You should buy this compilation just for "Wey U" which is from the "Waiting to Exhale" soundtrack from 1995. I believe it's been criminally slept on. Once the beat provided by Babyface drops, you'd think Sade was about to croon but in fact it's Chante Moore's sultry, airy vocals. It's not what she's saying but it's how she's saying it: Beautiful. "Love's Taken Over" begins with a hard hitting beat and goes into a laidback groove entailing a simple, yet impressionable hook that ultimately put Chante Moore on the mainstream map. "Who Do I Turn To?" is a little more fast-paced with nice production. "Old School Lovin'" is her breakout hit, soulfully romantic.
Get this compilation if you like R&B period!

CHANTE MOORE IS ONE OF THE BEST PURE ARTIST TODAY. UNFORTUENATLY HER TALENT HAS BEEN UNDER VALUED BY THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. I ENJOYED THIS CD VERY MUCH. CHANTE HAS A VERY MOVING, BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND PEOPLE WHO SET HIGH STANDARDS ABOUT THE MUSIC THEY BUY FOR THEIR COLLECTIONS WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

CHANTE MOORE HAS HER OWN STYLE. SHE IS VERY TALENTED. HER VOICE WHEN SHE SINGS IF YOU LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART WILL SEND A SHIVER DOWN YOUR SPINE. CHANTE DOESN'T NEED TO RAISE HER VOICE WHEN SHE SINGS SHE JUST HAVE THAT NATURAL FLOW TO HER THAT IS WARM AND SOOTHING. SHE IS SOMEONE YOU CAN LISTEN TO WITH YOUR PARTNER AND FALL IN LOVE WITH HER MUSIC ALONE. SHE HAS THE NATURAL, SEDUCING, BUT YET RELAXING, MELLOWED,PASSIONATE VOICE THAT SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE ONE THAT YOU ARE LISTENING TO, WITH. I REALLY WISH SHE RECEIVED BETTER PROPS FOR HER SINGING BECAUSE SHE IS ONE GREAT , TALENTED SINGER. THIS CD IS OK BUT IT DOESN'T LIST THE BEST OF CHANTE. SHE HAS WAY MORE SONGS THAT YOU CAN HEAR HER TRUE SINGING TALENT.

If you have the rare ability to listen with your ears and your heart instead of listening to what the music industry calls "good," then I'm telling you that Chante Moore is definitely an artist that you will cherish and listen to non-stop. Her voice can be compared to any beautiful natural setting, the rising of the sun, twinkling of the stars, or delicate fluttering of a butterfly from flower to flower in the spring.

Although this greatest hits compilation doesn't even began to demonstrate all of Chante Moore's vocal abilities, it is a nice blend of all her previous work. Standouts are "Love's Taken Over," My Special Perfect One," and "Wey U (you must listen to Chante's backup vocals and the instruments of this track--no it's not tropical sounds--that's Chante Moore's incredibly sweet and high voice.) If Minnie Riperton were alive, I know she would be happy, like a proud mom. Also great collectibles include her latest release with her husband and musical partner, Kenny Lattimore, "Things That Lovers Do," her unbelievable cover of Minnie Riperton's "Inside My Love" (she adds her own sweet style and matches Minnie's incredible range). Most recently, Chante Moore collaborated with the smooth-jazz supergroup the Rippingtons to sing Aretha Franklin's "Till You Come Back to Me," which she totally redefines in her own special way.

Don't let the "singers/strippers" and the music industry of today dictate to you what is good music. Don't get me wrong, some popular singers of today are excellent. But there are many more who are not recognized by the majority, yet sound even better than popular artists , like Chante Moore.

If anyone has the "Candlelight & You Special" that aired on BET back in 93', I would like to get a copy of it on VHS or DVD (preferably). The VHS copy or DVD copy must be HIGH QUALITY (NO lines going up and down the screen, NO faded in and out of sound, etc., etc.). It also must be in it's entirety. I'm not just looking for part of the "Candlelight & You Special", but the whole segment. If you can provide this for me, I will give you the extended version of "As If We Never Met". It has 3 versions. This is a hard to find CD. This CD is NOT a COPY. If there are any questions, please email me at grayjg@yahoo.com
