*Ledisi is back in the studio, making her fans another bomb album. As a follow-up to her very popular “Turn Me Loose,” the Grammy-nominated songbird is dedicating her sixth album to songwriting.
“The new album is based around songwriting. It’s very R&B, but not completely,” she says. “I always have to push it again. You won’t hear the heavy guitars anymore – you will hear a really nice sound from me.”
She continued, explaining this next project is going to be a little different than the rest. It will include a variety of styles.
“This album is so much easier because I had the experience with ‘Turn Me Loose’,” she says. “Now, I’m so into songwriting – it made it seem so easy. Now, I’ve learned to take a song and exhaust every possibility. It’s good to go everywhere around the world (with songwriting) to come back. Sometimes (the final one) is good, but the first one is better. It’s exhausting, but worth it. I feel like I’ve done everything with that song.”
Her sixth, untitled album is expected to drop some time next year.
Love Ledisi…If you haven’t seen her live she’s a must see.
I’m a DIE-HARD fan and I always check her out when she’s here in NYC.
One of my current faves
this i agree she destin to be an icon
I just love her music! She is so gifted and talented. Grown folk music.
I LOVE LEDISI TOO! SHE IS A “SANGER” AND COMBINES GOSPEL, JAZZ AND R&B IN HER VOCALS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER LIVE. THE TORCH HAS DEFINITELY BEEN PASSED TO HER.
Gotta catch her live. She is on FIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!! Definitely one of a kind and leaves her audiences wondering “what did I just experience?” About one of the best live performers I’ve seen(and I’ve seen alot).
Happy to see my hometown sis doing so well. The Bay Area loves and misses you, Ledisi. Glad the world finally recognizes what we knew all along.
Sad that I missed her at Yoshis last week, but I know I’ll catch her when she swings back home for another visit. I wish her luck with the new CD.
