The Answer To Why
Them Changes

Ledisi wanted to make a few bold artistic changes this time out. But just before she started work on her sophomore Verve release, Turn Me Loose, she hit a wall. The singer-songwriter had a bad case of writer's block that stretched for six months. Ledisi was petrified as she tried to figure out how to follow up her 2007 Verve debut, Lost & Found. The album garnered strong reviews and two Grammy® nominations, including one for best new artist.

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."

After Turn Me Loose was completed, Ledisi had a personal epiphany. "You know, I realized that I'm never gonna fit into a box and it's OK, "the artist says. "All I need to do is focus on my music and just go with it. Go with that freedom voice, the voice that goes, 'Ahhhh.'"

When she was invited to play the title lead in the Asian Premiere of the Broadway classic Victor Victoria, she felt overwhelmed by the beauty and power of music in movies and musicals. Going through her repertoire Laura realized that in her career she had recorded over 40 tracks from movies and musicals and decided to put her personal favourites together on this beautiful 2CD package. This is smooth, creamy, velvety and altogether delicious!
