Following Viral Fan Demand, Chantal Kreviazuk Reimagines Drakes’ “Over My Dead Body” | Launches New Project Marking Debut Release With Wax Records
Chantal Kreviazuk is a Platinum-selling, three-time JUNO Award-winning singer-songwriter whose voice and songs have left a lasting mark on music both in Canada and around the world. Known for her heartfelt ballads, powerful vocals, and ability to capture emotion in every lyric, she has delivered hits like “Surrounded” and “Feels Like Home” across seven acclaimed albums, including the multi-platinum Under These Rocks and Stones and Colour Moving and Still. Her music has also become part of popular culture, appearing in films like Armageddon and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and TV shows like Dawson’s Creek and Alias, connecting with audiences for more than two decades.
Beyond her own recordings, Kreviazuk has shaped the sound of pop music as a collaborator, writing and co-writing for artists like Drake, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Gwen Stefani. On stage, her performances blend intimacy and presence, allowing her to connect with audiences worldwide. Always evolving while staying true to her emotional core, Chantal continues to leave an enduring imprint on music—and with new material on the way, she’s proving once again why she remains one of the most influential and compelling voices in the industry.
“It was a magical time. We were so young, crashing into each other’s wild energy – me, Drake, 40, the whole cast at the studio. I knew the song was special; I kept nudging to make sure it stayed in play. Drake is such a focused collaborator, and he and 40 trusted each other completely. It felt like I’d stepped into one of the great creative partnerships. So much laughter, and so much magic in the process. By far my favourite writing session ever.”
“This reaction has been humbling and validating. It feels good to finally sing it and live it. It’s been some years; I hope I’ve earned it. I would never want to take away from the genius of Drake and 40 – it was the opportunity of my career to work in that space. I literally felt like I was in the room with the future. I knew it then, and I’m pinching myself now.”
Chantal Kreviazuk is revisiting the songs she’s written for others, this time performing them herself. The Platinum-selling, GRAMMY- and JUNO-winning songwriter has spent decades shaping some of pop and hip-hop’s most iconic tracks, and now she’s putting her own voice front and center. The project begins with her take on “Over My Dead Body,” the opening track from Drake’s 2011 album Take Care, which she co-wrote with Drake and Noah “40” Shebib. A teaser clip of her rendition has already gone viral, drawing millions of views and giving longtime fans—and new listeners—a fresh way to experience her songwriting magic.
Where Drake’s original carried the weight of introspective hip-hop, Chantal’s version strips it back to its emotional core. Piano-driven and intimate, it highlights the aching nuance in her voice, turning the song into something cinematic and deeply personal. It’s a chance to hear the song not just as a hit, but as the vulnerable, human story it began as—an artist reclaiming her own work and sharing it in a way only she can.
