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.

THE LAST WORD… NAS AND KELIS EXPECTING THEIR FIRST CHILD

Nas confirmed during an MTV interview with Shaheem Reid, that he and Kelis are expecting their first child. The rapper apparently revealed the couple are to find out the baby’s sex next week.

On 15 January, reports claimed the hip hop couple were starting a family, however now it’s been confirmed. Nas, who already has a child from a previous relationship, was reported to say “I’m so happy… I got another one coming in 09!”
I wish the couple all the best with their new addition… can’t wait to see Kelis’s maternity outfits for the remaining months of her pregnancy. I’m sure she will be looking as ‘hot’ as she normally does.
