LET FREEDOM REIGN is the long-awaited follow-up to Epiphany, which debuted at #1 Soundscan following its release in May 2009. The album built on the success of its Top 10 Adult R&B title tune hit "Epiphany (I'm Leaving)," also written by Ne-Yo and produced by Chuck Harmony. Chrisette was also chosen to open one of the highest profile tours of 2009, as she joined fellow neo-soul artist Maxwell in July for his BLACKsummers'night comeback tour.

Grammy Award-winning Def Jam recording artist Chrisette Michele has won the heart and soul of AOL Radio, which added her brand new single, "I'm A Star" to the net's much-traveled AOL Radio New R&B First station. Written by fellow Def Jam artist Ne-Yo and produced by Chuck Harmony, "I'm A Star" is the first single pick from Chrisette's highly-anticipated third album, LET FREEDOM REIGN. Chuck Harmony and Chrisette complete the bulk of the album with songs of triumph over love loss and freedom to love again.

"Clattering percussion and high, metronomic piano set the stage for Michele's rich, jazz-trained vocals to shine on this inspirational mid-tempo song," declares AOL Radio, "and she takes full advantage with a warm, histrionic-free performance." The rave continues: "It should be noted that she's not brazenly declaring herself a star like Prince did on his similarly-titled song back in 1983, but instead stepping away from a bad relationship and re-affirming her own worth."

2009 sophomore release from the Grammy Award-winning R&B vocalist. Two years after releasing her debut album I Am, which was nominated for a BET Award as well as two Grammy awards, Chrisette Michele is at it again. This time she is changing things up from the first album with a more edgy, youthful and urban feel. Collaborating with Compound Entertainment which includes Claude Kelly, Chuck Harmony and singer/songwriter NeYo they have infused her Jazz vocal style with more of a Pop feel leaning to a full integration of Hip Hop Soul. Features 'Epiphany (I'm Leaving)', 'Notebook', 'Blame It On Me' and many more.

I Am, her soulful debut album, is an artistic exploration that fuses 24-year old Chrisette Michele's diverse musical interests into a wonderland. "I realize that I'm new to the music world, but I've been preparing for this moment for long time," says the Long Island native. Even before signing a recording contract, Michele had performed on concert bills with more established artists like Kem, India.Arie, Angie Stone, and Lionel Richie. "India saw me singing at the Village Underground in New York City. She came backstage that first night and graciously offered me a gig as her opening act," says Michele. Working hard in the studio writing songs and recording demos, Michele finished an album's worth of material before even trying to get signed. "I've been creating songs since I was 12, so I knew I needed the right musical blend in order to stand out from the many other performers trying to get a deal." Though already a fan of gospel and classical, it wasn't until Michele was 17 that she also developed a passion for jazz. "When I was still in high school a teacher introduced me to jazz singer Astrud Gilberto, and afterwards my life was all about jazz," she remembers. With the release of I Am, Chrisette Michele will soon be sharing those musical dreams with the rest of the world.
