LEDISI – LET LOVE RULE
Ledisi announced her new project Let Love Rule, out
September 22 . The nine-time Grammy nominated vocalist, is excited to share her
new body of work with the world as she delivers brand new vibes with classic
vocals. Packed with raw, unequivocal emotion, the 15-track album showcases her
evolution as an artist; executive produced by Ledisi and longtime collaborator
Rex Rideout, the album also includes contributions from John Legend, DJ Camper,
BJ The Chicago Kid and Kirk Franklin. “I feel like Let Love Rule made me accept
my position as a great singer fully. All of my projects are pieces of me. This
piece is the singer and the songwriter part of me. I’ve come back to what I
love about R&B and also what I love about today’s music. I love my art in
the middle of era’s and mixing those worlds together." – Ledisi

CHAMPIAN FULTON / SCOTT HAMILTON THINGS WE DID LAST SUMMER
Champian Fulton's in a great setting here – working alongside
tenorist Scott Hamilton, whose presence only seems to deepen the sound of the
record! Make no mistake, Champian's great on her own – a hell of a pianist, and
one with a very strong voice that seems to instantly wrap up generations of
piano jazz expression, but find a way to make it come across fresh and new –
which is very much what Hamilton could do so well in his younger years, which
makes him a great match for Fulton. Champian also sings on the record, too –
although it's clear that the presentation gives most of the focus on the
instrumentation, which is rock-solid throughout. Ignasi Gonzalez is on bass,
and Esteve Pi is on drums – and titles include "Black Velvet",
"I Cried For You", "The Things We Did Last Summer",
"Runnin Wild", "My Future Just Passed", and "When Your
Lover Has Gone". ~ Dusty
