Chanté takes us back to being discovered at just 18 and signed by legendary exec Benny Medina—only to be dropped before her debut ever hit shelves. She reflects on what that early heartbreak taught her, and how it shaped the artist she would become. We dive into her run on R&B Divas, the behind-the-scenes pressures of reality TV, and her near miss at joining the LaFace Records roster under Babyface and L.A. Reid. But in a full-circle moment, Chanté shares the exciting news that she's finally collaborating with Babyface on an upcoming record. Fans will also be fascinated to hear how her voice inspired the iconic opening synthesizer keys intro to SWV's “Weak,” and what it was like teaming up with R. Kelly for the classic duet “Contagious.” It's a candid, empowering, and musical ride through the highs, the lows, and the anointed voice that keeps rising above it all.   We Sound Crazy is your backstage pass to all things music and culture.

Blige Strength of a Woman Tour" with special guest Mario, highlighting the amazing experience and the powerful moment of performing "You Should Let Me Love You" with Mario for the first time.  Ne-Yo delves into his early career, including his challenging experience with Columbia Records and the creative freedom he found at Def Jam under L.A. Reid, which shaped his debut album.   He discusses the evolution of R&B, the importance of male vulnerability in songwriting, and how it is a subject matter he still wishes to explore in his music. He and Chuck Harmony recount the serendipitous story of their first collaboration, which sparked Harmony's career and led to Ne-Yo writing hits for Céline Dion, Mary J. Blige, and Janet Jackson in a single night!  Ne-Yo also shares the creation process behind his own hits like "So Sick" and "Closer," revealing how L.A. Reid strategically planned the release of "Stay" before "So Sick" as a "jab before the knockout punch."  He recounts the surprising origin of Beyoncé's "Flaws and All," initially intended for Britney Spears, and how Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" album also came from songs originally written for Britney.  Ne-Yo shares his desire to collaborate with Stevie Wonder, who, along with Michael Jackson, influenced his acceptance of his own voice.  He also tells the wild story of his group Envy's disastrous performance on Showtime at the Apollo.  Finally, Ne-Yo addresses his personal life, discussing his decision to be open about his polyamorous relationships and offering candid advice on honesty and living authentically.  This is one for the books!
