After helping establish Destiny’s Child as a musical force by singing on and co-writing the group’s signature smash hits “Bills Bills Bills” and “Say My Name,” LeToya has returned with her self-titled debut album.
Due in stores July 18, the well-rounded collection features production from Scott Storch (Dr. Dre, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce) and guest appearances from Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Bun B and Slim Thug.
Having a self-titled album made the most sense to the accomplished singer, who also runs the successful clothing and accessory store Lady Elle in Houston. “It’s the world’s first time hearing me and getting to know me as a solo artist,” LeToya says, “so what better way to get them to know me than call it LeToya?”
In addition to lead single “Torn,” which details the struggles of a strained relationship, LeToya features a number of songs that represent Houston’s emerging sound.. LeToya salutes her city on the innovative screwed-R&B hybrid “Gangster Grill,” which features Mike Jones and Killa Kyleon. She delivers two more uptempo smashes with “Tear Da Club Up” with Bun B and “All Eyes On Me,” which features Paul Wall and Slim Thug.
With the upbeat, Scott Storch-produced “I’m Good,” LeToya dismisses a no-good man, while on the sassy “She Don’t” she sings from the perspective of a woman who realizes that her man will never find a woman on her level. She then explores the pain that comes with a haphazard engagement on the moving ballad “Obvious.”
Before embarking upon her solo career, LeToya was a member of Destiny’s Child. During her seven-year stint, the group released the gold-certified singles “Bills Bills Bills” and “Say My Name,” both of which LeToya co-wrote and appeared on the breakthrough The Writing’s On The Wall album, which has been certified 8-times platinum in the United States.
Now, with LeToya ready, LeToya will again have the world saying her name.
