#EXCLUSIVE: KESHIA CHANTE'S "THE VALLEY" DUE 11/11

Evening #KCRyders! We've got some exciting news to share. After what seems like forever and a day, the silence will be broken from our girl, Keshia on Friday November 11, 2016. "The Valley", her newly anticipated single (after her four-year hiatus from the music scene) is set to drop 11/11. The project itself is helmed as Keshia's FIRST worldwide release to her fan base under her independent imprint KChanteInc. set to drop later this year. Releasing right on the heels of the fifth anniversary of her last solo effort, "Night & Day", "The Valley" a ballad penned with Elle Vee, will showcase a "more mature" Chante. And if that doesn't spark your intrigue, with this single comes brand new look that showcases an edgier, confident, and subtly sensual woman that's asserting her womanhood and has finally come into her own.

You'll have to wait a few days to hear the "dawning of a new era"... but is clear that "Chante Season" has returned!
