Something strange and fascinating happens on Chrisette Michele's new CD, just when it's almost over. Fourteen songs in, during "If Nobody Sang Along," Michele sings lines that implicitly question everything that went before. "Who is all this for?/Is it my song or yours?/Would I even sing my song/if nobody sang along." It's an amazing line of questioning for an artist to raise in public: What are my motivations? Am I singing for the record company, radio programmers and fans, or am I expressing my soul? |
