Today brought with it the global release of LeToya Luckett‘s third studio album ‘Back 2 Life.’
Long-awaited, the set is the star’s first body of work since 2009’s ‘Lady Love’ and was preceded by its title track and ‘Used To.’ Both of which form part of a three-piece video series.
Already #1 on the US iTunes R&B tally, the LP has been receiving rave reviews for being a solid slice of soulfulness.
Here at TGJ we’ve had two tracks on repeat all day – ‘Show Me’ and ‘Disconnected.’
The first is a delicious fusion of funky retro synth, while the latter is stripped-back piano ballad that puts Luckett’s powerful vocals at the forefront.
Easily the clear stand-out’s, we’re kinda wondering why these weren’t serviced as singles initially. But that’s neither here nor there.
Take a listen to both below…
this album is everything – my fav took her time but she didn’t let me down. YESSSSSS!
I’m getting this album! This girl gives me life! Ever since Regret.
The album is pretty solid
A mess. I can’t believe that I just wasted my mb on this trash.
Sorry she isn’t a voice I stand for but I support DC3 members & I’ll continue to do that…
‘Loving you’ and ‘grey’ are really good. The production is solid.
Yes! Grey is my favorite!
Her voice keeps progressing. Sounding better as she matures and gain confidence in her voice. The main strength of LeToya is her type of song choices to put on her album. He has that mix of tempos that fit her swag.
Disconnected, Weekend, Middle, Higher and Used To are the one’s I’m playing the most at the moment but Show Me is a very cool throwback vibes. Reminds me of Blow from Bey and Monica’s Suga.
Pieced this body of work well.
Middle and Grey are good ones too! Still listening, but I am feeling the albums vibe so far!
Is this not the greatest complete rnb album you’ve heard in ages? I mean come on LeToya!!!! This is everything!!!! I’m so in love with this chick!! ??
