In 2008 Michele earned the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance award and in 2009 Best Urban/Alternative Performance awards. She released her debut album in 2007 titled I AM. The album included four hits “If I Have My Way”, “Best of Me”, “Be OK”, and “Love Is You”. The album's lead single “If I Have My Way” charted at No.4 on US Billboard's Hot Adult R&B Airplay and No.24 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Since her debut, Michelle has released a string of successful albums including Epiphany (2009), Let Freedom Reign (2010), and her latest body of work Better (2013). Better was the result of a three year hiatus from the music industry, one that Michelle said was necessary. The album debuted at No.12 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 27,000 copies in its first week. It was nominated for a 2014 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album.
