Chrisette Michele soothes and seduces on her enchanting new record “Charades” off her upcoming project, Audrey Hepburn: The Mixtape. The R&B songbird adds some southern swag courtesy of 2 Chainz, who sings on the intro and raps a verse.

“If you’re wondering why I’m throwing you shade, it’s your charades,” coos Chrisette.

The collaboration shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. 2 Chainz shouted out his Def Jam labelmate (“Candlelight and Chrisette Michele”) on his song “Dope Peddler” off his debut Based on a T.R.U. Story.

Due December 8, Chrisette’s second mixtape was inspired by Audrey Hepburn. She recently took a trip to Europe to learn more about the late Hollywood legend and is working on Better, the follow-up to her 2010 album Let Freedom Reign.
