Ledisi finds freedom in 'Turn Me Loose' I wonder where Ledisi got that title from?
How is Ledisi following up Lost & Found, the 2007 breakthrough that earned her Grammy nominations for best new artist and best R&B album? "I'm just going for it, all the way," she says, with Turn Me Loose, due Aug. 18. For Loose, her fourth album, Ledisi teamed with veteran producers and writers such as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Carvin & Ivan and Chucky Thompson, as well as her previous collaborator Rex Rideout. "The title is a reflection of me finally being free. I'm singing my tail off; everything I do live, I do here. Now you get to take that wild, crazy, fun girl you see on stage home with you." Ledisi drew particular inspiration from the Buddy Miles song Them Changes, and she plans to put a cover version on Loose as an unlisted bonus track. "I had never heard the song, and then a friend played it for me and I started to cry. I just lost my mind, and I thought, 'I want to be able to let go like that.' " | |

She mentioned that in some interview I read. She said she did her first cd as an independent without any record company and without belonging to any organizations associated with the business. That's how she and John Legend qualified to be "best new artist". **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Her voice is bangin'. No doubt about it. She's got range and control. I'm also wondering if she got the title of her new CD from P. nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher

Ledisi is not easy on the eyes at all. I like her music though. Michael Baisden asked her why is her music not well-known. She told Michael Baisden she didn't have the look that the media likes. I gotta agree with her on that one! The message you are about to hear are not meant for transmission. Should ONLY be accessed in the privacy of your mind.

No, I don't think she's all that pretty, but now she can sing! Now Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott are pretty to me. It's just my opinion... She told Michael Baisden the media is not into the natural look. [Edited 6/12/09 18:09pm] The message you are about to hear are not meant for transmission.

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand. | |
