Ledisi's is Hotter than July!

Anyone that knows me know that I think Neo-Soul, Jazz, R&B singer Ledisi can do no wrong! To me she's a singer's singer. Flexible voiced and musically trained, she knows how to caress a note and when to wail if needed. She's destined to become one of the classic vocal greats. Trust me there are not too many current singers who will live up to this accolade. The Ciara's and J-Lo's will not be included in this category. You know how some singers do so many runs (endless vocal tricks that never seem to end), that drive you crazy? No auto-tuning for this beast! Ledisi is not one of those singers (although can do vocal riffs like no other)! What she does is stand flat footed and deliver. Well not exactly stand still. The music makes her move! Ledisi has recently earned two Grammy nominations for Best R&B Album "Turn Me Loose"and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for her single "Going Thru Changes". She recently appeared on the 2009 Soul Train Awards in a musical tribute to icon Chaka Khan in a segment that was too darn short. Yet while singing a snippet of Chaka's "Through the Fire" she killed and left you begging for more! Has anyone noticed her new look? She's looking more toned in her 4 inch stiletto's and her glam squad has given her a new do. I guess Ledisi says it's time to "bring it" on all accounts. Scheduled to appear on the Monique show Dec. 14th, Ledisi will perform "Higher Than This" (written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis) and "This Christmas" from her 2008 Christmas cd. Let me say this, while singing "Higher Than This" this pass August @ The Music Experience in Chicago, she delved into her spirituality and took the audience to church! Her Christmas cd is a gem. A new age classic! It's probably the ONLY Christmas cd I can listen to all year long. She's taping the BET Celebration of Gospel 10th Anniversary Special in LA on tomorrow and I can't wait to see it when it airs January 10, 2010 on BET. If you have not jumped on the "Ledhead" bandwagon, I advise you buy a ticket and come along for the journey!
