You Will Like This if You Like: Kerry Hilson, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna
Released: February 2013

Late last year, following the BET aired Soul Train Music Awards, we talked up relative newcomer Leah Labelle, who appeared on the show in a segment honoring soul legends.  Her performance of Square Biz was honorable enough to get our staff searching for more of her music to bring you.  We found the super (but slept on) single “Sexify” and hoped this Pharrell Williams produced artist would break through commercial radio.  Although she experienced some regional success, nothing has broken through just yet.

Leah Labelle – Sexify FULL STREAM

November 28, 2012 by Comments

Artist:  Leah Labelle
Title:  Sexify
Label:  So So Def/Epic

Earlier this week, following the BET aired Soul Train Music Awards, we talked up relative newcomer Leah Labelle, who appeared on the show in a segment honoring soul legends.  Her performance of Square Biz was honorable enough to get our staff searching for more of her music to bring you.  After learning that she was a contestant on season 3 of American Idol, which was won by Fantasia, we soon discovered that she has been signed to a major deal and a single has been floating around for a while now called Sexify.  We love this mid tempo tune and hope that it will help propel this new voice to the top of the charts.  With folks like Pharrell and Jermaine Dupris involved, she’s got a great shot.

Grade:  A-

Centric Presents “The Soul Train Awards 2012″ [VIDEO RECAP]

November 26, 2012 by Comments

Last night’s BET televised and Centric produced Soul Train Awards, which was deftly hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, were really incredible.  Despite missing some of the Sunday evening football games, we watched, sang and rejoiced with the lot of incredible performances that were featured.  Among those performing were soulful superstars Stevie Wonder, Tyrese, Tank, Anthony Hamilton, Leah LaBelle, Fantasia, and Charlie Wilson among others.    New Edition brought down the house with a rousing medley of hits from their heyday including a Bobby Brown led Mr. Telephone Man and a seat clearing rendition of their classic If It Isn’t Love.

We’ve compiled the best of the web for this recap in case you missed it.

Leah Labelle – Betcha By Golly Wow (Stylistics Cover) FULL STREAM + MP3 DOWNLOAD

November 26, 2012 by Comments

Anyone who checked out last night’s Soul Train Music Awards saw a relatively new voice step to the fore.  This lovely young lady, Leah Labelle, appeared in a medley of Soul Train greats which included Blue Eyed soul legend Teena Marie.  We have to be honest that based on her looks alone, we had to take a further listen.   When digging for more of this singer, we came across several examples of her vocal abilities, which we have to say are quite impressive.  She is not blowing you away like Fantasia (who won Season 3 of American Idol, on which Leah appeared) or similarly named Patti Labelle, but she does an impressive job at delivering a soul classic first sung by The Stylistics.   Enjoy and look forward to seeing and hearing more from this young lady since she has been working with Jermaine Dupris and Pharrell Williams.

Bobby Brown – Don’t Let Me Die FREE MP3 Download

May 9, 2012 by Comments

Artist: Bobby Brown
Title: Don’t Let Me Die
Release Date: May 9, 2012

This new Bobby Brown song is great. Period.  In it, you can hear true passion and pain in his voice as he seems to be singing to his recently departed ex-wife Whitney Houston.  His new album, Masterpiece, will be released on June 5 and is rumored to include some his most personal songs to date. We got the pleasure of seeing New Edition on their recent performance at Madison Square Garden’s theater and we can definitely say Bobby still has it.  While his voice seemed a little strained on classics like Jealous Girl, he tore the house down with My Prerogative from his classic Don’t Be Cruel LP.  We are hopeful that Bobby will take his impeding re-emergence in the right direction.  We don’t need to see another Being Bobby Brown reality show. Enjoy.
