Leela James... Anybody Have Her Album?

I heard this young lady's debut single on the radio a couple of days ago and liked it a lot. Has anybody heard the entire album? I noticed that some of the songs are produced by Kanye West. I don't mind some of his production work but, I cannot stand his rapping. Basically I just want to know if he or any other rappers pop up in the middle of her songs (I hate that). I'm seriously considering buying the album.

Sooo, are you saying that there are no guest rappers (including Kayne) on her cd? If so good, I think I'll check it out.

It's a very bomb CD. Get it. One of the best voices you'll hear in your life.

I totally agree. Girl can blow, but too many of the songs are so-so. But I love how she sings "BACKSTABBER! BACKSTAB ME!" on the song It's Alright or maybe it's Didn't I. . There are so many hidden tracks within the album that the tracklist is off.

But, her voice is so strong and gritty. I hope she gets back in the studio and do something just real and dirty and soulful.
