## History[edit]

Michelle was originally formed by producers Julian Kaufman and Charlie Kilgore with the plan to release one album dedicated to New York City. After the critical praise of their 2018 debut album, HEATWAVE, the group decided to keep on making music together.[3]

In 2020, Michelle released two standalone singles, "SUNRISE" and "UNBOUND". "SUNRISE" came out on July 16, 2020.[4] There were three alternate versions released in the subsequent months: an stripped version, one featuring Arlo Parks, and a remix by the booyah! kids featuring Deem Spencer.[5] "UNBOUND" came out on October 5, 2020.[5][6] Michelle released two alternate versions of the song: a remix by Austin Millz and a stripped version.[7][8] Michelle released another standalone single, "FYO", on January 27, 2021.[9] The song is about the group's members' experience of growing up as mixed-race minorities in the US.[10] The group later released two alternate versions: a remix with Chai (band)|CHAI and a stripped version.[11][12]

On September 14, 2021, Michelle released their new song, "SYNCOPATE", the first single off their second album.[13] The next day, they announced the title and tracklist of their upcoming album, AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS, set to release on January 28, 2022.[14] The group released the album's second single, "MESS U MADE" on October 27, 2021.[15] The third single, "EXPIRATION DATE" was released on January 5, 2022.[16] On January 19, 2022, the band announced that the release date of "AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS" was delayed to March 4, 2022.[17] Michelle released their fourth single from the album, "POSE", on February 28, 2022.[18] Their second album, AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS, came out on March 4, 2022.
