New Song: Ledisi – ‘This Bitter Earth’ [from the ‘For Dinah’ Tribute Album]

Ledisi may have just wrapped the ‘Love You Too Tour‘ in June in support of her last traditional studio effort, ‘The Crown,’ but she’s wasting little time getting back on the road to showcase material from her forthcoming tribute album to Blues and Jazz pioneer Dinah Washington.

“Before there was Aretha, there was Dinah. She deserves to be recognized in today’s music as well,” Ledisi said of the upcoming project due October 3.

Ahead of it release and a supportive tour in accompaniment, the GRAMMY winner has lifted the lid on one of its eight tracks as a lead single: ‘This Bitter Earth.’

A #1 hit on the R&B charts for Washington in 1960, Ledisi is undoubtedly hoping to repeat the feat with her stirring rendition of the timeless classic.
