Chantal Kreviazuk - Ghost Stories

Another husband-and-wife pairing, Ghost Stories is Kreviazuk’s fourth CD and her first produced entirely by hubby and Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida. Recorded in the couple’s Malibu home studio, the album provides an intimate showcase for Kreviazuk’s emotional brand of piano pop. Although the addition of lush strings on the title track and “Waiting for the Sun” seems like an unnecessary burden, songs like the rhythmic “Spoke in Tongues” and the gospel-like “So Cold” are stark reminders of her confessional talent.
