Charmin Michelle & Joel Shapira - Pure Imagination (2005)

“She gently seduces the listener time after time, whether the fare is ageless blues, warm bossa, intimate love song, or upbeat novelty. She's a flower, a lovesome thing.”
–Tom Surowicz (Star Tribune)

"To refer to this recording as “easy on the ears” is true, yet glosses over the subtleties of phrasing and emotion that fill every track. Compared at times to Billie Holiday and Nancy Wilson, Michelle’s trademarks are clear tone,
precise diction, and true pitch; she has a beautiful lower registerand wide comfort zone; every track carries her personal,gentle imprint."
