Ledisi
was reunited with
Dedry Jones host of the one and only
" The Music Experience" and it was fantastic! Ledisi gave the audience insight on her life and music, we are so excited to have her back in Chicago because her performances are so personal and that's how this appearance was, she gave us 30 minuets performing songs
from her newly released CD
" Turn Me Loose". Ledisi didn't want to play it safe on this CD. With help from the four other producers (Ivan & Carvin, Chief Xcel, Chucky Thompson & Fyre Dept), the artist braided brilliant strains of the different sounds she loved while growing up in Oakland, Calif. Rock, blues, classic soul, funk and hip-hop are all fused together throughout
"Turn Me Loose". Ledisi often merges the old with the new. The funky title track, for instance, updates the sassy grooves of vintage Stax. As a tribute to Buddy Miles, Ledisi does a cover of "Them Changes" as a bonus track on the new album. The artist flirts with different genres throughout, but her elastic, Chaka Khan-influenced vocals still anchor everything.
The approach comes close to matching the let-it-all-go energy of her stage shows. Turn Me Loose is a turning point in
her artistic evolution.
