█ Chrisette Michele says she had a realization about relationships that lead
█ her to name her upcoming sophomore album "Epiphany." The set, which comes on
█ the heels of her Grammy win, is due on March 31 via Def Jam. The first
█ single, the Ne-Yo-penned title track, enters at No. 78 on the R&B/Hip-Hop
█ songs chart this week, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
█
█ "I heard the song that Ne-Yo had written titled 'Epiphany,' and the word just
█ stood out to me," Michele tells Billboard.com. "It stood out to me because
█ I'd been through a lot in my last relationship, and the word 'epiphany'
█ exemplified exactly what happened in the end when I realized I didn't have to
█ put myself through it anymore."
█
█ Michele refers to the relationship with her former manager, Douglas "Biggs"
█ Ellison, who Michele sued for embezzlement and harassment last year. Ellison
█ later countersued for breach of exclusive management agreement. The lawsuit
█ is currently still in motion.
█
█ Still, Michele is optimistic and says this album is a reflection of that. To
█ create what she describes as a more upbeat/youthful sound she tapped on the
█ likes of Chuck Harmony, Claude Kelly, B Major and Ne-Yo, who writes and
█ co-executive produced the set. The album features no guest collaborations.
█
█ And while a second single hasn't been selected yet, Michele does say one of
█ her favorite tracks is the piano-based "Blame It On Me," in which she croons,
█ "Blame it on me / say it's my fault / say I left you out in the cold with a
█ broken heart / I really don't care / I'm not lying no more / say I'm a
█ cheater, a liar, whatever you want / as long as it's over."
█
█ Another stand-out track is "On My Own," which the self-proclaimed daddy's
█ girl says reminds her of her father. "I'm very close to my dad, but recently
█ I've learned how to handle situations on my own, without having him step in
█ for me, and it took a lot of me to be able to do that," she admits.
█
█ Other songs set to appear on "Epiphany" include "I'm Ok," the hip-hop-tinged
█ "Another One," the ballad "Notebook," plus tracks "What You Do," "Playing
█ Our Song," and "Fragile."
█
█ Michele's debut release, "I Am," has sold 419,000 copies in the United
█ States, according to Nielsen Soundscan. "Be OK," the album's third single,
█ won the 2009 Grammy award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.
