Milestone was released through Payne's label Rich Hipster and Caroline Records on June 10, 2016, in both standard and deluxe editions.

Milestone shows a range of music styles, going from a trap-inspired records to something for the grown and sexy.

Records including "Meant To Be" and "Soulmate" represent Chrisette's signature R&B sound."

Hmm, that’s subjective; for some, the theme may (sonically) seem all over the place, but it’s respectable in many ways; the album features clean production, and Chrisette Michele still showcases she’s a dominating talent with her wide range of vocals.

It’s an understandable mixture of sounds and themes because it displays her growth as an artist, an individual, and business woman who’s letting her creative freedom shine as an indie label artist/owner.
