The Pittsburgh Courier noted âher chops are powerful, but she reaches upper and lower registers effortlesslyâ¦.sheâs also quite a fantastic scat vocalistâ.

Chandra is comfortable with any style of music. cited as being âthe perfect lead vocalistâ in an article by Black Radio Exclusive magazine (BRE) commenting on Chandra replacing Mary Davis as lead singer for the S.O.S. band in 1986. Chandra and the S.O.S. band climbed the billboard charts to #4 with âIâm Still Missing Your Loveâ on Tabu/Sony records on the âDiamonds In the Rawâ album.
