K. Michelle’s First Album on Her Own Label is Here, Listen to ‘All Monsters Are Human’

Kimberly “K. Michelle” Pate’s fifth album is here! All Monsters Are Human is being released on Pate’s own label, Chase Landin d/b/a No Color No Sound Records.

The 13-track album follows her recent mixtape, Not 1 Fuck Given (Never Have, Never Will…), and is her first album after departing from Atlantic. All Monsters Are Human is straight R&B, no chasers, and lasts for 49 minutes throughout. 

The first track on the album, “Just Like Jay,” crosses country and R&B. If it’s any insight to the country road Pate is going, along with the country singles from her mixtape, she’s sure to make an impression in the country game.
