Free Music Notes for Turn Me Loose
Free Music Review: Question: How does a singer like Ledisi outdo herself?
Hit: 5 Stars
Answer: By creating an album like Turn Me Loose.
She really outdid herself on this one, ya'll. You can just feel her pushing herself outside of her comfort zone until she does in fact seem comfortable in this new territory. Change is a constant theme throughout the album and it is brilliantly woven through songs using the word 'change' in the title or in the lyrics.
So, yes, it is different from her previous albums, but this one is extremely entertaining, empowering and energizing. Ledisi has that voice and that style that makes you sit, smile and stare at your car stereo wondering how the heck she is able to do all those great vocal acrobatics she's known for. Then, of course, you're compelled to sing along (as best you can, at least, because her voice is like whoa.)
I'm the sing-along type who learns the lyrics to songs in a matter of days, and lyrically (and vocally), Ledisi really SOARS on TML. She's a fun lyricist, but she doesn't limit herself to what's written. She's a master at ad libbing and I enjoy listening to how she creatively fills the music, especially towards the end of her songs, with impromptu words, phrases, scatting, ooos and ahhhs.
Some reviewers seem to be having a hard time with Ledisi's new sound on TML, but if you keep listening, playing the album each day, I'm sure you'll find that you like where she's headed.
My favorite songs? All of them! It's a complete work of art. But if I was forced to choose, I'd choose "Everything Changes" and "I Need Love." The first captures the vibe of the whole album; the second is just a straight up banger.
So, be open-minded, give it a listen, then give it another listen. And then another listen. You'll like it. Trust me. Aight, peace.
Turn Me Loose Poster
2009 album from the Grammy Award-nominated vocalist featuring songs produced by Raphael Saadiq, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Chief XCel, Chucky Thompson, Rex Rideout and others. Although Ledisi was a seasoned artist before joining Verve, she says she is still finding herself musically. Turn Me Loose is a turning point in her artistic evolution. "During the making of this record, I was asking myself, 'How do I maintain the listeners I have now and be myself as I today? That was the struggle. But I knew I needed to stretch myself and be more open to different people." Features the first single 'Goin' Thru Changes'.Jazz Music CDs
