"Love Is You"

What's your definition of it?
How does it make you feel?
Tell me what you say that truly makes it real
Kings and Queens, Philosophers have tried so hard to find
Tell me what it means to you dear, nevermind

Love is kind when the world is cold
Love stays strong when the fight gets old
Love's a shoulder to lean on
Love is you
Love's like the water when the well runs dry
Quench my thirst, keep me alive
Just need one sip baby
Love is you
Love is you, love is you,
Love is you, love is you

Is it possible, there is a kiss that's so divine
Or am I just a fool, is it all in my mind?
Is there something chemical
A scientist might say
Well love must be a drug
To make me feel this way

Cause love's my permission to be who I am
No inhibitions cause you understand
Freedom to breathe oh baby
Love is you
Love's like a kiss when the sun goes down
Holds me tight when no one's around
Love's what I want to hold on to
Love is you

Love is you, Love is you, Love is you,
Love is you, Love is you,
Love is you, Love is you,

Love is kind, it makes me stronger
I don't have to look no longer
You're the one I cling to
Love is you
When the chips are down
Love will stick around
I'm so glad I found
Love is you

As much as I've tried to clarify
Love's quite simple, he's just my guy
Perfect definition
Love is you
Love is you, love is you
Love is you... is you...

If you didn't get to know Chrisette Michele by way of Jay-Z (she was the one singing sparkling hooks on "Lost Ones") or Nas (she channeled Billie Holiday on "Can't Forget About You"), stop wasting valuable seconds.

Though the hype on this pure-voiced, raunch-resistant songstress has her resuscitating a classic jazz sound that rarely infiltrates R&B--comparisons to Lady Day, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald are mounting--she's more her generation's answer to Erykah Badu: any notes she wraps her lips around come out fresh-sounding, and she adds to the effect with a built-in elegance that's irresistible to R&B and non-R&B fans alike.

Hip-hoppers get a custom dose of Michele's magic on "Be O.K.," featuring the flabbergastingly prolific yet still likable Will.i.am, jazz sentimentalists will instantly succumb to "Like a Dream," and anybody with ears on his or her head will warm to the slinky slow jam that is "If I Have My Way." Michele's is a rare talent; count on this outstanding debut propelling her to stratospheric heights. --Tammy La Gorce

傳承當代靈魂樂的動人音韻，風華再現爵士的香醇聲調，搭配節奏藍調、嘻哈等多類元素調和，Chrisette Michele續載著自90年代以降大行其道的Neo-Soul樂派，這位擁有誘人歌聲且散發無比嗓音魅力的黑珍珠，擁有的一流創作功力更是為其演唱事業加分良多。

受到饒舌天皇傑斯大力栽培、簽約Def Jam旗下的Chrisette，在尚未出道前，已是Jay-Z、Nas等饒舌天王們最愛的女聲，為不少重要作品美麗獻聲。在求學時期都是擔任教會合唱團領唱的Chrisette，歌唱技巧已練就至人人稱羨的地步。12歲開始寫歌，音樂聆聽寬度更廣涉古典與爵士領域。初試啼聲之作『I Am』，完全發揮Chrisette創作以及製作上的才華，發行首週登上全美節奏藍調/嘻哈榜Top5+流行專輯榜Top29，其中單曲“Be OK”抱走葛萊美「年度最佳都會音樂/另類演出」獎項肯定，替Chrisette的堅強實力再添一筆。
