Gather round boys and girls the story of relationships, life, love and happiness has been put to music for your listening pleasure.  Has she been here before?  Does she live in my head?  She can’t be just 24, how cute.  Songstress Chrisette Michele Payne uses her writing talent and lyrical prowess to provide an innocent approach to love and relationships, while at the same time invoking sentimental feelings for each song.  In no other song out today has the temptation of post broke-up been captured so clearly then in the jazz standard influenced “Best of Me.”  Preceded by the cute bashfulness of a young girl crushing on a little drummer boy in “Like a Dream.”  Chrisette is not ashamed to make the pain of wanting someone seem so beautiful, while at the same time conveying the hardship in staying together in “Work It Out.”  “Love Is You” fills you up and dances you around with soft vocal display on top the piano keys on your wedding day.  The production and vast variety from track to track illustrates that this Island Def Jam recording artist Chrisette Michelle debut album I AM has positioned her ahead of the game.  After listening to the following tracks, I have no doubt this “Good Girl” will “Be Ok.”

Rock On, Rock Out!
