Vanessa Williams busy with 'Betty,' new album

Vanessa Williams sambas back into music as she releases The Real Thing on June 2.

By Steve Jones, USA TODAY
Vanessa Williams takes a break from playing Wilhelmina Slater on ABC's Ugly Betty and gets back to making music. She releases The Real Thing, on Concord Records, June 2.
Her first album in four years has touches of jazz, samba, salsa, pop and R&B.

"I had been wanting to do a Latin-flavored album since I played a ballroom dancer in the (salsa) movie Dance With Me," Williams says.

She called on old friends, including Keith Thomas, who did such hits as Save the Best for Last and Colors of the Wind, and Rob Mathes, who worked on Williams' Christmas albums. She also sings Babyface songs Loving You and Just Friends.

She says Ugly Betty's schedule will keep her from touring extensively, though she plans to introduce new music at shows in Atlantic City in May.

"I won't be going city to city," she says. "I've got a regular gig on TV, and I'm happy to have a job."
