Day 3: Chantal Kreviazuk

I think it’s important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There’s no code, there’s no craft… it’s just let yourself shine through your music. If it’s meant to be loved and heard, it’ll happen.

It’s the third day of our fabulous Canadian musicians week and I hope you’re enjoying the music we’ve posted so far.

Today I’m featuring an artist who’s a good friend and have worked closely with Avril Lavigne, whom we featured yesterday. Her name is Chantal Kreviazuk, a Canadian singer-songwriter of rock and pop music.

Perhaps what I like most about Chantal are her two songs which I’ve played countlessly for as long as I can remember: Feels Like Home and Leaving on a Jet Plane. That’s why I was keen on checking out her newest album that came out in August last year, called Ghost Stories. The album, produced entirely by Kreviazuk’s husband at home, does not have a single guitar on any of the tracks. But then again, who needs a guitar with such beautiful piano score!

Speaking of piano, I think you’re going to love today’s featured song: All I Can Do. The piano riff in this standout song emerges first and provides a foundation for an utterly captivating melody. With great lyrics that she delivers with greater emotions, it’s no surprise that this song was chosen to be the lead single for the album, and received mass radio playback that put Chantal back on the map after her 4 years of absence.
