New Songs: LeToya – ‘Don’t Need You’ & ‘Lazy’ (Snippets)

Published: Monday 24th Nov 2008 by Sam
It’s been more than 2 years since the release of LeToya Luckett’s Platinum certified debut solo effort. Though the LP’s follow-up had been slated for a 2008 release, label mergers etc caused for the album to be delayed until next year (word has it March 2009). In the meanwhile, snippets of two tracks believed to be for the album have surfaced in the form of ‘Don’t Need You’ and ‘Lazy’ – both of which you can listen to below:
Don’t Need You

Lazy

I must say, I’m impressed. Yes, neither are ground-breaking, however I’m really feeling the more ‘R&B/Pop’ (Cross-over) sound they both have. I’ve always seen LeToya as having a lot of cross-over appeal, so I’m hopeful this is the route she embarks on with her sophomore LP.

Hit(s) or Miss(es)?

    I am really liking the first track, ‘Don’t Need You’. She sounds really good. It’ll be nice to see her really blow up this time around and I hope the media leaves her alone about the Destiny’s Child situation.

    I was never into laToya’s album and was only really feeling the tracks special and Obvious (which i still love) These tracks sound cool and i’m really looking forward to hearing this album…
    What always gets me is that Matthew Knowles held back two talented singers for his daughter and friend and i remember Beyonce and kelly saying in vibe magazines a few years back saying they couldn’t sing but LaToya sings better than kelly and seems to be having better success. Good luck to her.

    I like how both are sounding. Toya could always sing. I still play her solo debut, it has some jams. I hope the label merger mess is over and they can focus on her and promote her the way she deserves. She has great potential and she already has a fan base that wants her to do well. As far as the DC stuff I think she handles the questions well but they can quit with them.

    The DC mess is never going to end with her. It will come up until the media gets tired of talking about it. LeToya is going to come back hard…I know she is. I heard from Letoyaonline that these songs don’t fully represent what her album is going to sound like…it’s just two teasers. So I know she has things that are hot or even hotter than this…

    I have always liked Letoya . . . her firdt album went Platinum and this one will as well . . . simply because she still has fans from her DC days and she garnered more recognized with her solo effort . . . Torn still gets much radio play.

    Love LeToya. She was, IS, my favorite member of Destiny Child. I’m glad to hear some new material from her. Her last album was hot. can we say ‘All Eyes on Me’? The beat on that first song is good. got an old school feel to it. I wish her the best and can’t wait for the album to drop. I don’t really buy cd’s right now but i’m gettin hers off tops.

    to the person who said letoya having better success than kelly is a fuckn hater.
    b**** get your fuckn facts right h**, she hasn’t even reached what kelly has accomplished and that’s not including Destiny’s Child…
    do some research

    I like both of the songs. I am so glad she is coming back next year. Lazy is tight. I like what I am hearing from the snippets so far. They will always ask her those DC question so my thing is to suck it up cause she always handles it with class. When her album comes out, I will buy it !

    Damn LAZY is single material fo sho. I hope she don't do to much R&P cus like her R&B roots

    Like both songs and hope they are on the album.
    Been waiting sooooo long for some Letoya tracks to surface. I was liking her duet with Avant so things look bright in terms of songs and visions she headed towards for this project.

    LeToya is a talent in her own right. Her first album was dope. I think the best out of the 2 is Lazy. N MS.KELLY HAS A NEW LEAKED RECORD OUT CALLED BLAZE

    I heard rumors LeToya is singing a christmas song with Nat King. I was wondering when is the single due to come out?

    First off let me respond to the haters. HI HATERS!!! LOL. Next let me say this, 09 is Letoya’s year, yes it’s been a while since she’s been out but that wasn’t her fault you need to be mad at the record labels. She has so much coming up next year y’all aint gone know what to do. Either Jan, 24 or 25 “A night of the stars: A tribute to Patti Labelle. Letoya will be peforming along with other other talenst like J. Hud, Fantasia, Mario and more. And patti labelle personally invited letoya to perform one of her songs so that should tell y’all something. You can find the recording on youtube. Second she has two new movies coming out the biggest one will be “Caramel” with Lauren London, Chingy, Cherish, Kyla Pratt and yours truly CHRIS BROWN. Don’t belive me look it up on IMD (internet movie database)plus her hot new album. She will be big. The girl is firece and ppl will be taken by surprise. “Dont’ Need You” is hot. That’s my fav out of the two snippets. And to the person who said kelly is bigger then letoya is a DAMN lie. Yeah kelly face is out there more but has either one of her CD’s gone platinum….NO and it won’t if she continue to be behind Matthew Knowles. SORRY

    I like these songs…look forward to the cd dropping…H-town is still doing it big!!

    BOTH SONGS ARE A HIT! LOVES LETOYA!!! But she needs to stop being “Lazy” and go ahead and release a damn sophomore album before the public loses interest!

  25. Anonymous December 6, 2008

    i’m ready for her album and her movies to drop. I think this will be a good look for her. This way it will keep her name and credibility out there. GO TOYA!!!!!!

  26. Anonymous December 6, 2008

    This is a great look for Letoya. She has so much potiental to be a crossover artist. And i feel as if with this album she can be. She has the look, the credibility, and the voice to do so. Not only do i believe she can be a big hit in the U.S. but I believe she can overseas. As long as we her fans help to keep her name out there and show them that Letoya is a talent on her own. SUPER STAR STATUS!!!!

    Chorus:
    You gotta forgive me
    I know it might sound crazy but right now my heart's a little lazy
    I'm tired of opening up, I'm tired of caring
    I don't feel like loving you, don't feel like loving you
    You gotta forgive me
    I know it might sound crazy but who knew love could be so drainy
    I'm tired of opening up, I'm tired of caring
    I don't feel like loving you, don't feel like loving you no more

    Lazy should be the 1st single that joint is fire!! Her vocals n everything is on point & pop works for her. Though the song kind of elements hiphop & a bit of a rock feeling during the chorus. She sorta sounds like jojo, but she sounds waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy better. Go Head LeToya!!!
    Don't Need You is cool.

    I can tell you with absolute certainty, that you may as well burn your money in a voodoo traffic pyre while chanting “Alexa” over and over. Maybe that will work.
