Peep Brandy on the cover for the latest issue of JET magazine. Looking good…R&B crooner Avant is set to release his self-titled LP on December 9th, his first for new label Capitol Records. The album is being preceded by ‘Break Ya Back (In A Good Way)’, the video for which premiered on MySpace today. Put simply, funds must be tight over at his label because if that isn’t the cheapest looking video I’ve seen, I don’t know what is. On a more positive note, the actual song isn’t bad at all.
What do you think of the song / video?
It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from LeToya, it’s been even longer since there was any sign of the follow-up to Ms. Luckett’s Platinum certified debut (which was supposed to drop early this year). Word has it that since the merger of her label Capitol with Virgin last year, things haven’t been right at the label since (example: the last time you heard of Cherish or J. Holiday?).
Anyway, a brand new track featuring R&B crooner Avant has surfaced titled ‘Somebody Else’. I must stress that the song IS NOT LeToya’s first release from the new album – and thankfully so. It’s not that the smooth, laid back’ mid-tempo isn’t good – quite the contrary; I’m just gonna need LeToya to knock the ball out the park with her new material – coming off such a solid debut, as well as the fact she’s been gone for so long. Here’s hoping the album’s release is nigh.
Hit or Miss?
