I Am

From: $5.95

I Am, her soulful debut album, is an artistic exploration that fuses 24-year old Chrisette Michele's diverse musical interests into a wonderland. "I realize that I'm new to the music world, but I've been preparing for this moment for long time," says the Long Island native. Even before signing a recording contract, Michele had performed on concert bills with more established artists like Kem, India.Arie, Angie Stone, and Lionel Richie. "India saw me singing at the Village Underground in New York City. She came backstage that first night and graciously offered me a gig as her opening act," says Michele. Working hard in the studio writing songs and recording demos, Michele finished an album's worth of material before even trying to get signed. "I've been creating songs since I was 12, so I knew I needed the right musical blend in order to stand out from the many other performers trying to get a deal." Though already a fan of gospel and classical, it wasn't until Michele was 17 that she also developed a passion for jazz. "When I was still in high school a teacher introduced me to jazz singer Astrud Gilberto, and afterwards my life was all about jazz," she remembers. With the release of I Am, Chrisette Michele will soon be sharing those musical dreams with the rest of the world.

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 22, 2008 Type: User Review 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...

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...

I initially heard this artist on Jay-Z's "Lost One" track. I thought he sampled an older artist. I did a little search and came across a video of Chrisette in a live performance. WOW! I purchased the CD instantly. This is a very nice CD, one of...
