Music Monday: Ledisi!



Ledisi Landscape

Hey Cupcakes,


Singer Ledisi wanted to make a few bold artistic changes this time out. But just before she started work on her sophomore release, Turn Me Loose, she hit a wall. The singer-songwriter had a bad case of writer's block that stretched for six months. Ledisi was petrified as she tried to figure out how to follow up her debut, Lost & Found. The album garnered strong reviews and two Grammy nominations.

NOW: 'Turn Me Loose' - Available Everywhere August 18th!
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/ledisi

Fans in the NYC or DC area have a chance to attend an exclusive Ledisi album release event!

Be one of the lucky few to celebrate the release of Ledisi’s new album 'Turn Me Loose' with her in NYC at (Le) Poisson Rouge! The event will include Ledisi performing songs from her new album and an album signing! Here’s how you can get in: purchase the album at J&R on August 18th and receive a wristband (one per album while supplies last), listen to WBLS and text to win, or visit the Carol’s Daughter stores in Harlem or Brooklyn for a chance to win.**Entry to the event is only available to those with wristbands.
