Product Description

Until recently, national music charts hadn't included a Canadian-born, teen-targeted pop phenom (a la Ciara or JoJo), but the time and climate were certainly ripe for one. With the entry of Keshia Chanté's self-titled record, this talented young artist is quickly filling the void with a strong release. The fact that she recorded her CD at the age of 15 is impressive enough, but Keshia's music has the one-two punch of melodic hooks and the voice to back them up; a combination that can and will appeal to dance/pop music fans of any age. The tune that first brought her to the limelight was "Unpredictable", a sugar-pop track that definitely appealed to her younger audience. Other songs on the disc, however, will hook a host of age groups in via her soulful melodies, most especially the disc's highlight, "Bad Boy", an amusing, hum-able tale of wanting her boyfriend to be more hardcore and less sweet.
Without overtly doing it, Keshia's debut reflects influences and pays homage to those who have given Chanté some roots: Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Missy Elliott, even a little Snoop-like rap all filter through the music, showing that this girl has been doing her homework. Fellow Canadian Shawn Desman (singer of recent dance hit "Get Ready") is also all over this disc, co-writing almost every track. With such a soulful voice and two Juno nominations to boot, Chanté has some staying power, and her talents are strong enough to see her through pop radio's short attention span. -- Denise Sheppard

I Have been in school with Keshia for my whole life and I have never seen such amazing talent before in a now, 16 year old. With an incredible singing voice and a debut record, I'd like to say congratulations Keshia.
Here's my rating on all of the tracks:
1. Intro (Featuring Don Skilachi): Cool beginning 5/5
2. Does He Love Me (Featuring Foxy Brown): An awesome song with the amazing Foxy Brown. this is Keshias 3rd single. 5/5
3. Spinnin': Cool song with a little bit of a dance vibe to it. 4/5
4. Unpredictable: This song was Keshias first single with a music video. she was only 14 when she recorded it. 5/5
5. Bad Boy (Interlude): Fun interlude to get into the Bad Boy song. 4/5
6. Bad Boy: Great song. Keshias 2nd single. One of my favorite songs on this record. i love the hip-hop vibe 5/5
7. Singles Night: Cool song. 4/5
8. Let The Music Take You High: I really like this track. 5/5
9. Slackin' Producers (Interlude): I really hate this interlude 1/5
10. Shook (The Answer): I guess since this was Keshia's first song on the radio at the age of 14 I won't give her too much of a hard time 4/5
11. Tonight: i really think this song is cool 5/5
12. Together: also a very cool song. getting into the ballads now. 4/5
13. True Colours: a good song. 5/5

Bonus Track: Bad Boy (Remix): her bad boy is singing back to her in this mix. 5/5
I hope that you buy this record to support my girl Keshia, you will be very satisfied, with money well spent.

I had the opportunity to listen to the cd and all I have to say is "WOW!" I could not believe this 15 year old girl sounds the way she sounds. She is so mature. The album is so hott!!!! I can't stop listening to track #2 "Does He Love Me" with Foxy Brown. What makes this album fun is that it carries many dance numbers like "Bad Boy", "Spinnin'", "Does He Love Me" & "Singles Night". Keshia also managed to place her other top 10 hits, "Unpredictable" and "Shook (The Answer)" on this album too. Keshia Chante really shows off her beautiful vocals in some balads too, such as, "True Colours" and "Come Fly With Me". This is a 15 track album and definitely not a cd you would want to miss. I give this girl 2 thumbs up and I give the cd 5 *****! Definitely worth the purchase :-)
