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.

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.

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.
