Keshia Chante's Ode to the late great Aaliyah & 90's R&B

Keshia Chante'
"I recently had the pleasure of working with the incredible Matt Barnes whose work I have been admiring for quite some time. I’ve been wanting to do a photo shoot like this forever &; I am so thrilled to see Matt take things to the next level. His work always feels like your inside of a movie &; I truly felt like a character in his film. My heart will forever be in love with old school R&B, especially the 90′s &; of course the late great Aaliyah &; I feel this shoot was an ode to that! We mixed some Liy, TLC, Brandy, Slick Rick, etc in this shoot &; it makes my heart flutter. Peep the old school phone, gold rope chains, pager, timbs, etc,. BIG thank you to the team: Matt Barnes, Tara, Janet Jackson of Jou Jou (hair), Dee Daly (makeup), Caitlin Wright (wardrobe stylist), Jennifer Hyland &; all the interns at Westside who helped make it special!!! I hope my KCRyders will love this. I’ve never felt more comfortable then this…"

"Canadian cultural mainstay Keshia Chanté was in front of Matt’s camera recently, so the two could give a nod to Aaliyah & throwback R&B, for a personal creative. An accomplished artist, whose life has been spot-lit since her early teens, Keshia is a Juno Award winner and chart topper, who has made the occasional foray into acting. The shoot, paying tribute to the singers that helped to influence Keshia’s career, was helped aesthetically along by makeup artist Dee Daly, hairstylist Janet Jackson, and wardrobe stylist Caitlin Wright. Ride the jump for the entire series." 

She looks so stunning in these photos! Props to Matt, Dee and everyone who put this together! What an amazing job you all did! Full photo credit goes to Matt Barnes, these are not my photos! Article credits: Keshia Chante' & Matt Barnes.
