LaTocha Scott gives praise to the Almighty with her debut Gospel single ‘Stay With Me.’
Renowned for taking vocal flight as a member of the iconic R&B group Xscape, the singer is flying out on her own with the track – which serves as the first fruit of her freshly inked deal with Motown Gospel.
The release arrives ahead of the debut of ‘SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B.’ (which premieres on Bravo on March 5).
Watch the visual for the soul-stirring ‘Stay With Me’ below…
Nice song but dare I say that it seems a little packaged and inauthentic. From the cross earrings to the feeling that I get from , say, a Jonathan McReynolds song. I just don’t FEEL it when she sings. Although she sung it beautifully, something is missing. I need to hear more. Rooting for her
She’s missing the anointing,
Thats it
It’s giving I couldn’t make that solo R&B album I always wanted so I settled for gospel…
While using a ghetto reality show full of fighting and drama to promote it…
This is exactly what I came here to say, but in other words. She should have just sang this for her husband. It’s more believable as an R&B song. Beautiful vocals nonetheless.
Wow, LaTocha has a hit on her hands. She listened to the man upstairs and stepped out on faith. You are where you’re supposed to be, singing Gospel music.
⬆️
Comment placed by her team. Obviously. Chile…
If this is her team, tell her to just sing soul music.
Her opinion.
Agreed, sounds really good. I can see the intended audience enjoying this.
Mmmmmk.
It’s mmmmk….
Ya‘ll like who like it soo much, save it from flopping then. 😏
Sadly she won’t get any play on the Gospel stations. Ask Michelle Williams….
She gotta learn to lose a little control over her instrument while singing to the Lord.
This is too controlled and intentional.
U gotta let the spirit fill u the f u c k up and SANNNNGGGG to Jesus..
It was good tho.
Y’all sum haters damn…. lol
Exactly!
Mary Mary literally recorded songs like “I Luh God” but they’re here saying LaToya can’t sing Gospel, lol
Most modern Gospel no longer has it’s “Blues” elements and has become more R&B anyways, which is why so many R&B acts can so easily transition.
A lot of R&B artists have attempted gospel but easily transitioned is a stretch. Artists like Aretha and Whitney were able to easily transition because of the anointing they possessed. I hear Fantasia is working on a gospel album. She’ll transition easily as well. The Gospel industry is small but NOT easy to break into.
Aretha & Whitney did NOT transition. Both Women grew up singing Gospel music before secular music. They are both innovators when it comes to R&B/Pop ballads.
They were not Gospel recording artists. They grew up singing Gospel in the church like many R&B singers have in the past. Their careers began singing Jazz/R&B/Soul/Pop and they recorded Gospel SUCCESSFULLY after the fact.
I see a lot of negative comments say what u want ok but let’s be clear that woman can sang sing blow I don’t care if she sings gospel solo in a group hell understand water she is favored by the most high
Gospel is the death bed most R&B artists lay in for the last few agonizing moments of their careers until it’s death.
This just need. remix with cardi to go top 5 on hot 100. or latto
She left Xscape for this…. Lol
Beautiful Queen you are so amazing i love you continue to shine you did this I am so glad you made your move and may God continue to Bless you.
WOW, BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES, AMEN
It’s a decent song; she has good vocals but it’s not giving me the urge to play it again or buy it….Maybe I need to relisten to it later.
Yes always on key she doing it……😆🙏🏿
She has a nasty attitude. Typical of a Black Christian woman. Singing about being holier than thou while mistreating those around her. Not very GODLY
Ok. Um. Ok, the voice was nice but I was looking for more then words like the little girl from college park and less stay with me. She said stay with me so many times that when I thought is was going to get good the song ended. Truthfully, the back ground singers were goooooood.
I love it. Give her a chance.
Beautiful 🎵
Wow this s different I’m going to be honest I was side eyeing at first before she uttered a word But i like the song stay with Me and to be Honest her sister would have ate that song up with her I know she wants this opportunity by herself but you can’t deny their voices together their harmony and vocals are unmatched even adding Tiny & Kandi on that back ground would have been amazing Tiny got them runns Kandi would have hoped on that part the stay with me me ne would have made hairs stand up Tocha this is your time but don’t turn your back on how we came to know you iYour a Beast Vocally I’m still trying to do that meeeeeee lol run on stay with me great Job
IT’S A DEFINITELY A YES WITHOUT QUESTION, GREAT JOB & YOU CAN’T GO WRONG WHEN JESUS IS INVOLVED 💕💕🙏🏿✌🏿
She has a beautiful voice hands down, however knowing how to sound good & singing gospel is two different things. Until she’s sincere in her intentions she can’t go mich further. God wants her to open up & admit her shortcomings to him. She’s not even honest with herself. I wish her nothing but the best
I love this song and she sung it so beautifully. I feel that people are going to have their own opinion. He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. Now that it out the way. Keep singing always give praise to God and forget all the nay sayers.
