Exactly five years ago, Chrisette Michele came into our lives with one of the most authentic sounds and soul-stirring voices that had been missing from R&B. I remember listening to I Am and wondering where she had been. From the masses of NYC, she appeared giving us a true sound, full of life.
As time continued, we were blessed with Epiphany and Let Freedom Reign. Listening, you feel the authenticity of real music. I’ve been a fan from the beginning and now my admiration for Chrisette has progressed and just what I felt is no mistake.
It’s true. Chrisette Michele is real. We’ve finally been introduced to an artist who has learned to rise above conforming to the masses of what everyone else is doing. She’s found her own epiphany and working on being “Better”.
Frances: Since being natural, how have your standards of beauty changed?
Chrisette: They haven’t. The same things are still beautiful.
Frances: What is your beauty and skincare regimen and what are your favorite products?
Chrisette: SkinCeuticals Face Wash and Serum. La Mer Moisturizing Lotion.
Frances: With “Let Freedom Reign” you gave us the message of living and making decisions through freedom within your heart and in love. What’s the next message that we’ll here from you?
Chrisette: “Let Freedom Reign” was from a broken place. Making it out of the system and embracing the culture. I wanted to stray from the box. On this next album, I aim to make the best R&B album (laughing). I’ve never said that before… The next album is “Better”. The first single hits in June and the album in the Fall. I’m now on Motown Records.
Frances: 10-15 years from now, what message will you want us to be know about Chrisette?
Chrisette: That I was telling my personal story. I don’t understand the concept of haters. There’s plenty of love to go around.
I interviewed Chrisette during the World Hair Party Affair Kickoff of the World Natural Hair Show at Primal in Atlanta, GA.
