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.

NEW PICS: KC PERFORMS @ RENEW THE WORLD GALA

Well, we're almost there. Now if we could just get footage of the performance that'd be great! Until then enjoy these new photos of KC performing with the rest of the star-studded attending musicians and the  Mississauga Youth Choir . The Grand Finale song of choice was "Heal The World" by Michael Jackson, and it would definitely be nice to hear their rendition of the timeless classic. Enjoy!

TWITPICS: KC ATTENDS RENEW THE WORLD GALA

Good Morning #KCRyders! No professional photos of KC from Renew The World Gala have surfaced, (probably because it was a private event) but you can check out two photos of KC at the event, one via KC herself and another from Salem Mossallam owner of (@REmixClothingCo) in Toronto, Canada which specializes in vintage name brand attire for the stars. Keshia both attended and performed at last nights Gala (although no word on what she performed). And you can view a photo of KC above at her table and one below of KC with Salem Mossallam the owner of REmix Clothing Co, before she attended last nights event.

Whitney...my God.. I'm frozen - KC's tweet in regards to her passing

“We wouldn’t have Christina Aguilera without Whitney; Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Adele, they all form a line directly behind what Whitney did,” says Chanté, adding that she hopes other musicians of her generation will learn from what happened to Jackson, Winehouse and now Houston, too. “I try and tell this new generation to stay away from the tabloid stuff, stay away from the negative side of this industry — try not to be another one gone too soon.” - Keshia on Whitney Houston & her contributions to music
