She nailed it; her vocals are in the best shape I've ever heard them in. This actually has me geared up for her sophomore effort, as her improved vocal ability should obviously reflect on the new CD. Good stuff.
What do you think of the performance?

LeToya stopped by Atlanta's V103 radio station earlier this week before her performance in the stage show 'Rumors' at The Atlanta Civic Center. During the interview, the singer spoke about her much-anticipated sophomore album, which she claims will now be released 'sometime before the end of 08' (SMH), as well as giving an impromptu acapella of her 2006 smash 'Torn'. I was real surprised about her vocals...she stepped up!Labels: LeToya
R&B star LeToya's sophomore album has been confirmed for a June 10th 2008 release. The news may come as somewhat of a disappointment to her fans, as the singer has been quoted as saying that the album was set to drop at the start of 2008. Interestingly the album is listed as being released under Virgin Records; however it's doubtful there's much to that as LeToya's label Capitol and Virgin recently merged. {Source}Labels: LeToya
As LeToya Luckett preps the release of her sophomore effort (tentatively titled 'Lady Love') for an early 2008 release, a new buzz track has surfaced. Fans of the 'Torn' singer have been patiently waiting on 'Swagger' to surface since it's title was revealed back in October. I must say that I'm feeling the track, which features her fellow Texans UGK, Slim Thug and Killa Kyleon, a lot. LeToya's flow over the gritty production is on-point. The Beyonce reference was unexpected...see if you can spot it. Labels: LeToya
It seems her label Capitol are pulling out the stops for this project; with the likes of Ne-Yo and Brian Michael Cox now on board - it appears to be an A-list affair. Here's hoping the album is as good as her debut.
Any thoughts

R&B star LeToya continues to work on her sophomore effort (tentatively titled 'Lady Love') for a Spring 2008 release. The breakout solo star was recently filmed in the studio working with renown producers The Underdogs. I'm definitely liking the track they were working on - hopefully it'll make the CD's final cut.

Both LeToya and Solange attended Lil' Wayne's 25th birthday bash at Club HUSH in Houston on Sunday 23rd September. As usual, LeToya looked great...Solange, on the other hand, has had better days lol. Still, it's good to see that all hostility between LeToya and the Knowles' camp all in the past. 
R&B breakout star LeToya is hard at work on her as-yet-untitled sophomore LP (the previously announced title 'Lady Love' is still under consideration). Set for release in February 2008, the album is slated to feature productions from the likes of Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins, Pharrell Williams, J.R. Rotem, Bryan Michael Cox and J.R Rotem. Though the album is to hit stores next year, a track from the set titled 'Swagger' - which features UGK, Killa Kyleon and Slim Thug - should surface in the coming days.

R&B star LeToya appeared at the 2nd International Hip Hop Summit on Financial Empowerment in Toronto, Canada this past week. As usual, she was looking great; but I'm hoping she switches up her image (even if just a little) soon. She's starting to look real 'samey'. Still, why fix what's not broken?

R&B star LeToya was spotted on the set of the video for Diddy’s upcoming single ‘Diddy Rock’. Though not featured on the actual single, she’ll be making an appearance in the vid - which is still a very good look. I’ve always liked her hustle factor – she’s managed to stay in the limelight long after the release of her album. LeToya’s sophomore effort ‘Lady Love’ is set to drop in November.
R&B star LeToya served as the opening act on Mary J Blige's Salinos, California concert this past Friday (July 13th). During the 'Torn' singer's set, she revealed that her sophomore CD - due for release later this year - will be titled 'Lady Love'. LeToya, then, proceeded to perform the song, which reports described as having an '80's groove', as well as another new track called 'Don't Let Me Get Away'. A small tidbit: LeToya also performed a Destiny's Child Medley ('No, No No', 'Bills Bills Bills' and 'Say My Name'. Labels: LeToya
R&B star LeToya Luckett is hard at work on the follow-up to her self-titled debut. According to our friends at Rap-Up.com, a November release date has been pencilled in for the currently-untitled disc, which will drop via Capitol Music Group. Most interesting, however, is the producer line up - which is set to include Dr Dre, Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins and Babyface.
Are you anticipating LeToya's new album?

This new Mike Jones track 'Bonnie & Clyde' is slated to appear on his upcoming album 'The American Dream' (due July 10th). The track, which features LeToya Luckett, is decent mid-tempo number. However, I'm not really feeling Mike's talk-singing in parts of the song. LeToya does great on the hook, though. She's really keeping her name out there in the run-up to the release of her as-yet-untitled sophomore CD. Labels: LeToya, Mike Jones
The video for Ali & Gipp's new single 'Almost Made Ya' premiered today. I've been liking this Jermaine Dupri-produced song for some time now and it's great that it finally got the video treatment. Though it's pretty standard, the video is decent and LeToya is looking on-point - as usual. Be on the lookout for new albums by both Ali & Gipp as well as LeToya in the months ahead.
What do you think of the video?

It has been announced that R&B songstress LeToya is to be honored by the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers) during its 20th Anniversary Rhythm and Soul Music Awards on June 26th. LeToya's hit 'Torn' is also set to be honored at the event as one of ASCAP's top songs of 2006. Her career is going from strength to strength. Labels: LeToya
Following the success of her self-titled debut album - which has been certified Platinum, LeToya has revealed that she is hard at work on her sophomore CD. The currently untitled project has yet to be given a release date, however rumored producers are set to include Jermaine Dupri and Teddy Bishop. Speaking in this months edition of Grip Magazine, the Houston beauty also outlined her plans to start a clothing line. On top of this, Warner Chapel Music (WMC) - a part of Warner Music Group - put out a press release yesterday stating that they have signed LeToya to a publishing (songwriting) contract. Can't knock her hustle.Labels: LeToya

T.I - Big Sh*t Poppin'
This is scheduled to be the lead single from T.I's upcoming album 'T.I vs T.I.P' (due July 3rd). As with the 1st singles from his last few albums, 'Big Sh*t Poppin' doesn't dissappoint. The Mannie Fresh produced track is a banger; it's bass-heavy. T.I's flow is on-point too.
-----------------------------------
Trey Songz - Fly Together (ft. Jim Jones)
As I said before, I'm really liking Trey's new material; it's like he's done a complete U-turn from the music he was making on his last album. This new song, which features Jim Jones, is pretty good. Eric Hudson, who produced Omarion's 'Entourage', also produced this.

Brandy - Just Like Tommy
With all that is going on with Brandy, I wasn't expecting any new material from her for a while. Nonetheless, Just Like Tommy is a great track...not album material but still good. It has a neo-soul vibe to it, something she hasn't done in the past.
-----------------------------------
Omarion - Icebox (ft. Usher)
This remix of Icebox premiered on Hot 97 a few days ago and features none other than Usher. I was kinda surprised by the Usher feature as many see Omarion as one of many Usher imitators. Like the original, this version is HOT.

Paris Bennet - I Will
Former American Idol contestant Paris Bennet is to release her debut album 'Princess P' in April and this track will be featured on the set. The inspirational song includes a mass choir and Paris really delivers on the vocals.

Jennifer Hudson - And I Am Telling You (ONLY Live Performance) (AUDIO)
I know I posted the link to the video a last week, but here is the audio of this one-off live performance of the track. Jennifer nailed it.

PaPa Knowles strikes again. YBF chick LeToya Luckett was tapped to be on the Daddy's Little Girls soundtrack along with several other artists--including Beyonce. But word has it that the reason Toya got dropped from the soundtrack was because Papa Knowles demanded she get dropped or else Beyonce's track would be pulled. Here we go again....

Not too sure about this one. I know Papa Knowles is kinda shady but I think some of the stuff written about him is over-exaggerrated. Still though, I wouldn't put it past him...
