Chante Moore - Love The Woman

“Best-known for several R&B hits in the ’90s (including “Chanté’s Got a Man”), Chanté Moore returns on new label Peak Records for her first solo album in eight years. Under the guidance of such vocal-minded producers as Warryn Campbell, Raphael Saadiq and longtime mentor George Duke, Moore’s soulful and sultry voice still shines. Steering clear of the contemporary guest-star-feature trap, Moore goes it alone to great effect as she switches gears from R&B to jazz and points in between. She’s at her most engaging on the heart-rending single “It Ain’t Supposed to Be This Way.” And while covers can be a dicey proposition, Moore puts her own resonating stamp on Minnie Riperton’s “Give Me Time” and Nancy Wilson’s signature “Guess Who I Saw Today.” —Gail Mitchell”
