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 + MP3 DOWNLOAD

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.
