Chantal Kreviazuk checked in with fans on her official web site as she prepares to release her new album ‘Ghost Stories’. “Hey Everyone,” she writes. “Sorry it has been a while. I am of course up to my ears with music. That was my best bad joke ever. Anyway, I am preparing for the release of ‘Ghost Stories’! I did my first few interviews this past week, and man, I had forgotten how therapeutic that is! (If the journalist asks good questions!). I am working on the prep for a video for ‘All I Can Do’. I think it will be nice - a sort of city landscape, performance piece. What the heck am I gonna wear? We are all strategizing potential dates around Canada surrounding the release of the album, so there maybe some cool new announcements soon, so stay tuned.” Read more, and watch footage of Chantal in the studio, at ChantalKreviazuk.com.

Chantal Kreviazuk is a Canadian born singer songwriter whose “organic” style of music has Extra wondering what it all means. She tells Extra, “I think my style, or what I’m trying to perfect, is something very natural.”

While Chantal Kreviazuk’s stateside success is a goal, the Canadian singer waves off too much discussion of business. “When you have personal success and goals that have nothing to do with public validation or financial security, you’re a far greater asset to yourself,” she told Billboard.com. “Everybody loving you is a fleeting moment. I’m so lucky to have a phenomenal husband and partner.” He is Raine Maida, frontman for Our Lady Peace, with whom she wrote five songs on the album. Her third album for Columbia, ‘What If It All Means Something’, was released April 22nd in the U.S.
