Chantal's best by far.......2006-10-27

This is Chantal's best studio effort by far.

Filled with excellently-written songs, Chantal's 3rd studio album is by far the most catchy and the one that sticks to your head and makes you want to listen to her again and again.

Her first two singles from this album, 'In This Life' and 'Time' are mellow, gentle yet bearing a strong tune, giving her a sense of identity and shows off her lyric writing skills. 'In This Life' especially sticks to your head.

The rest of the album follows up with more catchy music, with 'Weight of the World' being high energy and bouncy, but stretches her voice a little over the top. 'Julia' and the title track 'What If It All Means Something' are equally catchy and good.

This album is extremely well-produced, and it is wonderful.

The best CD that has made Chantal.......2006-01-30

It's a very good CD. It's a alternative a to Avril lavigne. It's not a copy. Chantal has his own style before Avril.

Fabulous Album.......2005-08-09

Chantal Kreviazuk's music finds a way into both your heart and your mind. After hearing her songs in a movie I was bound and determined to own her albums.

WOW.......2005-03-13

when i bought this cd today,i knew it would be good for i had recognized track s1 2 and 4 as songs i had loved,and i had read the other reviews for it.but i had no clue....its amazing,simply amazing.i could listen to it over and over and over and not be tired of it.all of the songs are excellent and i highly recommend u to buy this cd.

Love Chantal! This was a little dissapointing..........2005-03-07

I thought I was so awesome when my canadian relatives sent me Chantal's "Colour Moving and Still" 5 or so years ago, cause not many people knew her. Colour Moving and Still had some great tracks, so I went out and bought Under These Rocks and Stones, which was even better.

So I was delighted when Chantal hit American 2 or 3 years ago with her third album What if it all Means Something.
Unfortunately, I didn't think it lived up to her first 2 previous releases...

"In This Life" "Time" "What if it all Means Something" and "Julia" were easily likable, but they seemed alot more maintstream than her hits of C, M & S and UTRaS.

I was able to find 2 that I really liked- "Brenda's Song" and "Waiting" but it was the others that really dissapointed me.
"Morning Light" "Ready for your love" and "Weight of the World" weren't just mediocre in tune but in subject matter. They lack the emotion that Chantal put into songs like "Hands" "Souls" "Little Things" ect.

Could be worse, but for gread Chantal pick up the other 2 CDs.

Great PROMO Single!.......2006-12-17

This was a great promo single that was given out at BORDERS. This cd has two amazing songs from the album "What if It All Means Something?". Both tracks are the album versions of these songs. While the songs themselves are great, the value for this single isn't. Unless you are a hardcore completist, Check out the full album for an addition 8 songs by chantal!

Meaningful.......2003-05-04

Chantal Kreviazuk finally released some new music in the fall of 2002 in Canada, and in April of 2003 in the US. The album is WHAT IF IT ALL MEANS SOMETHING, and if you didn't already know, the title suggests that she is a very introspective and deep thinker. The first single was "In This Life", a midtempo-almost-ballad that is inspiring, about being with someone during their life. The single was a mild hit, and a nice track to introduce the album with.

The second single is the best track from the album, a song titled "Time", which she co-wrote with her husband Raine Maida (from Our Lady Peace), who also helped co-write a few other tracks (such as "Waiting", "What If It All Means Something", "Turn The Page", and "Miss April"). "Time" is such a beautiful song with its piano and orchestral arrangement, and its beautiful lyrics about lost memories and cherishing our precious time on earth. Such beautiful lyrics in the track include "Time/Where did you go/Why did you leave me here alone/Wait/Don't go too fast/I'm missing the moments as they pass/Now I've looked in the mirror/And the world's getting clearer/So wait for me/This time" The video is also rather stunning, with Chantal in a house that is falling apart and aging. "Julia" is a unique song, written about Julia Roberts, and basically just about the scrutiny a celebrity goes under.

Another beautiful song is "Flying Home (Brenda's Song)", which also has beautiful lyrics. "It's hard to let you go/You've always let me in/And helped with all the endings/And you know where to begin/I need you here for me/Cuz you always know my heart/I can't believe we'd change/Or have to be apart/But if you've seen the love that's in her eyes/Then everything is good/And if you know the way she felt inside/She's flying where she should/I never believed we'd ever live to see/An angel being born/And flying home".

In comparison to her two previous albums, WHAT IF seems a lot more upbeat, but still personal. You feel like you know her through the lyrics. "Weight of the World" is an upbeat song that soars, and "Ready for Your Love" is an interesting pop song with a nice world vibe to it. If you're looking for the introspection of her first album, listen to the closer "Turn The Page". The title track has a nice melody and a great chorus that is memorable. "Morning Light" is a very relatable song. "Miss April" is an interesting song about someone who's star has faded.

If you bought the album in Canada then you might have bought the Limited Edition CD, which came with a slipfold, a booklet with rare photos, personally hand written lyrics and a special note from Chantal, as well it's an enhanced disc with pictures. The album might be more optomistic and less introspective than the past ones, and yes its more pop than her first two albums, but it's still a stunning album that fans will love.

Chantal Returns with her BEST CD yet!.......2003-03-18

I am so very bad with words and reviews but I am going to try my best in explaining how GREAT this cd is! I have been a big fan of Chantal's since her debut came out in 1997...I even was lucky enough to see her live at Lilith Fair and even pass her by as she walked around the various shops autographing things for fans. I was very nervous about this new album because I have been so extremely impressed by her previous two albums and I was hesitant that this wouldn't live up to my expectations but Chantal has truly created her most beautiful, emotianal, and personal album to date with this masterpeice. To me, the albums opener, IN THIS LIFE, is the most powerful and emotianally raw song on the album. The song has a very catchy and sing-a-long type melody that really seems to hook the listener in through Chantal's incredibly versatile vocal skills. TIME is also another amazing song. I also love the song JULIA-which is about none other than Superstar Julia Roberts. It's interesting to see what celebrities think of other celebrities and this is an interesting view on stardom from a musical star's own personal perspective. This cd also has a great montage video of a photo shoot Chantal had for the album booklet...and let me just say that Chantal is literally one of the most BEAUTIFUL women in the world! Pick this cd up RIGHT NOW!!

I wanted to love it but.....................2003-02-25

I have been waiting for her third CD hoping for great things. I really liked how raw and edgy the first CD was but I felt the second was even better. I return to that CD often. She really digs deep into her writing. She is softer and more vulnerable in Colors, Moving and Still. I was hoping she would come up with something special in the new CD but most of the songs really don't catch fire. There are a few good songs, like the title track, but otherwise the new one is NOT the CD that will put her on the map.

By the way, I am still recovering from a very wierd Grammy's show. Did Nora Jones really deserve 8 awards ???

Chantal means something.......2003-02-19

I've been saying for a few years that Chantal Kreviazuk is probably the most heard unknown Canadian artist, possibly in the world. With her appearance on the huge 1998 CD Armageddon and her singing the theme to NBCs Providence, as well as appearances on other TV shows and soundtracks, the odds that you have never heard Chantal's wonderful voice is pretty slim. So what does Chantal have to offer?
Well, her third CD has something for just about everyone. Whether you're new to her music or an old fan, this CD is for you. It's mainstream friendly enough to appeal to fans of Britney Spears and Celine Dion, emotional enough for fans of Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan and everyone in between.
The guys between Nelly Furtado's first CD produced the instantly catchy 'Ready For Your Love'.
Michelle Branch lends a voice to the perfect track 'Waiting', which I think has "hit" written all over it.
Chantal also experiments, for the first time, with guitar, which she plays on some of the tracks, and it's also the basis of two songs, 'In This Life' and 'Time'.
With amazing albums already behind her, Chantal is showing us that there's much more to her than just a piano, so pick up this CD and allow yourself to find that there really is meaning.

Canada's best kept secret: CHANTAL KREVIAZUK!.......2003-01-12

For those of you who are still unaware of this amazing talent, then STOP now and buy this CD! Prepare to be blown away; it doesn't get better than this. Right from the start, from the piano intro for In This Life, you will know that you are listening to something special. It's always been about the lyrics. Kreviazuk has a gift for writing about the most awkward moments in our relationships; sketching them into a simple verse and making it seem so easy. Lyrics to embrace. "You can run from me/ you can hide from me/ but I am right beside you/ in this life". Her beautiful voice soars similar to Sarah Mclachlan, shakes with emotion and soothes. There are others: Jann Arden, Fiona, Tori, Jewel, but you can't say that she's like anybody else; Chantal is unique and her music is much more. As with M, from her last CD Colour Moving And Still, the most beautiful moment is her tribute to a lost child, Flying Home (Brenda's song). "And if you've seen the love that's in her eyes/ then everything is good/ And if you know the way she felt inside/ She's flying where she should." Kreviazuk manages to express a variety of emotions over various tempos and instrumentation. There are slow and quiet moments like the title track and Morning Light next to bright, upbeat songs like Weight Of The World and Miss April next to the wonderful, Oriental flavoured Ready for your love -written, she says, about "that magical, lonely place of falling in love". Its fantastic to know that Julia was written about Julia Roberts; I was convinced she was singing about a prostitute! "You were hiding out in the open/ searching so hard/ for a kiss that lasts forever/ there on the boulevard". With a knack for writing the most irresistible chorus, Kreviazuk has made another great sing-along record that shines with dignity and pride. I want to know her. I want to keep her to myself. I want to play her again and again! So do my best friends. And you will too.
