Did Arista lose confidence in the project? Was the changing musical landscape the culprit? Regardless, Keedy’s 2nd album remains unreleased to this day. She eventually returned to Wisconsin, continuing to perform locally… and left behind a fascinating ‘what if’ in pop history. #Keedy #OneHitWondered
Keedy went back to the studio to record a second album for Arista... Reportedly, the new material was leaning towards a more mature, guitar-driven power-pop sound. The ol’ major-record-label trapdoor sprung open… and the album was shelved before it could be released. #Keedy #OneHitWondered

…And then came the kind of industry shenanigans that kill careers. After management shake-ups at Arista, promotional support faded, no more singles were pushed, and any momentum behind Keedy and the Chase the Clouds album evaporated. #Keedy #OneHitWondered
That shot came with “Save Some Love,” a glossy, upbeat single that became Keedy’s signature song, climbing all the way to #15. Her follow-up, the Diane Warren-penned “Wishing on the Same Star,” didn’t build on that momentum…topping out at #86 on the #Billboard #Hot100. #Keedy #OneHitWondered

Straight outta Milwaukee… with some Latin freestyle energy and a bubbly pop persona, Keedy looked like she might be one of the next big early-'90s breakout acts… Her debut album, Chase the Clouds, arrived in 1991 on Arista and gave her a real shot at the mainstream. #Keedy #OneHitWondered
The week ending April 6, 1991, Milwaukee Latin freestyle/pop vocalist Keedy earned US #OneHitWonder honors when her Hi-NRG dance-pop single “Save Some Love” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #39. The single spent 8 weeks on the chart, peaking at #15. #Keedy #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
I'm listening to the cool pop album "Chase The Clouds" (1991) by American singer and painter Keedy. My favourite track of hers though is "Save Some Love (Hot Remix)" from the CD single. Any other fans of this album?
