Just when you were wondering what happened to Sunshine Anderson, the “Heard It All Before” vocalist recently struck a deal with Matthew Knowles and his Music World Entertainment company (which he recently purchased back from financially unstable Sanctuary) and is set to drop Sunshine at Midnight, on her imprint, Shining Star Incorporated.

The sophomore set, expected in January 2007, is produced in part by Dr. Dre and Raphael Saadiq and features lead single “Something I Wanna Give You.”

“It’s been a long time so we just want everyone to focus on Sunshine again,” the singer told Billboard.com. “My vocals are raw and honest and pure, with a lot of emotion. So vocally not much has changed, but I’ve grown as a businesswoman. I’m more involved in this project and I was a little more inspired this time.”
