own televised Christmas specials.  She’s continuing that enterprising practice as part of the producer team for  A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical, a play about the life of the iconic jazz trumpeter known as Satchmo, that will make its Broadway debut this fall at the Roundabout Theatre’s Studio 54 in New York City. The production will star James Monroe Inglehart who is best-known for his Tony Award winning role as Genie in the original Broadway production of Aladdin.“You can call it a comeback, a full circle moment, or just plain serendipity,” says songwriter Kipper Jones who’s history with Williams dates to her The Right Stuff album debut in 1988. “But I call it a blessing to be creating more history with the iconic force of nature that is Vanessa Williams. If past is indeed prologue, we’re about to give ‘em hell again!”

Serendipity lore?

YESSSS okay here are just like. some of my ideas with her, mostly to distinguish her from Regular Seren whose lore is not like this at all (I talk abt her on main and stuff <3)

Puerto Rican, grew up in the countryside. Probably a sugarcane farmer? Makes pitorro ("moonshine rum", yknow how Sniper makes moonshine). So all the jibaro stuff ties in! I did also just want a recognizably culturally Puerto Rican design tho AHGKLAHGA

Tf2 fans like accents? English as a second language. This is notable only to me bc regular Seren has a New Yorker accent but sniper!Seren gets a Puerto Rican one

I wrote a little one-shot once that went into some Borinquenium lore stuff (Australium equivalent lol), it skewed veeery magical realism-ish and I might clean it up and post it IF people like her! Similarly, it makes you really buff or whatever, and as she is demonstrably Not That, her parallels to regular Sniper are pretty clear

There are no crocodiles or alligators in Puerto Rico, but we DO have invasive iguanas. Although iguanas don't actually get that big and aren't at all aggressive, I think it'd be fun if the wacky element totally roided them up so Seren could still fight and eat them

I DOUBT any of my followers have read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (read it it's good, one of my top three magical realism recs), but in that book, there are a couple scenes where characters almost die in canefields (they're Dominican) and see a vision of a mongoose that talks to them. Thinking of a similar thing where Seren's post-death vision isn't of her parents but is of an iguana that talks to her in a canefield

I make her preeeeetty similar to regular Sniper tf2 in personality, while still retaining some original Seren stuff. Sniper but a little bit more fun. Sniper if he were in a permanent state of being your drunk uncle

I'll probably come up with more stuff! I have stuff like how she interacts with a bunch of characters I haven't posted yet too :)

[aprofessionalwithoutstandards]

Hey gamers after hyping this shit up for so long I finally sat down and drew her. My jibara Sniper tf2sona bc yknow what tf2 is lacking? Puerto Rico

She is NOT a tf2 oc she is a character I already have that I put in a tf2 outfit bc I am insane. Follow my art/oc blog @biracy-draws 

[Image ID: A drawing of my character Serendipity Johnson, a skinny Hispanic woman in her thirties with long, curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. She is wearing an altered version of Sniper’s default outfit, a red button-down shirt with rolled up sleeves, a dark brown bulletproof vest, a dark brown belt, grayish pants, brown boots with short heels, a fingerless glove on her left hand, a watch on her left wrist, round sunglasses with yellow lenses, and a pava, a hat made of straw. She is smoking a cigarette with her left hand and holding a machete in her right. Text to the right reads “Serendipity Julia Johnson Miranda”; under that are the Puerto Rican and bisexual flags. Under the flags are “31 years old, she/him (she preferred)”, and a bulleted list that reads “Jibara, selective mute, calls everyone “kid” or “mijo”, so fucking weird ngl”. End ID]
