Congrats go out to our Princess Ms. Keshia Chantè, Tanjola & Universal Music Canada on her two Juno Award (2011) Nominations! Best R&B Recording Of The Year -Test Drive and Best Dance Recording of The Year - Table Dancer! 2011 is off to a great start for our Canadian Princess don'tcha think? We'll be adding photos & and extras of today's Juno Award Press conference later on today!
Keshia tweeted on last night that today was a huge day for her. Not only will she be shooting more promotional shots, but she will also be shooting the album cover on today! She also gave us insight on the shoot itself saying that photographers Rayan Studios will be shooting the cover and fashion designer Rita Liefhebber will be spearheading the looks for her. Though I've never heard of either, it sounds like an interesting combo. Anticipation for the shoot's outcome is extremely great, and I know all of us here at LKC are wondering just what Keshia has up her sleeve for this shoot. From the sound of things she's going for a high-fashion/couture look. One thing is for certain, Keshia definitely has to nail it with this photo shoot and show her personality just like she did in her photoshoot for Urbanology & Hello magazine a few years back. It'd be great to see her smiling and happy and simply carefree.
According to American's Music Charts for last weeks Canadian Top 40, for the week of 1-11-11, Keshia Chante's 'Table Dancer' came in at #22 with 358 radio spins and is steadily climbing! Great news! Congrats to KC and for you as KC fans! We at LKC can't stress this enough though, KEEP requesting 'Table Dancer'! The more you request it the sooner we'll get to hear songs like, "If You Say" & "Jersey Up" on the radio! We want KC's return to the US to be massive on the charts!
According to KC manager Jen, she tweeted to us via twitter that Table Dancer & Test Drive will go for US-Itunes adds on either the 1st or 2nd week in Febuary. She also tweeted that the album is going through final revisions. Keshia recently tweeted about prepping to shoot her album cover shoot as well. A lot of good things are on the horizion this year for Keshia so keep it locked!

Amidst all the hustle and bustle on yesterday, being World Aids Day, Canadian Pop Princess Keshia Chante Ustreamed with her fans! The Ustream was a great opportunity for her fans to get in questions and in spite of the technical difficulties (Lol!) fans were able chat it up with KC; and what a time we had! She spoke about her role as the official Youth Ambassador of CANFAR, World Aids Day, her upcoming album Night & Day which will be released in next Spring/Summer 2011, answered several fan questions, sang a bit of 'Table Dancer' accapella, as well as played one of her favorite songs off her forthcoming album entitled, "If You Say" produced by the amazing duo VicPark ("Test Drive", "Jersey Up"). Keshia is coming into her own with her partnership with VicPark production wise. They embody what Keshia's 'signature sound' really is and allow her to remain true to her artistry. If given the chance to flourish with the right promotional steps, there is no doubt that Keshia's new album Night & Day will be a smash! Don't fret US fans, Table Dancer & Test Drive are coming to the US. It's all about timing and it takes a lot of behind the scenes magic to make things happen. But until then, you can enjoy both songs in our sidebar via "KC's Playlist". The entire Ustream Broadcast will be uploaded via our official Facebook page in it's entire to on tomorrow. For now, listen to the incredible ballad 'If You Say' Produced by VicPark below.

Introducing the world premiere of Keshia Chante's new music video, 'Table Dancer'! The highly anticipated music video premiere official via her facebook, and Vevo page only hours ago; a day earlier than originally anticipated. You can check out all the table dancin' action and KC's alter-ego "Chante", deliver up an interesting twist on the club number as she dons several styled blond wigs, and whips her hair on a table at downtown Toronto's Ultra Supper Club amongst a sea of bow-tied & black clad dancers. See how many Pepsi-related items you can spot in the video! If you didn't know, Keshia is the new spokesperson for Pepsi Canada. A major step up from her viral music video, 'Test Drive' the comfort-zone that Keshia previous set for her previous two albums was definitely broken; and in a good way. Although the video isn't groundbreaking, it's the best video that Keshia has done career wise, curious as to why she's not really smiling but other wise, a solid effort. Peep the video below.
Get ready to start Table Dancin! The official video for 'Table Dancer' will now premiere on Thanksgiving Day (US), November 25th. For now you can enjoy a :35 sec preview of Keshia 'whippin' her hair' in the highly anticipated new music video for her first single off her upcoming album 'Night & Day'!

She was interviewed by CityLifeTV at the Angela Chen' 'OR' fashion show of which she was wearing a piece from the collection. You can check out her interview below, her views on Canadian fashion, and how she pushes the American collaborators she works with to use Canadian fashion in her videos. She also speaks on her new single, saying that, an item that she'd spotted inspired her to write the song 'Table Dancer' for her upcoming album Night & Day. 'Table Dancer' has a set release date, and premiere, we just don't know as to what that is just yet. Hopefully we will soon, and when we do, you all will be the first to know. Until then, we play the waiting game, so enjoy the interview below and thanks to Albert for the tip!
That's the question on every #KCRyders mind right now. The highly anticipated video is supposed to drop, sometime today (eight days prior to their preview on last week). At least, that was the projected date then. Here's hoping that we see it really soon, or a preview or something of that nature.
Throughout today, supporters of KC's new video Table Dancer have been tweeting photos of KC on set and of the set. We already showed you where the video is being shot, Ultra Supper Club. And if you want to see more, then just click on the name to view the interior. Several members of KC's team and industry friends have tweeted photos. Even RT himself, the director of the video! You can check out five LQ photos on set. Hint: Can you spot KC with the blond ponytail? :-)
Table Dancer's video will now be shot on Saturday, Oct 23rd! Sounds like the magical dream place for the shoot has been secured and we can't wait to see the final outcome! As you know, tomorrow starts a crazy hectic week in the world of Toronto Fashion where the LG Fashion Week will kick off (Oct 18th-22nd). We know for certain that KC will be in attendance at at least two of the shows this week. She will also be a part of the Dare To Wear Love fashion show on this friday October 22nd. Chante Season has only just begun so please be patient! I-Tunes will have Table Dancer & Test Drive available in the following weeks for purchase outside of Canada in the upcoming weeks. We will be sure and keep you up-to-date with all LG Fashion Week coverage involving our Princess this week so keep it locked!

KC Attends Bell Celebrity Gala + Toronto's Pre- LG Fashion Week (S/S `11)
KC has been on the move this week attending various fashion shows after the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday over the weekend. On Tuesday, KC attended fashion designer, Evan Biddell's Spring/Summer `11 show. Below is a photo of KC with Evan Biddell via friend (@katia_aitak). Last night, she attended the Bell Celebrity Gala, and based off her tweets she had a great time. Keshia will also be attending Greta Constantine's Spring/Summer `11 show tonight.
Misc
E Talk Interview (FULL)
I know that you all might have questions as to when the interview with ETalk will air and the projected date that we'd been given was October 4th. As of this moment we don't know when it will air, but should it air, we shall post it for your viewing pleasure if we can, for those of you outside of Canada. Our assumption is that the interview will hopefully air this month.
Premiere Dates for 'Table Dancer' + 'Test Drive' Videos
Unless it comes from a vaild source that we're able to trust we usually do not post information on a whim. However, it's been made known to us that the projected release date for the 'Test Drive' video will be next week on Tuesday October 19th.
Aaliyah Movie
Only bringing this up because there has been a lot of hearsay on twitter. Now if you recall on the Ustream that we taped from about 6 months + ago. KC clearly stated that:
1) She had been asked to play Aaliyah
2) The timing was not right, therefore you can believe that AS OF NOW THERE IS NO MOVIE.
3) The only certification of said movie will be if we post news on LKC exclusively or if KC tweets it via twitter herself, until then. Nothing that's being said else-wise is fact. Don't believe us? Watch for yourself.
In wake of hearing the new music from KC, here is your chance to read the amazing heartfelt lyrics of Test Drive and the soulful jam Table Dancer, brought to you EXCLUSIVELY by LuvKChante! It is highly likely that both singles will premiere for your listening pleasure on KC's official website, KeshiaChante.Com later on tomorrow (Oct 6th). These are 100% official lyric sent to us via KC's Team both tracks written by KC herself! Enjoy!

Thank you DJ, for playing my song

Better clear those tables, cause they 'bout to be filled with models
