Premiere: Video: “Regret” by LeToya featuring Ludacris

LeToya’s album wasn’t promoted properly. But, that is not stopping her from releasing singles from Lady Love. The singles have been quite good including “She Ain’t Got No Shit On Me” and ” Not Anymore.” This is the third single, but if the record company had any sense they would release “Drained.”

LeToya Luckett surprised everyone when her debut album LeToya debuted at the top spot in the US charts. So much so that the wait for the second album intensified due to the speculation that she might ring up another number one, a feat that Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Solange Knowles wish for. So, her second album Lady Love has come out this week and the numbers are looking grim.

LaToya Jackson believes her brother Michael was murdered for money. She says she knows the perpetrators and is determined to see them brought to justice. She accused the unnamed conspirators of controlling her brother by providing access to addictive drugs.

“Less than a month ago, I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart. He was worth more dead than alive. I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved; rather it was a conspiracy of people.”

Must-Watch: Video: “She Ain’t Got Shit On Me” by LeToya

Even if this is yet another blame-the-woman-for-the-man’s-infidelity ditties, we likes it. She is bringing the fierceness on big-time. The dance routine is sex and the beat is working. The album, Lady Love, has been pushed back, probably because the lead single and equally-scrumptious song “Not Anymore” didn’t build-up enough interest. So, we get two singles before the release. Last time she managed to get to #1 on the Billboard Album charts, which means she has a lot of buyers.

Video: “Not Anymore” by LeToya Luckett

One of the three that Beyonce kicked out from Destiny’s Child is back and kicking around. “Not Anymore” is LeToya Luckett’s first second off of her second album. Her first album did well in the states and this looks like a continuation of that streak, but nothing is new here, really. the video’s nicer than I expected, though.

Shontelle’s album is a grower…

shon1As much as I love R&B, I feel like sometimes it gets all muddled up in the hype and plateaus for a bit (jackswing? crunk?). It is best when soul and sultry. Shontelle’s horribly named debut Shontelligence seems like a promising reformist record with a hint of reggae. Now let’s hope all of these are: Ciara’s Fantasy Ride (highly unlikely), Lady Love by LeToya (maybe), Pulse by Toni Braxton (she “doesn’t have a single hip hop bone” in her body), Love, Tweet by Tweet (if she dumps Missy), Monica’s Still Standing (again, if she dumps Missy Elliott) and Whitney’s tentatively titled Undefeated.
