Chrisette Michelle is back with her 5th<\/sup> studio album Milestone<\/em> which is the first album released from her independent label Rich Hipster. The album title celebrates Chrisette being in the music industry 10 years and it mostly centers around the singer\u2019s relationship with her former music manager Doug Ellis, who has recently become her fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The couple met over 13 years ago while in business school. The two started working together which led to a romantic relationship, but shortly after their union the relationship turned hostile ending with both of them suing each other over money issues related to music production. The legal situation led to them not speaking to each other for over seven years.<\/p>\n

When Chrisette started working on content for \u201cMilestone\u201d she reached back out to Ellis which led to their reconciliation and recent engagement. But here\u2019s the shocker, Chrisette was in another relationship during her and Ellis’ reconciliation.\u00a0 The album intimately details the couple\u2019s reconciliation and even explains how Chrisette broke the engagement news to the man she was in a relationship with at the time.<\/p>\n

My favorite song\u2019s on the album are: Diamond Letter, Steady, Soulmate, Equal, These Stones, and Meant To Be.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the song \u201cSteady\u201d Chrisette claps back at haters who downplay her success letting them know she has been in the industry for over 10 years and that she has the paper to prove her success. She also reveals that she is running her own label now.\u00a0 In the song she sings:<\/p>\n

You say I’m underrated,<\/em><\/strong>
\nDon’t know why I got this paper
\nDon’t know why I’m so hated
\nI think I’m must’ve made it<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think I’m must’ve made it<\/em><\/strong>
\nTen years and counting
\nShawty running label<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After Chrisette became engaged to Ellis she had to take on the difficult task of explaining to the guy she was in a relationship with that she couldn\u2019t be with him anymore because she was in love with someone else.\u00a0 Chrisette actually wrote her partner a letter delivering the news that she was engaged to someone else. This led to the single \u201cDiamond Ring\u201d. In the song Chrisette sings,<\/p>\n

Yeah I’m writing you a letter
\nWith the diamond on my finger
\nNo, you never did me bad
\nSomeone else can do me better<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>In the song \u201cSoulmate\u201d Chrisette sings about the separation between she and her fianc\u00e9 and how after reconciling she can\u2019t be apart from him anymore.<\/p>\n

My heart ain’t whole<\/strong><\/em>
\n Just me without my soul<\/strong><\/em>
\n My being needs you<\/strong><\/em>
\n I’m just part of what makes one of two<\/strong><\/em>
\n I’m just one shy without my right side<\/strong><\/em>
\n Lose my backbone without my right side<\/strong><\/em>
\n I’m just one half without my soul<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"CM<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

On the song \u201cEqual\u201d Chrisette reconnects with Rick Ross and delivers what seems to be an Aston Martin sequel.\u00a0 Rick Ross raps, <\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve<\/em> been in love with you for six years\u00a0<\/em>
\nSince Aston Martin Music
\nDrizzy came behind you on that smooth shit
\nSo iconic with the wordplay
\nIt’s ironic I’m in first place\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the song, \u201cMeant To Be\u201d Chrisette sings about the feeling of falling in love.<\/p>\n

Baby I don’t know how we fall in love<\/strong><\/em>
\n Now, I don’t usually do this<\/strong><\/em>
\n Baby I don’t know how we fall in love<\/strong><\/em>
\n Now, I ain’t used to the feeling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>In the song, \u201cThese Stones\u201d, Chrisette responds to the critics who have something to say about her new relationship. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Haters watching me, wanna catch me slip<\/strong><\/em>
\n Yeah, I’m back with my old new<\/em><\/strong>
\n Yeah, your ‘Gram comments be rude<\/em><\/strong>
\n I still get more likes than you<\/em><\/strong>
\nYeah, I live my life<\/em><\/strong>
\n I live it like it was my last one<\/em><\/strong>
\n Yeah, we getting down with<\/em><\/strong>
\n Any suckers, tryna catch<\/em><\/strong>
\n These stones, can I live my life?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall I enjoyed the album. On Milestone<\/em> expect Chrisette\u2019s usual sultry vocals mixed with a little hip hop flare and soft R&B.<\/p>\n

Some fans don\u2019t like Chrisette\u2019s new sound on the album and feel like she is trying too hard to become mainstream. I disagree, I really like the new sound. I believe as an artist you have to evolve to a certain extent in order to stay current in the industry, and I believe Chrisette did a great job with evolving while also staying true to her sound and who she is as an artist.<\/p>\n
