INTERVIEW: Virgin Radio 96

Hey KC Fans! I hope that you all are having a good Saturday morning and we have something special for Ryders outside Montreal. As you can see, our girl has been ripping and running with interviews from left to right all day yesterday leading up to her performance at La Mouche. She was interviewed by Cousin Vinny (@CousinVinnyMTL) and talked about Montreal, Night & Day's release, the hiatus, Set U Free and the 4 a.m. tweet, lol. Keshia also discussed the Aaliyah movie project for a bit and talked about how Aaliyah's family and people that knew her are still coping with the passing but like she said in the first Ustream "When the time is right." she will be apart of it. Vinny also put KC's French-speaking skills to the test and she excelled plus because she loves Montreal she is working on a French version of her new single "Set U Free". Peep everything that KC said below in the link! http://montreal.virginradio.ca/blog/CousinVinny/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10227486

RANDOM: Keep It Classy Ladies! Aaliyah & KC

Keshia is one classy lady. And so was Aaliyah. So in retrospect, Aaliyah who carried herself with dignity and class has had more of a legacy since her passing. It is safe to say that "Slow & Steady" wins the race. Just ask the Tortoise & the Hare... Keshia's setting up her career power moves, playing her cards close to her chest. Don't under estimate her staying power just because she isn't all over the media and such right now. The bigger power moves are made behind the scenes. Remember that. Absolutely love both of these photos!#WINNING

NEWS: KC mentioned on BET.COM "10 Things We Want To See In Film `11"

 Submitted by Albert (@koolkidincash93)

Today, Keshia was mentioned on BET.com's list of  "Ten Things We Want To See In Film in 2011". This should come as no surprise because this has been something fans worldwide have been anticipating since this rumor was sparked almost four years ago. This has probably been the most tweeted question to Keshia and to us here at LKC. And as we've always said, Keshia can't speak on it. Keshia herself has even said so. Filming on said 'Aaliyah Movie' is currently categorized as being 'on hold' which means, the Aaliyah Movie has NOT been film yet.  And here it is Keshia is mentioned yet again. Hopefully next time BET gets her name right! Lol According to the Haughton family, Rashad stated publicly during twitter several months ago, that he wasn't interested in an Aaliyah movie. No word as to what Aaliyah's parents think on this matter though. Keshia stated, "When the time is right, it'll be right. And right now the time is not right but when it is, I'll be for it 100%."

10. The Aaliyah Movie
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Aaliyah’s passing. So, where is the Aaliyah movie? Last we heard, the director of Dreamgirls, Bill Condon, was set to direct and Canadian actress Keisha Chante would play Aaliyah. Hopefully, we at least get a release date in 2011.

Peep our video from her first Ustream back in April of 2010 as she speaks on the Aaliyah Movie rumor below.

Part 2 'Different As Night & Day'

Keshia speaks with LKC about her
3rd Album Night & Day & she also
clears up the Aaliyah Movie rumors.

As Told To LKC
November 4th, 2010

What is the overall theme for this album?
KC: With a double album, both sides are very different. On the 'Night' side, you will get songs like "Table Dancer", uptempo, dance, pop, club-driven, and on the 'Day' side, you will get songs like "Test Drive" which will be soul, R&B & acoustic.

Approx. how many songs did you record this time around and was it difficult to narrow them down? - Jay
KC: Hey Jay! The writing process hasn't ended yet. I'm constantly thinking of new ideas & song concepts and I really want to make as many songs as possible before the deadline. I really want to give my fans the absolute best of me, which is why I decided to make the new album a double album. So far I have written & recorded 60 songs. Narrowing it down is always difficult and this time around wont be any different! :)

Who were all of the producers and or artists collaborations that you've worked with on 'Night And Day'?
KC: I traveled a whole lot, working with Ne-Yo & his camp, Outsyders (Britney Spears "Womanizer"), Makeba Riddick & more wonderful songwriters & producers, but I still didn't feel like I found my own "sound". I realized I needed to dive deep into myself & step my songwriting game up. I came back home to Toronto and decided that I wanted to just write in a "jam session", all vibe, no pressure environment. I got into the studio with Vic Park and had a great time! We have crazy musical chemistry & I was able to find "my" sound. For the rest of the album, I did just that. Working with musicians and creating what I wanted as oppose to adding to music that already exists. The entire album process has been very organic.

What are your favorite songs from 'Night And Day' and how different are they from your last offering, '2U'?
KC: I loved 2U. It was fun & heavy and totally where I was at 18 years old. Those songs were solid & I'm proud of that album. I feel like the 'Night' side of my new album is reminiscent of 2U but with more growth, with songs like "Jersey Up". The other side, is where the depth is. It's mature & honest. Not one song on 'Day' doesn't come from a real experience. I think 'Day' will be where fans really get to know me. Literally every song on the album is a favorite (I mean.. literally! lol) but the one's I'm super excited to share are: 

 
"If U Say".. this song really resonates. The first portion of this song I wrote & recorded it on the spot. A complete freestyle & it was just super real. Cracks in my voice and all, just raw. ("If you say you love me, than just make it right"). It's about being disappointed in a relationship, a lot of empty promises & something every girl has been through. ("Yesterday you promised me Tomorrow")

"Pillow Talk"
This song's about how guys have a hard time opening up and keep everything inside and to themselves. In this case, it's late at night when hes done battling the pressures of the world that he opens up and shares his feelings. ("Sometimes you walk around feeling defeated. Tell me all your fears, ill keep it a secret")

"Gamble On Love"
This song is super witty. It's a concept song on love being the gamble using casino lingo throughout the song. This one has a dope little bounce to it. ("If you roll the dice, I'll be your 7. Stack your chips on black 11.")

There's many more, but I like surprises ! :)

What did you take from working on this album?
KC: I learned a lot about myself writing this album. I can be sassy & strong but I also have a super vulnerable side & for the first time, I'm not shy on sharing it. You will hear me talking about things on this album that I don't think I would ever say in an interview. This album is my diary, only open to my fans.

Check out what KC has to say about the 'Aaliyah Movie' rumors after the cut.
