ALL I CAN DO - CHANTAL KREVIAZUK
While one-time Columbia Records singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk grazed top 40 as an artist earlier this decade, she has gained greatest acclaim in the United States as a hitmaker for Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani. Latest release “Ghost Stories” gives it another go in her own right, packed with vocal passion, smart lyrics and piano-driven melodic masterpieces. Keane-like first single “All I Can Do,” which she wrote and produced with husband Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace), easily outbids much of the junk reaching the upper reaches of the U.S. charts, with its soaring sing-along chorus, orchestrated production and message of unconditional love. For fans of Olympic-quality musical prose, Kreviazuk is a gift worth searching out. Billboard
