I believe it's an independent label called Peak distributed through Concord Music. Don't laugh at my funk

Sometimes he wore his hair a little too long and it gave him a slight feminine look. This was just ... He was fine! In this video.  It was the second single from El's 'In The Storm' album,released in 1991  A very good album,btw.Definitely. I used to wear the cassette out. My Heart Belongs to You was probably one of the funkiest tunes El ever did. Don't laugh at my funk

She is great. Her first two CD's are beautiful.
I didn't care for the later direction of her music. [Edited 3/26/10 12:28pm] "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

She looked so classy in that video. Especially to be so young. I remember eating dinner at the dining room table and Video Soul debuted this joint and I dropped my fork and slowly floated in front of the television just to clearly see how beautiful she was. I think I was eating my mom's spaghetti that night.  | |

Here's another one of my favorite songs from her:

I remember this song-never k new she sang it. She has a pleasant, generic voice that doesn't stand out to me "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I've never heard her voice referred to as generic, but I guess to each his own. I love her. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Sorry, to me she's just eh "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

As far as I'm concerned, she's a major 'R&B' star, just didn't crossover for whatever reason...
Not really a Chante cut, but she does feature heavily on it - "YOUR HOME IS IN MY HEART" - from the "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" soundtrack, with BOYZ II MEN and produced by JAM & LEWIS... magic! | |

One of the most amazing ballads I've ever heard, by anyone, written by Robin Thicke, it's a crime that this was never a single...
Curtains falls down Lights come on I'm alone in the dark and I sing the final notes from my heart Times when I write Late at night in my room The candle burned and the paper mirrors my choice of words Every Time I close my eyes and the world ain't on my side When I'm sure that I can't change a thing Then the sweetest man arrives In my life I am living out my dreams 'Cause you give me what I need You're the only air I breathe You're the only one I can count on on and on I can always count on On and on In my life I've learned to disguise with my eyes But he can see deep inside And he shares the feelings I've tried to hide Every time I close my eyes And the world ain't on my side And I'm sure that I can't change a thing Then the sweetest man arrives In my life I am living out my dreams 'Cause you give me what I need You're the only air I breathe You're the only one can I count on on and on I can always count on On and on In my life Every time I close my eyes And the world ain't on my side And I'm sure that I can't change a thing Then the sweetest man arrives In my life I am living out my dreams 'Cause you give me what I need You're the only air I breathe You're the only one I can count on on and on I can always count on On and on In my life [Edited 3/28/10 0:54am] | |

I think at one point she was. She stared in a movie once. My dad LOVES HER! I hear that she has a bad attitude in person. She's really pretty. I'm in the mood for love...simply because your near me. | |

I've never heard anything bad about Chante. I know several people that have worked and interviewed with her and they all compliment her on her sense of humor and how friendly she is. Maybe she had a bad attitude in the beginning? I don't know. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

"Classy" is the word that I've always used to describe Chante.She'd be in a music video wearing a long,sexy evening gown.Classy and sophisticated. | |

RONNYRON said: I love her work with JAM & LEWIS...
"Mood" "Chante's Got A Man" "I Started Crying" and one of my fave midtempo jams ever... "Better Than Making Love" I forgot to thank you for posting this joint last week. As I never heard it before. I didn't know they produced more songs for her than Chante's Got A Man. I swear Jam&Lewis give clinics in songwriting with their tunes. They know how to structure a song, tell a story, let it build and their vamps and counter choruses are to die for.Chante is a bad girl (vocally). I wish her even greater success in the future. | |

You have excellent taste! What makes it worse is that she was only in her early 20's or something like that when she first dropped Love's Taken Over. They definitely gave her a more mature image, probably due to the more contemporary R&B/Jazz sound of the record. | |

shorttrini said:[quote] phunkdaddy said: Her 4th cd Exposed was real good. I think most people were
turned off by the Jermaine Dupri track Straight Up since it was something she normally didn't do. Here are a couple of favorites from Exposed. I remember when "Bitter" came out. There was controversy over her use of the word n*@#er. Some radio stations here in NY, refused to play it, even the edited version. It soon died down, though. I'm about to go pull my CD out now. "Bitter" is my favorite song from her, but "Exposed" is my least favorite CD by her. The Japan version has a couple of nice bonus tracks on it. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.!
