Michel'le Toussant (pronounced /m???'le?/), (born 1970) better known
as Michel'le, is an American R&B singer-songwriter known for
her squeaky, child-like speaking voice which is a startling contrast
to her strong vocals.
Michel'le was originally the featured female vocalist on World Class
Wreckin' Cru's 1987 single "Turn Off the Lights". In 1998,
she released her second album Hung Jury, but it garnered little attention
and failed to chart any singles.
Michel'le was signed to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. In 1989, she
released her self-titled debut album produced entirely by then-boyfriend
Dr. Dre. The album contained "No More Lies" and the hit
singles "Nicety" and "Something in My Heart." Michel'le
sold 2.7 million copies worldwide.
Her most recent music was a contribution to the Dysfunktional Family
soundtrack in 2003. She has since confirmed through several media
outlets that she’s been working on new material and looking
for a label for her third album.
A trailer video for Michel'le's brand new single "freedom to
love" can be seen on Youtube.
