I AM SURE THAT I HAVE STATED SEVERAL TIMES MY CONFUSION OVER THE LACK OF MAINSTREAM SUCCESS MISS CHANTE MOORE HAS HAD. SHE IS BY FAR ONE THE MOST TALENTED VOCALIST OF THIS GENERATION, HOWEVER THAT AND HE STUNNING LOOKS SOMEHOW NEVER CAUGHT ON. MY THEORY, MUCH LIKE MY THEORY FOR TAMIA, IS THAT THEY WERE BOTH CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF GENERATIONS; TOO YOUNG FOR OLD FOLKS AND TOO GROWN FOR THE YOUNGINS. THIS SONG, RELEASED IN 1992, THIS SONG GOT ME THROUGH MY FIRST HEARTBREAK. I'D PLAY IT OVER AND OVER AND SING IT LIKE A MANTRA "IT'S ALRIGHT. IT'S ALRIGHT."
Great song. A friend of mine put this on a mixtape for me back in the day. I didn't know who it was at the time but I'd sing it all the time. Such a good song. I still love "Bitter". I agree about your theory though. She came out like an Adult Contemporary artist and I think just caught up in the middle of it all. Such a shame.
