Hit: 5 Stars

I saw Laura Izibor when she opened for Maxwell in June 2009 at Dodge Theatre in Phoenix. Not only did she sound amazing, she was personable, funny, and she obviously belonged on that stage. She performed a few songs with only an accompanying guitar and played along on piano on a few others. She told great stories describing how she came to write each song. Each time she finished performing a song, I would hear someone around me in the theatre saying, "She's good." I was thinking the same thing and I wondered why I had never heard of her and why she was not already huge. I also knew it was just a matter of time.

"Let the Truth Be Told" has become my favorite album of 2009 (yes, I know the year is not over yet). Laura Izibor has a strong, soulful voice, expressing great emotion as she performs these highly personal songs. Laura wrote all songs and played piano on all tracks. She will be compared to India Arie for her positive strength and to Alicia Keys as a soulful singer, songwriter, pianist. This is one of those albums you put on and let play all the way through, no fast-forwarding through the "filler" songs.

The album begins with the bouncy, bubbly, poppy "Shine." Great song to listen to while trying to find your motivation on your way to work. I'm a sucker for strings and there are plenty on this album. Most notably on "Perfect World," which is what I call a perfect song: wonderful lyrics, excellent singing, beautiful music, great production. Perfect. It's not about your clothes or what you have, keep ya money. Laura sings, "Baby don't you know you're all I need." This is my favorite song on the album.

A close second is "Yes (I'll Be Your Baby)." Laura's voice has a slight reggae feel on this. Great head-bobbing drum and bassline. Listen closely for the whiny, wah wah guitar. Funky! Also, this song is just screaming to be on someone's movie soundtrack. During her concert, Laura described writing "The Worst is Over" to a friend who was in a bad relationship, but would/could not leave it. This is a completely relatable song; I think we have all been there. Again with the strings and Laura takes it to church on this tune. Beautiful. "I Don't Want You Back" is soulful, mournful and tells the story of realizing that sometimes the best thing to do is just let someone go.

Laura is opening for John Legend in some of his 2009 shows. Interestingly, I would describe Laura's voice on a few songs as sounding like a female version of John Legend, so that is definitely a great concert match. If you have a chance, go check out a live show. In the meantime, get this album!

Let the Truth Be Told Poster

'The foundation begins with soul,' explains 22-year-old singer/songwriter/producer Laura Izibor of her passionate, piano-guided songs. On her forthcoming debut album, Izibor continues the lineage set out by artists like Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott; artists who combine a reverence for the traditions of early R&B with a thoroughly modern sensibility. After one listen to the powerful, honey-tinged vocals on Let The Truth Be Told, one thing is for sure. For Laura Izibor, it s got to be real.
