5.0 out of 5 stars I AM STILL SPEECHLESS!!, June 29, 2004

This review is from: Soul Singer (Audio CD)

I went to see Rachelle Farrelle perform at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC. Under her name was a performer who was slated to be the opening act, Ledisi. I had never heard of her neither was I aware of her talent. Later I found out she is a protégé of Rachelle's. She came out in a plain black dress, an african head wrap, and no shoes. She played with an awesome live band featuring Sundra and the Braxton Brothers and from the first note she sang ("Get Outta My Kitchen") her voice sounded as if she had been singing for 20+ years! A SEASONED voice! Almost spiritual. This girl sounded better LIVE than on any CD! If I hadn't been there I wouldn't have believed it. SHE TORE IT UP!!It was so refershing to hear actual singing with lyrics that had meaning. Neo-soul mixed w/ funk, R&B, jazz; the girl can scat her (...) off. She did a version of "Take Time" that was unforgettable. It took me a while to get her CD. I was running all over DC and MD looking for it in every store, and time after time I heard, "sorry, it's sold out!" Amazon was the ONLY place I could find it. #13 is called "Groove On" a mellow, sensual, slow jam that is definitely my favorite. Every cut is primo. ("Hotel," "In My Life," "I Want Cha Babe") She covers subjects ranging from spousal abuse to child abuse/incest, and she does it tastefully and seriously. This girl is bad! If you are sick and tired of the so called "music" that is being generated these days, please just give this CD a chance. I PROMISE - You will NOT be dissapointed. I have a copy for my car, work, and home. I agree with Delicious, too bad radio stations in DC/MD/VA haven't caught on yet. Ledisi, you are going far girlfriend!! Congrats!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ledisi......why am I just now hearing this name!!!!, September 15, 2000

I signed on to Amazon.com one day and noticed the name Ledisi on my recommended CD listing. I thought 'who is this, never heard of her'.....well I read the reviews and decided I'd give her a shot. I am so extremely happy I listened to my instincts this time!!! This CD is slammin'! Ledisi's style is indescribable. Soulful, jazzy, sensual....just plain talented. I've been playing the CD ever since I took it out of my mailbox and groovin' to every single track. I just hope she makes it to Atlanta to perform sometime soon! I am definitely recommending this one to all good soul music lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars NEO SOUL FIREPLUG!, November 29, 2005

This review is from: Soul Singer (Audio CD)

I was hipped to this sista by a buddy of mine who told me I needed to peep one of her shows. Never did it. Then I heard a few of her cuts and was HOOKED! Blessed with an amazing voice and so much passion from it, Ledisi (Leh-duh-see) does her thang quite like no other, male artists included. If you want something jazzy and Neo Soulish and bluesy...this CD is for you. Long live Ledisi! Next up - I GOTTA see her in concert!
