New York native Chrisette Michele is a “soulful songbird” as described by Entertainment Weekly, who has been shining on the R&B music scene since 2007. She released her debut album, I Am to critical lauder, including her first Grammy for “Be OK” featuring will.i.am. Her sophomore album, Epiphany fortified her success by debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. It highlighted her “fiery vocal performance” as she backs up every word with strong emotion. Her latest album, Let Freedom Reign is driven by Michele’s self-confidence and charged with a “blissful marriage of fiery spirit and artful musicality.” Throughout the album, her “timelessly sleek voice” has room to shine over crisp, understated backdrops. Michele’s “meaty voice” powerfully stimulates her albums as “her voice has real pain in it, with a cry at the back of the throat that lends complexity to even the happiest love songs,” according to the NY Daily News.
