Chrisette Michille's sophmore album "Epiphany" topped the billboard top 200 charts and it came as a surprise to the soulful sista. While backstage at David Letterman show, she says that she was in awe when she heard the news. CNN.com caught up with miss Chrisette and asked a few questions about her new album:

CNN: Tell me about the single.

Michele: "Epiphany" is about a girl who's sitting on her couch and saying "You know what? I'm sick and tired of waiting for these phone calls. I'm sick and tired of waiting for him to come home." I think I'm just about over being his girlfriend. And that's her epiphany. That's her a-ha moment.

CNN: How does this album demonstrate how you've progressed as an artist?

Michele: One way is that I didn't write some of the songs. Pride destroyed! Ego smashed! Pens, pencils thrown across the room! It was so tough at first.

But then I started working with Ne-Yo. Ne-Yo is the easiest person to talk to, and he made my experiences come to life with his lyrics. I was afraid that if somebody took the pen and the pad that it would suddenly turn into somebody else. But he did a wonderful job of capturing Chrisette Michele and it was a beautiful experience.

CNN: I hear you're a bit of a prankster.

Michele: When I was in school I used to prank my teachers all the time. But I was really, really nice. I love to make people laugh. And even in those pranks, the teachers would laugh most of the time.

CNN: What's your favorite album of 2009 so far?

Michele: Mine (smiles mischievously).

Album Review: 3.5 of 5 stars. Fav songs Another One, Porcelain Doll, Fragile
