I’VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU… CHRISETTE MICHELE


Chrisette Michelle is an American R&B soul singer and song writer, signed to the Def Jam label group. Whilst she’s already won a Grammy for Best Urban/alternative Performance in 2009 for her song entitled “Be Ok”, I’m blogging about her today for her current single “Epiphany” (I’m leaving) – which I’m loving right about now. Her sultry, soft voice can be likened to old school songstress Ella Fitzgerlad or to current day talent such as Jill Scott or Erykah Badu. Whichever talent you choose to put her against, she has enough of the singing gene (actually buckets of it), to be considered a damn brilliant and serious artist in her own right.

Her sophomore album which carries the same name as her current single, is out in the states now (released May 5th), it actually hit No. 1 selling 83,000 copies in the first week, however it’s now holding the no. 2 spot. Regardless whether its dropped down 1 spot, as soon as it’s out here – I’m downloading it from iTunes…

For those who are yet to see this lady in action, I’ve included a clip below which shows part of the video for Epiphany as well as an interview with her and Ne-Yo, who co wrote the track with Chuck Harmony.





If you’ve viewed the above video and think you recognise her, you probably remember it from when she featured in Nas’s track ‘Can’t Forget About You’… see video below.
