New Song: LeToya Luckett – ‘Back 2 Life’

LeToya Luckett is back!

The R&B songbird has hatched new single ‘Back 2 Life’ – the latest taste of new album ‘Until Then…’

A moody mid-tempo, the track follow’s last year’s ‘Don’t Make Me Wait’ featuring T.I.

With acting serving as the Destiny Child graduate’s main focus in recent years, it appears she’s returning to build on the momentum of her Platinum certified debut and hit singles such as ‘Torn’ and ‘Regret.’

Does her new number favourably compare?

Listen below and let us know…

We like.

Sonically made up of what’s hot (see: R&B with minimalist production), the track does a decent job of reintroducing Toya to her core audience. The ‘Soul II Soul’ sample at the end was a cute touch too.

We would, however, like to hear her come swinging with a song that is less of a laid-back groove and one with more of a bold bite. For LeToya lovers, a tracks like ‘All Eyez On Me’ and ‘Regret’ immediately come to mind. Or, if veering slower, then cuts like ‘Obvious’ or ‘Good To Me.’

‘Back 2 Life’ boasts a pleasant taste. We’re ready for more of the meal.

  2. IKNOWTHETRUTH December 7, 2016

    LOVE IT. SHE AND KELLY DO AMAZING WITH R&B/POP/SOUL RECORDS. I WOULD LOVE A DUET WITH THOSE TWO. KUDOS TO TOYA FOR STAYING RELEVANT WITHOUT REALITY TV AND COLLECTING COINS AND MAKING A NAME FOR HERSELF. READY FOR HER DIONNE WARWICK MOVIE.

    • IRick December 7, 2016

      I would love to hear a diet whgh them two. I’m sure all destiny child’s fans would to.

  3. Toya December 7, 2016

    Slay toya !!!
    hoping she gets the same praise as Solange if not more
    she deserves !!
    she also deserves a solo Grammy and a hit single/ Album !!!!!!!
    lastly lets get her an RIAA certification
    its shameful she has none but we got her first album to go #1

    • Paulo December 7, 2016

      “its shameful she has none” her debut went Platinum, duh

    • IKNOWTHETRUTH December 7, 2016

      HER FIRST ALBUM WENT NUMBER ONE AND PLATINUM

      • Toya December 7, 2016

        it is not RIAA certified
        i checked 🙁

      • JazThatBoi December 8, 2016

        Her debut album went platinum. It was certified Platinum in December 2006…just saying.

  4. Danzou December 7, 2016

    She looks so good and she’s never disappointed musically to be honest. Regret is still a jam.

  5. Paulo December 7, 2016

    YASSSSSSSSSSS welcome back fav! love how she’s swagged up and still elegant.

    • danyboo6 December 7, 2016

      Too elegant. I want her to do a song like partition or flawless something with that freaky deky htown bang too it.

  6. Rick December 7, 2016

    Nice !! Toya music never feels forced….. come on bring the heat….. sn I would literally get my entire life if dc reunited wuth all ladies… All voices have matured and grown over the yearss… just a dream us fans will never see..

  7. King z December 7, 2016

    This is hot but like Sam said its def not “ive been gone for 6 years, I’m back” material

    I blame drake and jhene aiko for popularizing that speed sung/talk crap. Everybody sounds like they are singing the same song!

    • Danzou December 7, 2016

      I’m getting so tired of it.

    • Scarlett December 7, 2016

      Letoya been making music like this. She was doing the whole HTown sound/chopped and screwed/moody/mixtape thing ten years ago. With that being said, she could’ve came harder.

    • iamdiego December 8, 2016

      Letoya was in the group that started the sung talk. Drake and Jhene didnt start that. Go back to No No No and every song after.

  8. Lake Erie December 7, 2016

    I like it. Her sh!t always official. I would of liked something a little more upbeat too. But this is good….

  9. Meme December 7, 2016

    Love it. I’m so proud of all the DC girls. They have to be some of the sweetest southern girls in the world. The only one of the girls I never got into was Farrah. She had that funky LA attitude.

    • IKNOWTHETRUTH December 7, 2016

      SHE DOES NOT COUNT LOL

    • Danzou December 7, 2016

      She’s the bitter one too so she can keep it. Every interview is about something that happened over twenty years ago with the group.

  10. Mark111 /.\ December 7, 2016

    I bet Sevyn wrote this. I like it.

    • Danzou December 7, 2016

      Look it up and let me know. I doubt it though cuz all that auto tune ain’t Amber’s style but…

      • TheOuyonB December 7, 2016

        “Amber”, too, uses autotune. Sorry.. And the purpose of the filter on this song is in lieu of it being “trap soul”. It’s very prevalent and apart of that genre of music. Doesnt matter who wrote it.

      • Danzou December 7, 2016

        Ok well find me a song where AMBER yes AMBER (cuz that’s her name b****) she uses it?

  11. I am Toni Child’s December 7, 2016

    Does Anybody know where I can download this song, I’m on an Apple device. I dig the song ???

  12. Dawn December 7, 2016

    Kelly Rowland take notes honey, y’all kicked her out of the group and she gets more praise then you and michelle far as artistry (music)

    • Anti was the best album of 2016 December 7, 2016

      Lol b**** shut the hell up talking that b*******. Kelly’s an icon and letoya is………. nothing really.

      • TheOuyonB December 7, 2016

        She’s nothing except a working millionaire. I’ll take it. What about you?

  13. cocobutta December 7, 2016

    She sounding goooood.

    Not a single for me but just a get feet back wet song.

    Sam good shout out to OBVIOUS that song should have been a proper single on her Debut.

    This track cool but wanted something bit more punchy where a wig could be snatched.

    Loving the salute to Soul II Soul track

  14. Sheeno December 7, 2016

    Yes yes yes!!!. This B right here just made my b-day extra special. I dreamt she and I was recording a song just on Monday morning!. This is dope she release a song 2-days post my dream. I love me some (LT).

  15. *Vonnie* December 7, 2016

    Doesn’t work!

  16. new December 7, 2016

    Love this girl. Glad to see she is back to making music!

  17. Gee December 7, 2016

    Glad to see Letoya getting herself going again she is the only member of DC other than B to graduate to a platinum album as a solo artist. I also like the relationship she and Michelle have developed. I hope that she goes in the R&B soul lane.

    • unmm December 7, 2016

      Where is the RIAA certification of said platinum album?
      and Kelly are the one ones to graduate from DC with a solo Grammy as well as VMAs, BBMas , Etc etc
      love letoya but lets not

      • SoFresh December 7, 2016

        She was certified platinum back in December 2006 to be exact. Album dropped in July 2006 where she garnered Gold within 2 months. It’s not heresay, it’s a FACT she went platinum!

      • Paulo December 8, 2016

        “let’s not” act as Billboard itself didn’t confirm RIAA certified ‘LeToya’ the debut Platinum and “let’s not” act as if Kelly actually has one in the USA. yeah let’s not

  18. CJ December 7, 2016

    So this song is about her ex Rob Hill Sr. ?☕?

  19. DC3 Fan December 7, 2016

    Aside from Kelly and Bey
    letoya is my fav out of DC…

    Letoya may not be as BIG as Kelly
    or a WW phenomina like Bey
    but she sure as hell has mad a lane for herself.
    i pray her music is successfull because a lot has changed in the industry.

  20. Credits December 7, 2016

    I can’t here it?! And I can’t find it anywhere else lol.

    • Credits December 7, 2016

      It’s on iTunes!

  21. DanYiel Iman December 7, 2016

    Now I’m a fan of all Destiny’s Child members & want the best for all but man an up tempo not strained TONES song will suit her voice well!! I’m done..

  22. brazio December 7, 2016

    Yess!!ď

  23. RihYonce December 7, 2016

    Slay Letoya !! I’ve always been a fan of her music. I’m glad she’s back we need our 2000s R&B girls back! I want a OG Destinys Child reunion soon that would slay . I would definitely pay my coins for that

  24. ya December 7, 2016

    I love it Letoya’s coming hard with this one the beat bangs and the vocals are smooth I like playing non stop.

  25. Kwinzy December 8, 2016

    Loving the direction just hope there’s some uptempo cuts I can bop to in the whip. Welcome back Toya 🙂

  26. Jasmine December 8, 2016

    Latoya is not a diva yet. She needs more hits under her belt. I hope she drops a new album soon and gets more hits.

  27. We Nowqd Redv dimnobut it ash trjoan ivy blobukz Need UK timely Ukuno eremxil December 8, 2016
