About K. Michelle
An R&B singer who blends searing honesty with modern soul music, Memphis-born K. Michelle reveled in her fully realized self in her music and on TV during the 2010s and ā20s. After abandoning her law-school plans to pursue music full time, K. Michelle signed her first record deal in 2009; her first single was the jittery collaboration with hip-hop doyenne Missy Elliott āFakinā It,ā but its attendant album was canceled because of a label-reorganization shuffle. K. Michelle took that as an opportunity, though, releasing a series of mixtapes that had her playing around with current R&B hits and, in 2012, joining the cast of VH1ās Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. That upped her profile, and in 2013 she released her major-label debut, Rebellious Soul, which showcased her versatile lyricism and formidable voice on tracks like āCanāt Raise a Manā and āPay My Bills.ā Since then, sheās balanced her reality-TV notoriety with increasingly strong albums that have revealed the breadth of her musical background. More Issues Than Vogue, released in 2016, invited Jason Derulo along for the ride on the whooping āMake the Bed,ā while 2020ās All Monsters Are Human brought a bit of country twang into the mix on āAll the Loversā and some bedroom vibes to a New Edition classic on āThe Rain.ā
