You heard the song, now see the video. It's Chrisette Michele's video for "Epiphany." The first single off her album of the same name, due May 19. That was a quick song-to-video punch. Given the subject matter, the video is pretty much what you'd expect. What gives it multi-view value is Chrisette Michele's undeniably smoking vocals. Look, Ma! Not a single Auto-Tuned note. more..
