I feel like Chrisette is so incredibly lost as an artist. She changes her style (both appearance and music) with every release, it seems. I get the feeling she is just trying everything in an attempt to find something that sticks and resonates with the general public but no one is really checking for her these days.

I loved her first two albums and Goodbye Game from Let Freedom Reign. I think she had an album after that but didn't even bother.

LOL, do you mean her Grammy nominated album "better" with the #1 urban ac hit " A couple of forevers"? I have all of her albums and she really doesn't change her style up that much. I think the issue is people want to put her in a box, like they do most black women singing R&B music and she doesnt want to be required to only sing Urban AC soul ballads. The song sounds like a 2016 "Epiphany" or "Charades".

I don't really like this style for her, but Unbreaklable is pretty good. I don't really check her for midtempos, so okay, why not.

7 extra tracks for deluxe edition? That's almost another album.

I loved her 1st album, enjoyed the 2nd. Let Freedom Reign was a dud to me, but I thought Better was good album overall. I thought there were some great songs on there. I skipped the Opus.
She's one of those who change direction so much it's hard to pin down exactly who she is as an artist.

Might check this out. I really enjoyed her music when first came out. Ugh! Her debut I Am is so underrated.

Also, none of her subsequent albums sound like her debut. So you might want to listen to all her other offerings to make sure you'll really be ready for her new stuff. Lol

^^^^True but how many knew she won a grammy tho?? I feel like it's underrated in terms of exposure. It definitely should've sold more than is has now.

I want her to go back to her second album sound. I felt she was "her" on that album. Now she has a good or great song here and there for me. Is her mama still managing her?

Although I reserve final judgment until a project is heard in full, listening to the iTunes snippets made me realize how much I don't want an UrbanTrap&AC album from her.

So she basically gave us an album full of cute lil sexy bops. The album is cohesive in that respect but it's not a sound for her that works for me at all. But I gave the album a full listen because that tone of hers.

Diamond Letter Steady Soulmate Unbreakable
That's about all I remember and care to. A Soundclick binge on trap beats does not a good R&B album make; just a derivative, monotonous one.

I like this album more than anything since her debut, which was stellar. I wish she'd go back to that old school soul sound. In the meantime, I'll bop my head to this.

OMG. This album is actually pretty good. Diamond Letter is probably my favorite song from her since Goodbye Game.

"Soulmate" and "Meant to Be" are the best songs. The rest is solid.
EDIT: I forgot "To the Moon" with that great production.

I thought this would be terrible, but I actually like quite a few tracks.
