Chrisette Michele
“Just when the world seemed overrun by sound-alike R&B divas who all decorate their verses with the same melismatic curlicues and who all deliver their choruses with the same lung-busting, roof-rattling power, along comes a baby diva who sounds like no one else. Chrisette Michele, 24, doesn’t have to over-embellish or over-wail on her debut album, “I Am,” because the Long Islander can seduce a listener with the casual silkiness of her voice and then catch that listener off guard by slipping into a nasal drawl at the right dramatic moment.”

“She sings in a jazz style reminiscent of past singers such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.”
