Chrisette Michele “Mr. Right”
Chrisette Michele is giving us a Lauryn Hill/ Amy Winehouse-type of vibe on the addicting “Mr. Right”, a spirited meshing of doo wop and old school soul from her new Epiphany album that’s thankfully alleviating the withdrawals we’re currently suffering from having those two aforementioned singers be on in-between album hiatuses.
With a lovely brewing of big band bursts and girl group charm setting an effervescent tone, “Mr. Right” follows Michele’s tongue-wagging reaction to a man who’s slowly chipping away at her steely exterior and turning her into a giddy pile of schoolgirl mush. The girl that’s “never been ashamed or afraid to speak my mind” and is used to running the show when she’s with her girlfriends is now rendered speechless and weak-kneed at just a simple touch from the wonderful male specimen that’s entered her life, and the blissful rapture she’s under can be felt in her every sung note.
While we admit to having a muted admiration for Michele before, hearing “Epiphany” and now “Mr. Right” has definitely blown our appreciation for this 26-year-old diva-to-be to a much higher plateau.
Epiphany will be available May 5th.
