The album is available for pre-order on iTunes and offers the soul stirring “I Don’t Like Me,” immediately upon order. About this very vulnerable track, K Michelle says: “I am aware of how the truth of my music helps women through difficult times in their lives. I have become their voice. We share similar experiences. Some, just don’t know how to express it. That is my gift.” Fans anxious for a sneak peak, can download an album sampler. Having begun her career as a classically trained pianist and completing college on a yodeling scholarship, K Michelle continues to confound the naysayers with her endless talent and versatility.
