In contrast to her debut album, I Am, which featured a heavy “vintage-jazz” influence, Chrisette Michele‘s sophomore album, Epiphany, has a “hip-hop soul” sound that Booth-heads simply ADORE.  That stylistic shift is especially evident on the singer’s new semi-single, the official remix to Fragile.  Here, Chrisette rejoins forces with a much-buzzed-about past collaborator (on The RootsRising Up) who hails from one of her favorite places to visit (greater Washington, D.C.).  That’s right, we have Wale on the intro verse; hoping to get away from some baby-mama drama of his own, he’s offering to be Chrissy’s “Mr. Fix-It”.  In addition to boosting sales for Epiphany (out now), this cut is sure to stir up buzz for the September 22nd release of Wale’s debut album, Attention: Deficit.  Watch for the track’s forthcoming Internet video to premiere soon!

Pretty solid, but her worst single from "Epiphany". Wale is not that good on here.

I liked this. I thought Wale really kicked it off nicely and Chrisette really sounded nice on this production. I never heard the original but I thought this was tight.

I can't remember ever hearing the word insecurity in any rap song ever. Wale's verse was groundbreaking. I like Chrisette's voice on most tracks, this one however, is not my fav. I'd play it though.

I was wondering, why did you refer to this as a "semi-single"?

I LOVE Chrisette Michele, her voice is amazing! But I guess there are better choices on the album as single.

Wale laced a tight verse on this and Michelle brings an enjoyable vocal performance as ever ... Rotation.

Chrisette Michele is my old Candace Parker. (Imaginary Boo)

I agree with you guys about the Wale feature. Good verse, just didn't fit the beat that well. But still a good track. I'll Love her no matter what =]

Chrisette Michele has a wonderful voice. The melody is so good, finally something different! I also like how Wale sounds, I don't think he sounds bad in here

Very well put together song. I don't see it being played on the rap station though, definitely a pop single right there. It's good though
