The second purpose of The Soulbabies’ Chronicles is also it’s mission: To bring Soul Music to those who believe it to be a lost style of music. For and by the children of Soul Music, The Soulbabies’ Chronicles represents the many styles of Soul Music. The goal is to share this mixtape series with the lovers of Soul and re-introduce them to the music that they adore.

Each volume of The Soulbabies Chronicles will pair DJ DAN C.E. with a different Soul Artist (Volume 1 features Soul Tracks Readers Choice Awards’ 2012 New Artist Of The Year Nominee, Amma Whatt!).

Behind the Scenes Video of CHARADES by Chrisette Michele

Friday, November 9th, 2012

Change is an inevitable thing in life and I’m glad to see Chrisette Michele embracing it so beautifully with her “avant-garde” look and upcoming project. Inspired by her travels overseas along with the muse of her favorite fashion icons, Michele has teamed up with celebrity photographer, Derek Blanks for the creation of her upcoming mixtape project, Audrey Hepburn: An Audiovisual Presentation, featuring a collage of docu-shorts and photography fused with the sounds of Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz and World Music. Personally, I’m really excited to see this project. Being an admirer of Michele’s voice and the visual arts, I can only imagine the audiovisual dimension this mixtape will incorporate.  Audrey Hepburn: An Audiovisual Presentation will be available for free download December 8th.

In the meantime, check out the “behind the scenes” video for her mixtape single, CHARADES integrating her new style she playfully calls “Rich Hipster”.
