Exiled (Album)

Exiled is the second studio album released by British recording artist Michelle Green. The album was released in Europe on the 15th October 2011 by Chaos Records and became one of the year's best selling albums. Exiled helped to re-launch Michelle's career after a hiatus. It produced the singles Exiled and Soldier alongside the promo singles Dance With Danger and You Just Lost Your Lover.
==Background and Development==
The writing process of the album started in late 2010 after the release of her debut album The Voice Of Me. Michelle wanted to make an experimental album that contrasted greatly with her debut.
"With 'The Voice Of Me' it was pretty much a collection of teenage girl emotions alongside some good promotion and production but with this album [Exiled] I wanted to really experiment and write more personal songs. I've grown a lot since my first album and I really want to show it. There will also be dance songs on the album but with a bit of a twist because as you know I always make music that suits me and I adapt current musical trends to make it a 'Michelle Green type song'."
During writing and recording Michelle said that she was listening to a lot of Ryan Ross Hernandez and Isabel. She tried to mesh the soulful and raw sound of Ryan's album with the pop and electro feel of Isabel's.
==Chart Performance==
The album was No.1 in the mid week charts on the Chart Heat Albums Chart however, on the Sunday when the charts were announced, Exiled entered and peaked at No.2.
The album was certified 2x Platinum.
==Singles==
Exiled was released in July 2011 as the album's lead single. The single peaked at No.4 in the Airplay Chart making it Michelle's 4th consecutive Top 5 hit. Michelle says that the instrumental for the track was heavily influenced by the music of Michael Jackson.
Soldier was released as the second and final single from the album in November 2011. The song was released in support of MacMillan Cancer Support, all profits from the single went to charity. The single is Michelle's biggest selling hit to date out selling her previous best seller. Red Symphony by far.
==Promo Singles==
Dance With Danger was released in April 2011 as a promo single. The song wasn't originally going to be included on Exiled but was added into the final tracklisting.
