Product Description: If you didn't get to know Chrisette Michele by way of Jay-Z (she was the one singing sparkling hooks on "Lost Ones") or Nas (she channeled Billie Holiday on "Can't Forget About You"), stop wasting valuable seconds. Though the hype on this pure-voiced, raunch-resistant songstress has her resuscitating a classic jazz sound that rarely infiltrates R&B--comparisons to Lady Day, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald are mounting--she's more her generation's answer to Erykah Badu: any notes she wraps her lips around come out fresh-sounding, and she adds to the effect with a built-in elegance that's irresistible to R&B and non-R&B fans alike. Hip-hoppers get a custom dose of Michele's magic on "Be O.K.," featuring the flabbergastingly prolific yet still likable Will.i.am, jazz sentimentalists will instantly succumb to "Like a Dream," and anybody with ears on his or her head will warm to the slinky slow jam that is "If I Have My Way." Michele's is a rare talent; count on this outstanding debut propelling her to stratospheric heights. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews
Talented Chick!
Chrisette's CD is like getting 5 or 6 in one. She handles the jazzy/blues vibe, slight folk influence, the straight R&B, and the hip-hoppish raw soul flavors beautifully. She has such range and various tones to her voice where it sounds like someone else is singing on each track! A couple are a bit to sappy for me, but overall it's a solid start. Very nice freshman CD, and I'll be on the lookout for her next release!

I slept on her but I am now awake, fully
This CD is WONDERFUL! I have listened to it for two months straight. Its addictive. This woman can sing and her lyrics are impeccable. Im tired of listening to the CD but cant seem to take it out of the player. Every time I attempt I feel as though something's missing from the day. I can't wait till her next CD comes out. Buy it. If you KNOW music then you will know this woman has potential to raise the bar. Vocally the Ashanti's and Beyonce's of the have NOTHING on this chic. This instantly became one of the best debut CD's IMO in a LOOOONNNGGG time. Treat yourself dont cheat yourself. Buy this CD!

Pure Joy
This is one of the most joyful cds I have heard in a long time. Even when she is singing sad songs she can't help inserting joy into her songs. Another album that is not about the bump and grind. More young women should sing like this. This album has some very diverse elements in it and she has a lovely way of singing each song just right.

The REAL thing.
Chrisette Michele is...a revelation.
Her voice is NAHSTY - the power, the texture, the styling, the phrasing...
AND she is versatile; she can be oh so graceful on one cut, then swagger on the next, and DELIVER on both.
AND she can tickle the ivories and compose.
Listening to radio these days has a way of discouraging the discriminating music/ soul lover. But then a Erykah Badu/Jill Scott/Bilal/Ledisi/(a few others), and now, Chrisette Michele comes along to help us keep the faith...
God Bless her.
