#LISTEN: "THE VALLEY" BY KESHIA CHANTE

Good evening and welcome to The Rebirth, #KCRyders! After a four-year hiatus the newly anticipated single from Keshia is here! (A bit earlier than the helmed 11/11) Nevertheless, we've gotten NEW music and THAT we're pretty excited about! The song itself details a relationship in which she'd like her distant significant other to at least meet her in the middle regarding where they are.

Article  from BET.com:

Keshia Chanté is taking her career back to where it all began.

The former co-host of BET’s 106 and Park is stepping back to the mic, and this time it’s all about the music. The 28-year-old Canadian songstress and Juno Award winner has returned with her new single, “The Valley.” Produced by Stephen Rezza, the track finds Keshia Chanté employing her sensual vocals to plead for a love unreturned. Relatable to many who’ve been there, the singer notes that “The Valley” is a snapshot of early adulthood.

“Love, heartbreak, dysfunction, my 20’s are about self discovery. My sound is where angst and honesty meet,” she says.

Keshia Chanté has previously garnered Top 10 radio success in Canada, as well as rounded up awards and acclaim. She originally hit the music scene at the age of 15, and has since rounded out her career to also include a successful two-year television stint. She now says the sum of her experiences has heightened her overall craft.

"I may have been a singer for many years, but today I am an Artist."

Chanté’s upcoming release is expected in 2017, and features collaborations with singer/songwriter Tayla Parx (Alicia Keys, Firth Harmony) producer Boi-1Da (Drake, Rihanna) and a host of others.

THROWBACK: KC SINGS "FIND YOUR LOVE" BY DRAKE

Updates are a tad bit slow for the moment, so that being said, here's a trip down memory lane! About two years ago (Fall 2010) KC recorded a beautiful acapella rendition of Drake's "Find Your Love", after a long day of events for TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). Till this day, she and the Degrassi star, and Young Money rap wonder better known as Aubrey Graham are still great friends. Check out her rendition of the single from Drake's first album "Thank Me Later" below. Enjoy & have a great Saturday!

NEW INTERVIEW: B101 INTERVIEWS KESHIA CHANTE FOR YTV'S THE NEXT STAR & MORE!

Good Morning #KCRyders! Hope you all are having a great Saturday! Today is the kick off for "The Next Star" city-wide search for YTV's "The Next Star", beginning in Halifax, Novia Scotia! (SN: Happy Belated Birthday to KC's co-judge, Tara Oram!)

To promote the show, KC called into Barrie's B101, this past thursday (April 26th) to chat it up with DJ Chris, about starting her career in her early teens much like the hopefuls on the show "The Next Star" Season 5 will be. She also chatted about her duties as a "Next Star" judge, gave her personal advice on how to do your best at auditions as well as chatted on the infamous question about her friendship with Rap sensation, Drake, otherwise known to her and loyal Degrassi viewers by his given name, Aubrey Graham.

She also said that she expects the music video for her current single, "I Miss U" to drop next week, (A week earlier than originally scheduled...) and says that it has a personal an imitate story-line attached to it, and that it's the most open she's ever been in a music video. You can hear all of this and more by listening to the interview below:

THROWBACK THURSDAY: FALLEN FT. DRAKE

Well, since it's Thursday, and you our fellow #KCRyders inspired today's throwback theme, here it is! Fallen by KC Ft. Drake. Here's a fun fact that you may or may not know about the song:

According to KC, the song was "originally meant to be released as the next single following '2U', however her then label, Sony BMG decided that they didn't want to release it as a single instead went with the alternate version featuring Freeway", which is the one that made the album's final tracklisting.

Well, I bet Sony BMG is regretting that choice now. But you live and you learn. Drake is one huge force in the rap game now, worldwide. That in itself leaves one to wonder why KC and Drake have yet to team up again. One can only hope... Listen to the throwback remix of Fallen by KC ft. a young Aubrey Graham below:
