Chrisette Michele - I Am Review

I tend to steer clear of mainstream music because it carries little weight. An assembly line comes to mind when I think of all the r&b music that you look at VH1 and MTV because it's all the same old stuff. their are some good ones out  their but overall it gets to be very boring very fast.

Enter Chrisette Michele and the refreshing voice that she brings to the table showing that she learned from her influences well! I first heard of this young lady through two hooks she sang(one for Jay-Z and the other for Nas)and was very impressed with her clear sound and supple tone. She began to create allot of buzz and I began to get nervous. I thought "here we go" because my hopes were and the skeptic in me said the voice may be nice I bet her Cd will me a wasteland of same ol stuff......I was wrong.....again!

Her voice evokes the sounds of yesterday when ladies in r&b didn't have to scream or ad-lib their way through a song to make up for what they lack in real talent. Her you have a real singer with a real sound and band to back her up. Even when she is having for on the more upbeat number's on this Cd Michele still manages to sound grown up and driven by her gift of song. For a sample just listen to the way she sings Your Joy. This track shows just what a talent this young lady is and that she's here to stay....her way!
