K. Michelle - How Many Times
Artist: K. Michelle
Producer: Blac Elvis
Album: Pain Medicine
Label: Atlantic Records
How many times does DJBooth have to tell you that K. Michelle is one of the strongest young voices in the industry before the world takes notice? On her new potential single the Memphis bred singer is asking the exact same question. Ok, maybe not the exact same question. Instead of scolding those who have slept on her talent Michelle is asking how many heartbreaks have to mount before she finally dumps that no-good man, but the sentiment’s the same. Providing backing for her powerhouse vocals are producer Blac Elvis, who crafts an old-school influenced beat whose piano lines remind me of a Young Jeezy song I can’t quite place (anyone?) and Sean Garrett, who once again lends his hit-making pen to the songwriting. But fittingly this is Michelle’s show from beginning to end, and in classic R&B style she not only hits all the right notes, but lets her emotion bleed through the mix as well. Will this finally be the song that gets her long-awaited album Pain Medicine a solid release date? Only time, and the comments below, will tell.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart
on February 28, 2011

Strong voice, indeed. Most times a strong beat gets wasted by poor vocals, but not the case here. I thought her voice was perfectly matched with that addictive Blac Elvis production. This could be a summertime smash for the ladies.

K. Michelle has R. Kelly in her corner, which means sooner or later she is going to "break." Its really hard to understand why radio MDs have been so slow to take to her promo singles. As an artist, her voice has that "it" factor. Like several others releases over the past few years, like the would-be hit "I Just Can't Do This," I think "How Many Times" has maximum potential...

Nathan, I was trying to figure out what Jeezy song you were referring and the only thing I could think of was 'My President' but idk.
Great song - She'll be in the fame in no time. |

Michelle simply continues to impress. This sounds a bit like a Keyshia Cole record to me, but not in the style copying sense, more in the soulful r&b meets pop sense. Someone really needs to get behind her, Michelle's a hell of a talent.

Impressive vocal skills K. Michelle. I think the only issue with her is that she is not unique, so nothing separates her from the other Divas the biz.

Maybe I'm a hater, but if 2 stars means OK, then that's what this is. The production is a little repetitive and annoying, and although she has vocal skills, I don't love the tone of her voice. Maybe i"ll feel the next one more....

@Neil_Shae_2411, so vocal tone is enough to knock it down to a 2?
Personally, I LOVE this combination! She's gonna make it BIG-this will finally be "that hit" |

You here the same kinds of songs every single time but her voice has that special it factor. She hits those big notes so easily and comfortably. Also, she can let her emotions flow into the song smoothly which I really liked. With fresher production this would have been easily 5 stars for me.
