Beyonce & Rihanna aren’t the only vocalists making independent moves this year.
For, kicking out the middle man to reach their fans directly are R&B singers LeToya Luckett, Lyrica Anderson and Chrisette Michele, all of whom are making major moves on an independent front this year.
What the ladies have been up to since the start of the year?
Catch up with our independent women below…
Following her departure from Capitol, Toya will release her third solo album this year, doing so via eOne two years after she bagged a role on VH1’s ‘Single Ladies‘ and after her self-titled debut LP was certified Platinum in the USA.
Elsewhere, Lyrica Anderson treats her fans to brand new material with the song ‘Hashtag’ and its Sean Alexander-directed visual.
The jam touches down following the release of the singer’s ‘King Me’ EP releases, and after she worked her magic on Jennifer Hudson’s discography with the cut ‘Walk it Out.’
Last, but not certainly not least, is Chrisette Michele.
Currently starring in ‘R&B Divas LA‘, the singer recently cut ties with Motown Records to launch her very own record label Rich Hipster, which can boast of having a distributor in Capitol!
Last November saw the release of her ‘The Lyricists’ Opus’ EP, peaking at #23 on Billboard’s R&B album tally.
FLOP FLOP FLOP!!!!
You’re not a real India Stan. Stop it
@musicnews_facts: Beyoncé and Jay Z are the only black artists alive to have more than four multi platinum albums. http://t.co/jz9syz6HOa
Who gives a f***?
YAASS The Queen actually makes records outside of a singles chart!! <3
doesnt that record only counts as long as they stay alive? Like is she-god forbids- dies tomorrow its no longer a record right?
What? I highly doubt she will die tomorrow though! kii Anything to try and discredit her success! Even if they “died” tomorrow, they would still be on the list of black artists with over 4 multi platinum albums, and the YOUNGEST!
SMH!

SNOOP DOGG ALL HAVE 6 MULTI PLAT PLAGUES AND THEY ARE ALL ALIVE
IM SURE THERE IS MORE AND YOU WOULD HAVE REALISED THAT IF YOU HAD ACTUALLY CONDUCTED RESEARCH
DEATH@ Beysus making you pressed bothered b****** go and research! Bey making another record. You wasn’t having that huh? lmaooo
It’s not my tweet…
DEATH @ “PLAT PLAGUES” and “REALISED”
.
Looks like you need to conduct research in a dictionary first! 😉
Realise = correct in the UK, Australia, and other English-speaking nations using the English tyle of spelling. (I’M NOT AMERICAN)
Realize = American
As for the other word it was a minor mistake on my behalf but it’s better than confusing sale and sell 😉
DO NOT TRY ACT LIKE YOU GOT A PHD IN ENGLISH WHEN THE YOUR DISGUSTING GRAMMATICAL ERROR SAY OTHERS WISE NOW BE BLESSED
I don’t “act” like I have a PhD in English. I just find it funny that so many people try to come for other’s grammatical errors and telling them to conduct research, when they can’t spell! tis all!
THAT’S ALL* 🙄
I REST MY CASE BUT HEY I’LL LET YOU BE 😉
Take that s*** to a Beyonce post. Her fans on here are so immature.
I do love Letoya! I want an new album from her!
Same.
No Toya !!! She Needs a Label to push the material . Not saying she should of stayed with Capitol because we the fans was basically telling them what singles to push but another label . But wish her the very best
Major labels and R&B artists (unless you’re already established like Beyoncé) don’t mix.
I agree. And sometimes, the established artists struggle with the direction and distribution of labels. I just don’t think record labels know what they are doing anymore, more specifically with R&B artists.
I’m iffy for the independent route for LeToya & Chrisette bc I prefer them under mainstream labels with mainstream distribution,but their pockets will be in a better place. I really appreciate the quality of their work/artistry, so as long as music is released, my soul can be undisturbed.
I actually like that Lyrica Anderson girl. She’s good.

WTH you talking about Bey making independent moves this year? The same heffa who tried to convince people back in 2011 that she was her own manager later on revealing she did in fact have a manager?
When did she reveal that?
3 who’s
@musicnews_facts: Did you know Beyoncé sold over 50 million records during her ‘Sasha Fierce’ era. http://t.co/JQkc8pJ570
Ummm good for her? But what does that have to do with this post?
@GagaLovesBey: RT @Bey_Legion: Basically, anything Beyoncé does breaks records at this point. http://t.co/A3OrgRaxKm
Stop trying to make Lyrica Anderson happen!
If you ran here to say that, she’s already happened.
I love Letoya, she always comes through with QUALITY and sweet, strong vocals. She’s always working. Much respect to her!!! I can’t get with Chrisette. Her first two albums were amazing, but she lost me after that. I don’t know who the other one is.
Im ready for new Letoya music I wanna see some promo vids for Im Ready or Together
you forgot to mention LeToya landed a role on The Rock’s show on HBO… we better start getting some real new music after these shows air! can’t wait
