MUSIC: Epiphany by Chrisette Michele
Savvy songstress Christie Michele first hit the scene in 2007.After collaborating with hiphop leaders Jay-Z and Nas, Chrisette put out her first album, I Am, capturing fans with her jazz-influenced sounds and sultry vocals.With her sophomore album, Epiphany, produced by Ne-Yo, Michelle delivers an album about relationships and heartbreak in a voice full of vibrancy, edge and youth.
The album starts off with her hit-single "Epiphany," a sassy,up-tempo song about leaving her cheating boyfriend. She slows it down in "Notebook," as she croons about a crush that she can't find the nerves to approach, and instead "Writes in my notebook/X's and O's beside your name."
Chrisette gives a strong performance in soulful ballad "Blame it On Me," delivering a pitch-perfect performance while telling an exlover to blame her for the failed relationship. She picks up the tempo in songs "Playing Our Song," in which she sings about that one special song between lovers, and "Another One," in which she croons about a boyfriend acting funny, singing "Friends come around/you don't act the same."
The smooth, sultry voice is stunning as she sings to her ideal man in "Mr. Right," and again in "On My Own" and "Fragile." In "Porcelain Doll," fans get a refresher of the jazzy, yet sassy, sound that first brought the songstress
into the spotlight, while she sings "I'm a full grown woman/I am not your porcelain doll." She ends the album in the piano-laced ballad "I'm Okay."
Chrisette Michele delivers everything one hopes from an up-and-coming, here-to-stay artist. With her pitch-perfect vocals, catchy lyrics and tempos, Epiphany makes a hot album that anyone would love.
