WORLD PREMIERE: "I MISS U" MUSIC VIDEO

Evening #KCRyders! Feeling like a proud big sis right now. This is video that we as #KCRyders have been waiting for. It doesn't need an introduction, but we're pleased to present to you the newest music video from our girl Keshia Chante, "I Miss U" Directed by Marc Andre Debruyne (Shooting Star, Set U Free). It premiered today on Much Music's New.Music.Live. where KC also judged a dance contest as well.

As far as this latest cinematic masterpiece from Ms. Chante? In essence you'll get to see what a day in the life of her is really like, and cameos from all of those close to her whether it be family, friends and most importantly her special guy. The concept is simplistic, but it's carried out extremely well, and I'm proud to say that this is the best video Keshia's ever made in her entire career. Click here to view the amazing new music video for "I Miss U". Job well done KC!

NEW VIDEO: BTS "I MISS U" MUSIC VIDEO DAY 2

Good Morning #KCRyders! Oh you're in for a real treat! A new "Behind The Scenes" video has surfaced for KC's new music video "I Miss U" which features a host of familiar faces, family and friends that KC's acquired through her career & life over the years: Her Aunt Chantel (she was in the BTS of Set U Free if you look closely), her two cousins Michelle & Jess, her best friend Daniel (@djonesproducer), her long time manager and friend Jen Hyland (@jenhyland) make cameo appearances in this second half of a two-part series.

In true Tanjola style, of course the video for the second day of her video shoot was released first before day one, something a bit similar to when KC shot the video for "Test Drive" back in 2010 and hadn't released the single yet. lol Either way, according to KC major props go to Antoine Biko (@AntoineBiko) for capturing this inside look because he created the amazing BTS video you'll see below. Hopefully KC & Tanjola keep Mr. Antonie on the roster from here on out regarding her BTS videos from here on out. The short visual is a clean, consistent video and it looks like a mini documentary of KC's life. #Winning!






And don't forget that KC will be performing the single for the first time on Breakfast Television Edmonton this morning! The full music video premieres on Thursday, May 24th, 2012 on Much Music on New.Music.Live.

UPCOMING: KC WILL BE ON N.M.L. MAY 24TH!

 BIG NEWS! Mark your calenders #KCRyders because KC will be on New.Music.Live. on May 24th! This is definately something to get excited about because she'll be there not only to judge the weekly dance battle, but she'll be premiering the music video for her single "I Miss U", and talking about her role as a judge on YTV's The Next Star with Next Star auditions in Toronto, Ontario on May 19th & 20th. If you're apart of #KCRydersCanada and wanna meet the Canadian R&B Princess at N.M.L. in person, get your tickets by clicking here!

WATCH: NIGHT & DAY ALBUM COMMERCIAL

Blink, and you'll miss it. Evening #KCRyders! It's been a long time coming for the album commercial for KC's new album to be posted here on LKC. We checked in with our #KCRyder & #KCRST Member @JaneRepsU for verification on if this was the actual commercial and she says that low and behold it is the official "Night & Day" commercial.

To be honest, was expecting some live shots, kind of like how Rihanna did with the commercial for her album "LOUD" (excuse me for comparing...) because to our knowledge wasn't KC shooting a commercial for her album? Maybe I misread this back in March:

Brainstorming ideas for my upcoming #IMissU +#Night&Day TV commercial!! Woohooo!!! *inserting hot mama shots in slow motion* lol 

Source:  KC's Twitter - March-13-2012

If you were expecting something ground breaking & breathtakingly epic, you won't find that here. But for what it's worth at least she has a commercial out there, and you can't fault her label for actually trying. So they get kudos for the effort, after all it is promo, and that's what KC deserves & needs.

However, on to bigger news! This week keep your eyes peeled, word on the street is the music video for #IMissU is supposed to be released this week, with some kind of teaser. If word is true, it'd be a week before schedule... For now, enjoy the commercial!

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:

ON SET: "I MISS U" VIDEO SHOOT - DAY 1

Morning #KCRyders! Today is the first day of Keshia's video shoot for the fourth single, "I Miss U" which will be a two-day shoot concluding on tomorrow. So far we have the above photo courtesy Levi, ( part of the production crew VicPark that produced six-songs on Keshia's 3rd Album "Night & Day") who graciously tweeted us a photo of Keshia in the studio as part of the video's concept.

NEW MUSIC: I MISS U REMIX FT. FAMOUS + REVIEW

Update: This version of the single has been serviced to Candaian radio. (March 29th, 2012)

Okay, before we even get into my review on this remix, let me just say that I'm all for artistic expression as the next person. And I'm all for branching out and finding new and upcoming talent. I'm even for supporting talent that comes from your hometown and all of that jazz. But none of it can excuse the fact that I feel like this is a crank and I just got Punk'd and I'm waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come out of hiding. This is a remix that somebody could have easily done on Youtube could have done as a fan tribute to Keshia. And honestly, at first listen, that's what I thought this was.

 It's easy to cut and splice someone elses rap vocals over a song that's already been recorded but this is down right without a doubt my least favorite effort from Keshia to date. This doesn't make me any less of a fan or supporter of Keshia's work, and I love KC to bits and pieces, but I prefer the album version of "I Miss U" over this "remix" to be perfectly honest.

To some this may sound harsh, and I can't speak for the other members of LKC in regards to how they feel regarding this remix, but me personally. I'll pass. Bring on the 4th Album please.


Listen for yourself below.

KC QUICK NEWS: KC AWARDED A MuchFACT FOR "I MISS U"

Morning #KCRyders! Shoutout to our boy iSH [actor (KC's televison co-star on SOUL) & rapper] for the info. He tweeted to Keshia on yesterday the following:

congrats to my tv sister @KeshiaChante for the muchfact! Much love!

Of course had to do a little research and so upon doing said research I found out that Keshia was awarded what's called a MuchFACT, an award to help assist with the production of the music video for her new single "I Miss U". This is a great award, and thus it'll result in a quality music video, not leaving the funding solely on her label Tanjola. Clearly it's a God-send so, I now understand a lot more why Keshia taps Canadian resources to use for her videos because look at the funding Canada offers to support its own! Even so I hope that she enlists a director from the states at least once because she deserves a Melina-Anthony Mandler- Collin Tilley directed video as much as the next person.

Keshia is among one of 54 recipients of the award. Congrats to Keshia & Tanjola! Can't wait to see the video treatment!

CONFIRMED: KC TAPS VICPARK FOR NEW SINGLE "I MISS U"

Hey #KCRyders! By now you should already know the big news! If not read on! Three days after I posted my random thoughts on "I Miss U" being Keshia's next single, today she served to reiterate what we at LKC already knew. It's officially confirmed, "I Miss U" produced by VicPark is Keshia's 5th single (if you count "Edit, Cut, Delete U" as her 4th single) to be lifted from her third album "Night & Day". The first legitimate R&B single of Keshia's to be sent to radio since, 2006's classic anthems "Been Gone" & "2U" ("Test Drive" was a viral single so it doesn't count.). While a great song, there's just something about "If U Say" that trumps every other R&B song on this album... nevertheless I'm ecstatic that she's finally gotten a chance to release an R&B record this era!

The song itself is simply a pleasant ballad in which Keshia reassures that special someone that no matter where they are or what they're doing they don't have to doubt that she misses them, and vice versa. Clearly it's amazingly single worthy (having been pinned by both Keshia and VicPark's  Angelo "Levi" Themelkos (@levisingit), Dan Talevski (@dantalevski) & Murray Daigle, Anthony M Jones (@AnthonyM412)  and it'll be interesting to see how well they promote and market this single, as well as who Keshia taps for the video concept.

You can purchase Keshia's new single "I Miss U", as well as "Night & Day" from which the new single is lifted worldwide at these online retailers (Itunes.com Itunes.ca Amazon.com, Amazon.ca and MapleMusic.com ) , or in stores (Canada Only).

RANDOM: "I MISS U" NEXT SINGLE?

Hey #Ryders! This has NOT been confirmed. This is simply a post about me and my suspicions and research via twitter and other social media outlets. Over the past couple days, namely on last week I saw word of Keshia's song "I Miss U", #10 on Night & Day and also produced by Vic Park announced by radio station 97.3The Wave. Then on today, mysteriously the instrumental leaks to twitter...

Here is why I think Keshia and her label, as well as radio should go with "If U Say" vs "I Miss U"

• Initially "If U Say" was supposed to be the fourth single after "Set U Free", which totally screwed up the marketing plan when it was scrapped last fall for yet another dance single, "Shooting Star"
• Keshia's been on several "Night & Day" promo stops performing "If U Say" already (UniCommunity Tour, Breakfast TV, Canada AM) and thus her fan base in general will receive it and request it because it's been noted internet-wide as a "fan favorite". 

The most logical move in the era would be for KC to release "If U Say" vs "I Miss U" as a single, while a nice, song and single worthy, right now to me wouldn't be the best time to release it.

"If U Say" has already gotten an establish buzz via Singersroom.com with a exceptional feedback on every blog and or website it's been posted on. Why not go with the flow of the fans and what the general public is showing you?

Tack on "Hang My Jersey Up" as the B-Side to that single and she'll be a shoe in for MMVA's this year and Junos 2013, if they come through with a logical and sensible video treatment. Tweet what you think @luvkcfansite we wanna hear from you!
