“Unpredictable”, the first single
to be released from Ottawa’s newest songstress, Keshia
Chanté gives the Canadian audience something to look
forward to. With artists like Nelly Furtado paving the road
to success and shows like Canadian Idol uncovering extraordinary
singers who are usually overlooked, it seems pop culture
is giving everyday people their shot at success. Not only
is it a relief, it is also a thrill to see truly talented
people like Chanté finally receive the spotlight
they deserve.
Along with “Unpredictable”,
Chanté’s single features “Shook –
The Answer”, a sassy comeback to Shawn Desman’s
original version that reminds listeners of the excitement
in the anonymity of a crush. The sheer force that is found
in her voice is unbelievable. Add a fresh beat that is reminiscent
of Monica’s “Just One Of Those Days” and
what you get is a recipe for success. With a voice as cool
as coconut water on a hot day, and style to boot, the 14
year-old Chanté brings Canada a much-needed mixture
of Aaliyah’s chic elegance and Brandy’s formidable
sound.
You
can catch Keshia Chanté at Kool Haus with R &B
boy band, In Essence and fellow “Shook” playmate,
Shawn Desman on Saturday, September 27th.
