K. Michelle
More Issues Than Vogue
Album · R&B/Soul · 2016
K. Michelle’s reputation as one of R&B’s straightest talkers is borne out by her third album, where her powerful singing and fleet rapping make her jaw-droppingly honest lyrics land even harder. “Nightstand” is a searing indictment of men who don’t live up to K. Michelle’s standards, while the gospel-tinged breakup ballad “Time” offers a more wounded view of love gone awry. Whether she’s taking those who have wronged her to task or searching for strength within herself, K. Michelle’s bold, up-front persona fuels her fiery brand of soul.
