美國實力歌姬［香緹．莫］──當代R&B／放克／靈魂曲──［Loves Taken Over／愛已佔據］

Honey, I know that you didnt know
That loving me could be like this
But youre not alone
My mind was blown
I could not resist

And now I find myself taken over by the feeling
And I know within my heart its too late to say goodbye now
And theres a place in me that belongs to you, baby
So relax and be mine

Now that loves taken over me
What will I do now?
Now that loves taken over you
Baby, Ill show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over

Too bad for you
You cant free yourself from me
Dont bother to
Youll have to stay here forever

And now I find myself taken over by the feeling
And you know within your heart its too late to say goodbye now
Theres a place in you that belongs to me, baby
So relax and be mine

Honey, I cant feel sorry for ya
Youve got me lovin you so much, I just cant let go
You shouldve known one day that love was gonna catch up to ya
And now you know

Now that loves taken over you
What will you do now?
Now that loves taken over me
Baby, Ill show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
Sing it with me now

Now that loves taken over

Flyin high in the friendly skies
Feels so good sometimes it makes me cry
This loves got to be here for always
I cant give you up, I wont give you up, no way

Now that loves taken over you
What will you do now?
Now that loves taken over me
Baby, Ill show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
Baby, loves taken over

Now that loves taken over you
Now that it have, what could you do?
Now that loves taken over me
Baby, Ill show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
Oh, sing with me

Now that love has taken over
Now that loves taken over

１９６７年２月出生於舊金山的香緹．莫（Chanté Moore）為美國實力歌手．

父母為基督教福音傳道者，在教會唱歌長大，深受George Duke和Lee Ritenour音樂的影響。。

她是一名選美選手和模特，

１９歲時被人才經理 Benny Medina 簽約至華納兄弟唱片公司。雖然為唱片公司錄製了一張名為［Listen to My Song］的專輯，但該項目在製作後期被擱置，香緹最終被放棄。

１９９１年，與MCA唱片公司執行長Louis Silas, Jr.新成立的Silas唱片公司（與MCA 的合資企業）簽約， 香緹是該公司的第一位簽約人，

１９９１年１０月，摩爾與 R&B 歌手Keith Washington首次錄製的二重唱［Candlelight and You］收錄在 MCA 製作的喜劇電影 ［House Party 2］的原聲帶專輯中。

１９９２年９月，２５歲半的香緹推出首張大碟［Precious ／珍貴］（Silas／MCA唱片發行）

樂評良好．

首支主打是７月推出的［Loves Taken Over／愛被佔據］

由香緹，Simon Law合寫，

Simon Law＋Lee Hamblin製作成一首當代R&B／放克／靈魂曲，

在慵懶的中板節奏間，莫的細緻嗓音以性感唱腔演繹．

［Loves Taken Over／愛已被佔據］登上美國告示牌單曲榜＃８６副榜──R&B歌曲榜＃１３（1999年度#47），

讓她在黑人音樂界開始受到矚目．

在單曲的推波助瀾下，大碟［This Moment Is Mine ］登上美國專輯榜＃１０１
