Why is every Chante Moore song so much better than Way U?? She did not represent herself to her fullest on the 90s Diva Showcase Album.

But whatever Chante's got a man has fucking horrible politics but it is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Plus she gets hers at the end!

Chante Moore's music is always so WEIRD. A "Flying High in the Friendly Skies" quote in the middle of an "ain't love grand" song? Yes pls.

Even her "man done me wrong" song is about how SHE'S "bitter"??? Chante Moore is wild, man.

In some ways, she's a logical extension of Whitney-ism. Only instead of the coo and the belt being part of a continuum in every interaction

Chante is all gentleness and femininity and coo... and she puts all the savagery and power into the lyric. (Part of why Wey U is so bad)

But Chante's vocal embodiment of church-lady side-eye is a natural evolution of Whitney's "racial androgyny" (soft enough for a white woman

Strong enough for a black). But where Whitney was at the time a liberatory (if limited) potentiality for black women...

Chante is gloriously regressive. She's Lynn Whitfield in every movie before she goes crazy. Not a hair out of place. Nice nasty.

But as far as matching vocal technique to a "character" or vocal personality, she is actually one of the greats.

Oh my god. The pre-chorus in "bitter." Epitome of nice nasty. God level. Chante is one of the best to ever do it.

And when she tries to be uplifting and positive and celebratory she is like a sleepy knockoff of Toni Braxton's upper register.

And when she is a polite, coy RUDE AF MOTHERFUCKER she is revolutionary.

The best part is, she is always in on the joke. The laugh at the end of bitter. The girl's voice on the line in Chante's Got A Man.

Chante Moore distilled the essence of uppity deaconess auntie into a small collection of some of the best 90s-style R&B in existence.

But then, you shoulda known from the accent mark in her name. Uppity deaconess auntie is clearly in her blood.

Chante Moore and then-husband Kenny Lattimore covered LTO's Love Song, and they added an old school musical comedy verse.

God loves me and you can't tell me no different.
