Background and release

Moore is More was Chanté Moore's first album in five years, and first release via Shanachie Records. The singer referred to the album as a reflection of her life at the moment, and added that it is therefore aggressive, happy, joyful, and bubbly. In an interview with soulmusic.com in May 2013, the singer explained: "I am having fun being able to sing about things that I can’t talk about. There are break-up issues and emotions that I feel regarding my last marriage. There’s lots of things that just aren’t even proper to even say out loud, except I can sing about them because it just makes more sense".

AllMusic	^[3]

Andy Kellman from AllMusic wrote that "like her previous album, 2008's Love the Woman, Moore mixes it up with "grown" and contemporary pop-R&B sounds, but she does it with a fresh and lengthy supporting cast that includes Chris "Big Dog" Davis, Kwamé, the Midi Mafia, and Louis Biancaniello and Sam Watters. There's a little more range, from the blaring and cluttered dance-pop of "On and On" (featuring a guest spot from Da Brat) to a magnetic version of the '50s torch song "Cry Me a River." Unsurprisingly, the latter is a better fit, and the songs closer to it in style – more refined, deeply felt, and pared down to suit Moore's still-remarkable voice – are what make the album attractive."^[3]
