Chrisette Michele - Epiphany
Artist: Chrisette Michele
Producer: Chuck Harmony
Album: Untitled
Label: Motown Records
Conventional wisdom indicates that a recording artist who releases an inspired debut effort is doomed to lose that creative spark on the follow-up, falling victim to the dreaded “sophomore slump.” The thing about conventional wisdom, though, is that it’s very often wrong. Gold-certified R&B songstress Chrisette Michele, for example, couldn’t feel more confident about the progress of her second album; according to a MySpace blog post, the LP’s taken “no time to record,” and she’s on such a creative high that she’s dreaming new songs. Thus, the title of her Ne-Yo and Claude Kelly-penned lead single couldn’t be more appropriate. Epiphany brings fans more of the jazz-influenced vocal stylings they’ve come to know and love, but the uniquely spacey touches Chuck Harmony contributes on the production tip are what really give this record hit potential. Here’s hoping the rest of Michele’s yet-untitled second album, due out this spring, delivers on the promise of this crowd-pleasingly catchy cut.
This song first appeared on the

very smooth... and she has a pretty good voice... the track was ruined for me, though, when the hook began... Not interesting or catchy enough to keep my attention for long

While all of our fringe members comment about "the greatest rapper alive" trying to rock out, Ima focus on some amazing R&B talent... Ms. Michele is back!
With Ne-Yo behind the scenes doing his writing thing, this has a great chance to work at radio. Urban AC will eat this up. Hopefully this time around she receives a good label push (cough, cough).

I ain't heard anything new from my boo-boo Chrisette in a good minute. This is a flame joint from him. I really dig the production and the vocal mix and everything. I can't wait for the full project, especially since Ne-Yo will be behind the boards.

The production on this is amazing! Her voice sounds really natural compared to other R&B singers out there! The piano melody and beat blend well in this song. This is a good chill slow song!

Going by what I read, Ne-Yo writes some magic tracks! seriously! The man is such a talent! and as for Chrisette, she sounds good on this...but she doesn't quite do enough for me. I loved her on the couple of Nas tracks she was on on Hip Hop Is Dead. She's good, but this doesn't quite do enough for me.

I this right here is hot, here vocals are on point and shes a very talented artist as it is...and her sound compliments the production very well. I knew it would be a banger when I saw that it was penned by Ne-yo

One of the most powerful voices I've ever heard - Chrisette Michelle is a force to be reckoned with in the female, solo vocal artist category.
So now listening - I'm so surprised at this track. It does little to get me in a groove. She sounds almost ameture on this. The production is cool - It's just Ok. |

Ok. I'm going to listen to it again. I try to rate based on what I hear in the music and not by what I read in the threads. Everyone is feeling this - maybe I mised something.....
Ok, I really didn't listen to the content of the song. I'm all about empowering women to get on w/ thier lives after a no good man tries her for the final straw. I can add this to my "It's Over" mix (and yes... I have one for real, including songz like "Crazy Feelings" - Missy & Beyonce - "Walk Away" - Christina Aguillera & Alicia Keyes "What Goes Around Comes Around" - Justin Timberlake and about 20 more) this would fit right in with that. I could have given her 3/5 stars, but it didn't pull me in w/ the music that can make or break a hit. |

I love how the production started of similar to Good Morning By Kanye. That made my ears Perk up. Production was on point. CM's vocals kinda reminded me of something Teena Marie would do on this one. Strong single.

I heard this track for the first time to day on 103.5 the beat. This is classy and jazzy and just the perfect break up tune for the female who finally gets it! Way to go Chris! Soft, mellow, lady like and to the point!

I really question how some people rate songs.. How is song possibly 2 stars. Just saw her do this song live in NYC defjam showcase.. Awesome talent. I think NE-Yo wrote this joint also. Track on turntables would be a nice follow up to Robin Thicke's -Lost without u.. reminds me of it.
