Chante Moore
Exposed

By Steven Fullwood

In a myriad of ways, the title of Chante Moore’s new album, Exposed, says it all. Expose yourself, Chante. Strip down, show some skin; let your hair down. Strip your unique, mature style down to a bland carbon copy of every other charting female singer. Expose your hunger for a hit record. Strip the music down to beats; allow the album’s producers and songwriters to drape you in forgettable melodies and corny hooks better suited for youngsters still discovering their bodies. All said, this material is so beneath Moore, it’s in Valhalla.

Too bad nobody thought to bury this project before it hit music stores. Exposed is a total misrepresentation and misuse of Chante’s exquisite voice from the first single, “Straight Up,” through to its abysmal end. Co-executive producer Jermaine Dupri shares part of the blame, along with other “Give-me-money-I’ll-produce-anybody” culprits like Jamey Jaz and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. But the main fault falls square in the lap of Moore, who co-pens seven of the twelve lousy tracks.

Exposed fails to impart the stamp of identity Moore established with her first two excellent albums, Precious and A Love Supreme. The album ranges from silly (“I’m Keeping You,” “Take Care of Me”) to boring (“When It Comes to Me”) to straight up embarrassing (“Bitter”) and coalesces into a musical mess.

However, Moore’s voice never falters; full, delicate and sweet, filled with expressive range and melodic flow. If anything positive can be said about Exposed, that’s it. Purchase it at your peril.
