Chanté Moore Signs With Shanachie Entertainment!

Friday, February 15th, 2013

Chante Moore Promo Shoot

Great news music lovers, the underrated and greatly missed sexy chanteuse Chanté Moore is back! Fresh off the heels of the announcement that she will be part of the upcoming cast of R&B Diva’s: LA, she has also signed with Shanachie Entertainment. With that, you can expect new music in April 2013. For more details, check out the press release below:

Singer and songwriter Chanté Moore’s voice, stunning beauty and unerring artistic vision have afforded the Gold-selling R&B singer to enjoy an illustrious two-decade career that is rare in this business. “I have been blessed and honored to do what I love for a living for as long as I have,” confides the dynamic songbird. “My fans who have continued with me on my journey have become a part of me and the music.” Moore’s genuine connection with her audience has been forged through her intimate and personal songwriting. Chanté’s effortless combination of R&B soaked in gospel roots, soul accents kissed with a touch of jazz and grace with fire, coalesce on her Shanachie Entertainment debut, Moore Is More (April 23, 2013). Chanté wrote or co-wrote most of the songs featured on the new CD. “My heart is overwhelmed with excitement and joy in life and in my music! I have more to give my fans, more then meets the eye, more of the same and more then what you expect.”

With seven albums, twenty charting singles and collaborations with everyone from Prince, R. Kelly, Boys II Men and El Debarge to The Isley Brothers, Babyface and Raphael Saadiq, singer Chanté Moore was destined to sing. In fact, in French, her name literally means “to sing.” The Grammy nominated, American Music Award and NAACP Award-winning singer’s distinctive vocals have been featured in films like Waiting To Exhale, Beverly Hills Cop III, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Romeo Must Die and Big Momma’s House. No stranger to the silver screen or stage, Ms. Moore has starred in theatrical productions alongside such lauded talent as Loretta Divine and Tisha Campbell-Martin, as well as fellow vocal powerhouses Vickie Winans and Dave Hollister. Moore will star in the highly anticipated TV One reality show spinoff, R&B Diva’s: L.A., slated to premiere June 9, 2013. The show will follow the lives and careers of Moore as well as Kelly Price, Lil’ Mo, Claudette Ortiz, Michel’le and Dawn Robinson. Like fellow songbirds Minnie Ripperton, Deniece Williams and Mariah Carey, chanteuse Chanté Moore shares the rare distinction of possessing a spectacularly soaring range. Shanachie Entertainment VP of A&R, Danny Weiss, “I’m super-enthusiastic about working with Chanté now, not only because she is such a brilliant vocalist, but also because she is entering into an exciting new phase in her life both personally and artistically. Moore Is More will manifest that growth and excitement.”

Abiah-Doves

Thursday, February 14th, 2013

Pianist, songwriter and vocalist Abiah has been under the radar far too long. Abiah has received raving reviews for his album Love As a Ballad from music enthusiasts much like yourselves. Robert Glasper is a relative of Abiah and is featured on several tracks of the album. So in keeping with the mood of the season, I’d be remised if I didn’t in the very least, shine a spot light on this man’s body of work. The arrangements are so well put together, thoughtful, and in the case of Abiah’s remake of Prince’s “Doves” downright inventive! Check out his entire album as it will be a pleasure to sit back and really enjoy.
