Chanté Moore - Love's Taken Over (12" Version) (1992)


From the 1992 album Precious, an album I urge any true Soul/Rn'B fan to get. The song is one of Moore's biggest R&B hits to date, peaking at number thirteen on the Billboard R&B chart and spent thirty-three weeks on the Billboard chart.
The album was released by MCA Records on September 29, 1992 in the US, and featured production from Simon Law, Bebe Winans, George Duke, among others. It spawned four singles; as well as Love's Taken Over and Top 40 hits It's Alright, Who Do I Turn To and As If We Never Met. The album peaked at number one hundred and one on the Billboard 200 chart on March 20, 1993 and was certified gold by the RIAA on November 14, 1994.
After three more albums with Silas/MCA (A Love Supreme, This Moment Is Mine and Exposed) she did a further two with with her then-husband Kenny Lattimore; Things That Lovers Do on the Arista label and Uncovered/Covered for LaFace records.
She still continues to put out great content; 2008's Love The Woman, is a sultry piece of modern soul, and her latest album to date, Moore Is More, is a real grower.
But as great as her career has been thus far, I personally think that Love's Taken Over is still the tune that defines Chanté Moore as a singer.
