CHANTE MOORE
Since arriving on the R&B music scene over 15 years ago via her sensual debut single “Love’s Taken Over,” Chante Moore has flourished into an accomplished female favorite. Billboard singles like “It’s Alright,” “This Time” and the top two smash “Chante’s Got a Man” helped put her name on a short list of artists known for consistency. After recording two duet projects with fellow R&B vocalist Kenny Lattimore (also her husband of six years) and achieving regard in the gospel world, the Grammy-nominated vocalist returns to the solo spotlight with her new , Love the Woman, due June 17th on Peak Records.
Arriving nearly a decade after her last solo effort, 2000’s Exposed, Love the Woman offers fans a new twist on classic Chante via contributions from a host of hit-making producers, her longtime musical mentor George Duke among them. Chante also teamed with Grammy-winning producer Raphael Saadiq on the acoustic-flavored “Special,” on which she sings about the importance of a woman’s self-worth. Of working with Saadiq she says, “I like how diverse he is with the way he attacks music. Chante also offers a moving, Duke-produced rendition of Minnie Ripperton’s “Give Me Time.”
The lead single, “Ain’t Supposed To Be,” was written and produced by newcomer Shalea Frazier. In addition to rock-solid R&B material, Love the Woman gave Chante the opportunity to rekindle her love affair with jazz standards. She successfully tackles Nancy Wilson’s “Guess Who I Saw Today,” on which she toys with an unsuspecting cheating lover. And she takes on The Queen of Soul on “Start of Something Big,” originally recorded by a very young Aretha Franklin.
