Amazon.com Like every R&B diva worth her salt, Chante Moore must have listened to those 22nd-century girls Destiny's Child while writing Exposed. Released in the latter half of 2000, Moore's fourth album has the ubiquitous stuttering rhythms, silky smooth vocals, and contemporary hip-hop soul grooves that are synonymous with She'kspere's protégés. This effort assures that she's back on the scene with some fresh and interesting material, a guest spot from Chi-town rapper Da Brat, and surprisingly subtle production from Jermaine Dupri. The common theme running through the tracks is the ever-popular one of relationships. Highlights include "Straight Up," the brilliantly catchy uptempo groove of "Everything We Want," and "Take Care of Me," featuring the aforementioned Da Brat. Moore professes to want to be all things to all people, but she lets herself down on the type of songs she was previously known for: saccharine-sweet lovers' soul. So where she excels as an urban bawl-out screamer, on this set, the ballads like "Bitter" and "Love's Still Alright" don't work so well. The sound is too commercial and overblown--almost as if she has an eye on others' (Mariah Carey's, perhaps?) chart success. Exposed isn't revolutionary by any means, but it does have some good moments. --Na'solo So'Fahed Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsFrom "Chante's Got a Man at Home" to "Bitter" ("Nigga") Edward C Wilson II | 11/28/2000 (1 out of 5 stars) "What on earth possessed Chante' to record the song, "Bitter" and to refer to Black men as "niggas?"She is setting a poor example for young women and is no longer a role model. Not all Black people use this word and it's just so shocking to hear her sing it. It really takes away from her physical and lyrical beauty.The rest of the songs are overly commercial and just plan silly.It's obvious that she's a 33 year old woman, who looks 23 but acts like she's 16 with juvenile lyrics and her stupid gym video! She should stop trying to compete with Christina Aguilara and Britney Spears. She's a mother and supposedly a "lady" whose supposed to have class, dignity and self respect yet she has let producers/artists like Jermaine Dupri and DaBrat record with her and this "cheapens" her image.This album belongs in the trash can and will not stand the test of time. Teenagers are fickle and will not be singing songs from this cd even 3 months from now!" Expose yourself to this CD. Its Good. 11/17/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Chante Moore's new CD Exposed is a very fine cd. The cd will hit listeners from a different angle than she normally comes from. Most people love Chante for her jazzier songs. Granted, she is superb in that area. On this cd Chante flips it and gives us not only uptempo music, but the material is quite edgy. I find myself bobbing my head and dancing to practically everything on the cd. There are a couple of tracks that could be considered filler, but nonetheless can be considered mainstream radio tracks. A number of tracks have strong rhythm. There are some ballads, but again they are edgier than Chante has ever co-wrote and sung. Surprisingly the harder beats don't drown her. It's very clear in listening to the cd who is in charge of the song. She sings over top of the melodies with ease. Stand out tracks are "Take care of me", "Bitter", "When it comes to me", "Train of Thought", "Better than making love", "Man", "Love's still alright". In each of these songs I hear lots of rhythm and variety of music. The spanish influence is definately there as well as the bosa nova sound on a number of songs. There is a song "Man" that will remind you of her contribution to Waiting to Exhale, and a ballad that actually speeds up and slows down. Simply put, the cd is definately good. The last cd seems to be a precursor to her latest, and the lyrics are real. If you are a Chante fan you may be disappointed because of the different format of music, then again, if you are like me you'll find that you don't miss the old format. Its Chante period." What Happened Baby Girl?:-( Edward C Wilson II | Tallahassee, Florida USA | 11/15/2000 (2 out of 5 stars) "This album doesn't seem to fit the Chante I remember hearing when she sang "Love Me Tonight" with El DeBarge and classics "As if We Never Met" and "Your Love's Supreme". I sure wish Chante would re-discover that old-school-luvin' sound that made her one of the smoothest-sounding sistas in this ever-so predictable world of R&B. I understand that with time comes changes but Chante you sound as if you sacrificed your monumental voice for spark-in-the-pan "commercial sound"."
