That would have been a perfect review except for the mention of Beyonce and DC. It’s pretty damn clear to me that LeToya has earned the right to be just that, LETOYA!!!!!

I LOVE the album and would purchase it even if it wasn’t hot, because of how bad she was done by Matthew Knowles. But they say success is the best revenge so LeToya, I hope you’re basking in it now!!!

GREAT photos and album!!!

Letoya ’s album will prove to be a success by the most traditional and most old fashioned of ways, through word of mouth.

99% of the reviews from the people who bought the album love it, and deem it one of if not the best R&B album of the year… That says a lot.

If the people who got and love the album get people they know to go buy the album, like we all did years ago when a good album came out, then Letoya’s album will be a true success. SCREW the label’s lack of promotion.

We, her fans can do this!!!!!

Get the album!!!!

You won’t “Regret” it!

karma is a beeeeotch ….. get it toya girl …you doin the damn thang … will pay full price for this…. no bootlegg lol

This album is HOT!
DL it on Itunes and you get an exclusive unreleased track called “Don’t Let me Get Away”, and you can only get it by buying the CD on Itunes!!!

I just bought Letoya’s album. Great album from start to finish! I love dam near every song! Letoya went grown and sexy on us without all of that pop music like the other members of DC. She’s the only artist I know that has mature from her freshmen cd to her sophmore cd. She also is the only one who is staying real to what has gotten her here (R&B). This is the best female cd of the year. To bad BET,MTV, and the others are going to overlook her for the regulars. She may not sell like the regulars but her cd is awesome 4.5/5.

I purchased her album this morning and I must tell you, it’s absolutely amazing!!!! I did not buy the first cd although, I did like the song “Torn” to be honest, I just never paid much attention to her seeing as though, out of all the Destiny’s Child members, I was only checking for Beyonce who seems to constantly be the best promoted artist out.(Hell I loveeee Kelly Rowland but couldn’t even bring myself to purchase hers) Anyhow, I heard a few previews and was impressed enough to go buy it on the exact release date (Aug 25th) today. I have not taken that cd out at all..It really can be left to play all the way through without skipping songs which really is very rare now-a-days…The production on the album is great and I enjoy the lyrics. My faves on the album are: “Lady Love” “She aint got” “Not anymore” “Lazy” “Good to me” “Over” “I need a u” “Tears” and “Dont need u” If you are still on the fence about this one…take it from me, you will not be disappointed!!!!… Much success Toya, this album got you a newfound fan!!!….

shes tight she can sing

got ur hiphop shit here

You forgot to mention Regret. That is my favorite!! Her Luda killed it!

WOW!

This is the 1st time atleast 95% of the comments of an artist’s album is positive.

I am not surprised. The album is dope and flows from start to finish.

Just read the comment comparing a track on this to ‘fullmoon’ and ‘Aaliyah’ but I think on the real, it’s the 1st time in ages an album’s whole concept flows freely like we have seen on ‘fullmoon’ and ‘Aaliyah’

People just stack songs from here and there together nowadays on an album trying to please every tom dick and harry. Toya is cleverly asserting her image, persona and identity on this album. She knows who she is and she has delivered that to us.

Now if the damn record labels eff this ish up with the wrong promotion or lack thereof…

Toya better bring it live.

Hot album from LeToya love it. Lady luck is a great album. LeToya is so damn sexy.

After all the positive comments, lets hope the album does well. I’ll be buying my copy at the end of the week when I get some extra duckets.

…and hell yeah she is prettier than beyonce

HOT HOT HOT!!! BEST R&B ALBUM OF ‘09.

If she doesn’t get any Grammy nods this time…SOMETHING is gravely WRONG with the industry.

I really hope her insisting on dropping 8/25 will prove to be valuable (she barely made the Grammy deadline). I REALLY hope she gets the recognition at this years award ceremony.

Me likey!!!

Very good Album, good lookin out my CL ppl’s
I downdloaded it off I tunes after i read the first 30 reviews!!!!! (i previewed of course)

But overall i like the album alot. I pray she doesn’t go under the radar with this album and promotion like the first CD.

Happy to have a FULL good album. Tired of the usual ppl and sh*t out right now.

WORD OF MOUTH IS BEST PROMOTION LIKE SOMEONE ON HERE SAID!!

CIAO!

I give it a listen later tonight. If I like it, I’ll buy it next wk since I just bought music today on iTunes (Arctic Monkeys album came out tonight and that’s my fave band).

Yes I will be getting it!!! She sounds great and we have some true R&B with this one. I haven’t bought an album in a while that I can listen to from beginning to end without skipping several songs but this one you won’t have to skip over anything. The girl continues to work, can’t hate on that.

I need her and her team to promote the hell out of this album. Especially given that Whitney comes out next week. This is the time for her and her team to make a statement to the world that she can hold her own and is her own person and not just a “former member” but a bonafide solo artist. I need to see and hear her on all kinds of shows in the weeks and months to come.

Quality music strictly on this album. Like most of the other comments and reviews have stated this album is a very decent/exceptional effort musically.

I haven’t heard an R&B albumn from a female album this pleasing to my ears from start to finnish in a very long time. It seems that everyone throws “singles” (or garbage) on an album in hopes of gaining airplay, sales etc. Or veer off into “popular sounds at the time. This seems more genuine. It showcases both her talent, growth. I hope that she has been working on her stage performance to take her career to the next level with the complete package.

Mad Props LeToya!!!

Omg!!! This album is soo damn good!!! I’m in love with “Tears” it reminds me of something off brandy’s Full Moon album and that cd is my sh!t.

Got the album this 2-day. Wow. I’m surprised the album is really good. I’m happy so many of yall or being 4-real and not hating. She really did a good job. Her voice has gotten a lot stronger. Go Toya

Amazing album. Beautiful pictures. O, and I can’t wait for Preacher’s Kid. And btw this woman is a great role model. She is the prime example of what you do when haters try to knock u down, get back up and give it all u got. Luv u Letoya

Soo after reading all the comments on here about her album I decided to listen to all of the songs and like a few of them. I can’t really listen to a song once and like it right away - I usually have to listen to it 2-3 times (unless it’s like hip hop and the beat is really good I can get into it) until I start liking it so that’s why I don’t like every song on the album. The songs I do like are:
- Not Anymore; Looove this song. The first 3 times I heard it on tv I hated it but I love it now and I’m always singing it.
- Over; Pretty good
- Regret; I only like Luda’s part though.
- I Need A U; I really like this song.
- Drained; I’m feeling this one
- Tears; Like it
- Love Rollercoaster; I loooove LeToya’s parts
- Lazy; Not the best song but I like it cause I can relate

So I like 8 songs on the album and I’m pretty sure if I listened to the rest of the songs more than once I’d love all of them. Really hope this album does well, I like LeToya.

I’m not sure why but I really like this girl. I bought the album instead of boot-legging it like I always do. Hot Shitz

Letoya u really are a beautiful woman inside and out. I know u remember when u signed my cd in 06 on sac’s. I’ll never 4-get.

Great album boo. I hope the album gets the props it deserves. You blew up even though they tried to hold you back, knocking you off the bet awards. And the show was still garbage. What goes around comes around though. Wish you the best of luck.

Toya is really a beautiful woman. Getting the album 2-morrow. Cant F-ing wait!

I’m listening Lady Love album right now. So far all the songs are straight. Mid tempo

Dis chic is bout to kill da game. 2010 is yourz! u bout 2 be dat bitch! Get ready and please stay humble, sweet and classy

JUDAH,

“I see that she has the egg-shaped earrings on in honor of the love goddess Ishtar and she has her arms crossed in honor of the god Osiris and her spiritual transformation.”

—
What?? I have ‘egg-shaped earrings’ so does that mean I’m wearing them in honour of whoever Ishtar is? OR does these stupid things you come up with only apply to celebrities? Ughh!

Okay dis album is super edgey. Toya is really trying to get out of the D.C., I’m so innocent and cute mode. Chic is straight cuttin up on album. HOT

beautiful woman, amazing voice go Toya

i actually like her cd better than beyonce and i love me some sasha fierce lol i am glad i bought ladylove

great album , Lazy is a tight song, Cause sometimes u just dnt feel like lovin some one anymore, lol Great great album another #1 multi platinum album…In jesus Name! lol u can do all things through christ jesus! and no wepon formed aginst u will prosper! LOL

Regret is da hottest song on album

Just got da album!

@ Levi H, u are so rite. God has been with her all this time though. her career is prospering nicely. Even with people trying to hold her back, her career is still doing great. Her album is fire and i’m bout to piss my pants waiting for the Preacher’s Kid movie

Hope all yall that say yall did really went out and copped the album. I got mine earlier this afternoon. I was never going to buy it until I saw the Beyonce stans hating on her snippets on that other post that was posted a few weeks ago. I’m so glad I did because I LOVE IT!!!!! Its only one song I don’t like which is Regret. To me the beat is so typical. But overall 4.5 stars!!!!

i just bought her cd,too. I like it better than Beyonce, I bought it because of all the hating she was getting from Beyonce’s fans. I ‘m glad I bought it too. One of the better cd from a female since Fantasia, Keshia 2nd cd, and MJ. I lovvvvve it! Go letoya, make some noise with your singing ass. I thought she was tone deaf . I can’t tell after listen to Lazy and Good to me!!!! Her voice is just as strong as the ones who said she couldn’t sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i was surprised at how GOOD the album is!!! i like just about all of the tracks except for “love rollercoaster” and “afterparty.” my favorites are “tears,” “good to me,” “i need a you” and “don’t need you.”

thank you letoya for delivering a SOLID R&B effort! thank you, thank you, thank you!

A follow up to #81 Idk what the hell I was thinking I left off 2 more of my fave tracks “Tears” and “Regret” again I just have to reiterate this cd is total bliss if you havent purchased it please do so..we gotta support the good music..thats the only way these record companies will realize there is still some of us that appreciate good quality music over the garbage they put out just to generate sales!!!!

Absulutely love the album and my favorites are lady love,regret,lazy,good to me,take away love drained and tears oh i can’t forget over.

Okay, I love the album! Let me just say that! I’m jus so excited for her. I went to watch her on Twitter LIVE last nite and she’s jus so humble and REALLy appreciates her REAL FANS! And thats what I love so much about her. She also mentioned the lack of PROMO for this album as well, but she said at the end of the day its being released and its for her fans so that made her happy.

GOOD TO ME is my fav rite now! She KILLS it! Also Tears…After Party…is NOT lame! Its a feel good song! I just love Toya…and I really hope people go out and support….she worked really hard and its her best material to date! SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST ALBUM! I’m jus so proud of her.

LaTavia loves the album too..she was live with her on Twitter and she was beggin Toya for a copy! lol…its so good to see those two still close as ever. Can’t wait for Tavia’s book! Suppose to be JUICY!

And to haters..TRUST ME its worth the buy..its a great R&B album. It kills me how peeps keep sayin its TOO SLOW but if she would have came with club bangers then the complaint would have been ITS TOO HOOD! So watever..there’s never any pleasing people. Hate it or Love it…Toya is here to STAY!

I love the album. Bought a copy as soon as I could make it to the Best Buy, which was sold out so I had to go to Target. Get this CD if you love R&B!!!!!

Have been listening to the cd on repeat since i bought @ Target this afternoon. Wow! so many great songs “Tears” is on repeat, “Regret” is my shit!, “Lazy” i love all of them except for “after party” otherwise she did a fantastic job for her sophomore. Although, it hasn’t been advertised that much, she has a strong fan base and will do well im sure. Go Team Letoya!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Love is an excellent sophomore album. I thought the first was good but this one blows it out the water!

[...] dropping her self-titled debut in 2006, this time around Miss Luckett not only flexes her vocal muscles but does a good job of it—which is more than we can say for a lot of singers these [...]

JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM…SHE AINT GOT IS MY SHITTT

I am in love with “TEARS.”

I bought the album from itunes this afternoon, and I finally got a chance to listen to the whole album after the busy day I’ve had and I have to say I love the album. Every track is banging with the exception of a few tracks that I just think are ok. My absolute favorites right now are Regret (I had that ish on repeat quite a few times tonight and Luda killed the feature), Lazy, Love Roller Coaster, Over, and even the bonus track from itunes Don’t Let Me Get Away is great. LeToya did just what I wanted : make a genuine R&B album. By genuine I mean one that is not thrown together and not chasing these silly music trends like auto tune. This is an album I can bump from years from now and will not sound out dated. Good job LeToya on another solid album!

I may actually give her a try this time. I’ll give the album a full listen this week.

Never paid the girl much attention and I friend came running to me saying “I HAD TO HEAR THIS ALBUM” and I gave it a listen. As a musician trained in Opera and classically trained on the piano, she earned my support on her musicianship alone. The lyrical content and vocal harmonies and unique soprano flair of her voice blew me away. I will purchase this album at my first opportunity and would urge anyone who wants a quality to do the same. Best R&B album of the year

STAND OUTS : Over, Good To Me, Regret, Take Away Love, I Need A U, Tears

MATTER [prime example of vocal muscianship]!

Thank yall, I have never commented on a board before.

I absolutely love this album. Well I love the first one too! LeToya really has proved that she does not have to stand on the past to keep herself relevant. The trillest H-Town chick to grace the music scene. Keep doing you Miss Lady L!!!!

why does this particular comment section feel like one big ad for her album? I thought her first album was OK, but there are some really talented singers out there being overlooked. She’s good, like Ashanti good, but she doesn’t have a standout voice really…

TEARS.. ALL DAY LONG!

Fabulous album! Got it this morning. You should too!

I brought the Cd last night and I thought After Party sound great but over all the CD is great. I still think she needs a better promotor or publicist to really push her out there because she’s very talent and I’m wish her well.

i love the album….much betta then the 1st

Love the album I adore ‘Regret’ , ‘Matter’ and ‘I need a U’ the most, Its so
nice to have an r&b album that is actually rnb and not all electro tinged . synthed out
etc. This is definitely one of the better r&b albums that I have heard in while !

This album is just AMAZING!!! I MEAN REALLY REALLY AMAZING.

I pretty much like every track except Rollercoaster & Swagger.

Tears>>>
Over>>
Lady Love>>
Take Away Love>>
Drained>>>
Lazy>>>
I Need A U>>>
After Party>>>>
She Aint Got>>>
Regret>>>>
Good To Me>>
Don’t Need U>>>
Matter>>
Not Anymore>>>

I mean the entire album is just perfect!!!

@ gg boo

agreed! it’s like a mini promotion article cause i feel like most people are exaggerating a lil with their reviews. those of you getting mad at people who think some songs remind them of others, please stfu. we’re all entitled to our opinions. they all copy each other in the music industry so the likelihood of two songs having similar lyrics/beat is expected. regardless though, her album is pretty good, not as amazing as people are making it sound, but i like it. i hope she makes it far this time around.

Was it that difficult to keep Beyonce’s name out of Toya’s review?

^^^ Are you talking about the “Regret” “Upgrade U” comparison? I’m a fan of LeToya and Beyonce…but I honestly don’t see it. Sorry. They are coming from two completely different angles. Beyonce WANTS to lavish him with gifts, and LeToya is saying “damn don’t you miss it”….lol.

Other than talking about material things, and adding a rap feature….they aren’t that similar. Not even musically. Just another cheap shot at LeToya, by comparing her to Beyonce. Yall need to let..it…go! The girls are over it, yall should be too….lol.

@ 130. DD….I think her promotion will be better in coming weeks, because she just hired JEFF ROBINSON, Alicia Key’s manager….so hopefully that’ll help.

FYI, My comments were for STOP not ANDREA3000….

Yall need to cop this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s seriously hot, you WON’T be disappointed.

Nothing that I can say that hasn’t already been said . Fantastic album!! I am taking a trip this weekend and will be in the car for many hours…..so this is perfect cd to jam to. I Need A U is my sh*t.

I LOVE LETOYA!!!!!

I alway like letoya from the dc days. I got her first album. Im going to get my copy tomorrow. Go letoya.

lol @ Ashanti name comin up.. I’m sorry but I’ll be laughin about that all day.. I have no further comment on that one..

This album is asolutely amazing though.. It’s just a particular TYPE of R&B that LeToya is delivering is appealing to people who love mature sounds, but also like a lil street flair, a little fun. Very much like Brandy and Aaliyah would do.. Even Monica. Bran, LiLi, and Mo found the perfect balance between pop and R&B, and most importantly found their own SOUND and delivered cohesive efforts time after time. Toya even dedicated her album to Aaliyah on U-stream the night before last because she realized what she brought to the game and to honor her on the day she passed.

No, I doubt these comments are fake or whatever.. Her album really is that good. I’m copping mine after work today!

And I guess we cant really say anything about bringing Whatsherface’s name up because Angel did it (unnecessarily I might add).. Luckily people are staying on topic and ignoring the foolishness.

Make Toya album # 1 Its worth it go out and support.

This c.d is off the chain. I listened to the cd from the time i got home at 7pm, and I woke up to it still on repeat. I normally dont buy cds…the last one i bought before this one was Alicia Keys As i Am…Please go pick up the album….my favs are Good to me, Drained, Lazy, Tears, Matter, and Over

I bought it yesterday, BTW its only $9 at Target and I love the CD

I liked Letoya on her 1st album, when I met her she was very humble.

But this time, she’s fake. Trying to be like Beyonce. I thought Letoya would be nicer, but she’s just as sad.

I dont think i will buy the bootleg wanna be like beyonce album, because Letoya is a fraud and not the real thing, I thought she was going to be real… this girl is as fake as a frontlace on Ciara’s head…

I love reading all the postive reviews and Letoya’s CD is good old fresh R&B. I love everything about it. Letoya’s vocal are so much more powerful now than ever before. She is great and doing her thing. Love you Toy!

P.S. Why do ya have to bring up Beyonce’s name……………………….Things were going so good until her name came in the picture.

I just wanted to say that post #66 completely plagiarized my amazon.com and my letoyanews.com review. While I’m flattered, I do not appreciate someone else, especially a female, taking the credit for my God given gifts. Here’s the link to the amazon.com review that was stolen: http://www.amazon.com/Lad...T6OP32/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi

#46…your reaching…for real!

I am so pleased with the positive comments about LeToya’s album. Listening to it right now…VERY GOOD. I am one the like vocals and not screaming!!! And Toya knows her range and stays there…pushing her self just enough. You can tell that her control and pure vocal ability have progressed. Very nice tunes…catchy lyrics…

Toya, get your outfit ready..cause girl, this is another PLATINUM album.

I thought this was being over hyped BUT i decided too give it a chance.

What really impressed me about this is that there are alot of tracks and the album is really consistant where u barely skip tracks.

She may not have the biggest voice but she definately knows how to channel her voice on making a really tight album.
Alot of albums been dissapointing and too poppy so i’m thankful this is 95% R&B with a few pop records inputted.

Keri & LeToya’s are the only albums by women i could play from start to finish this year.

Well Done LeToya on creating a hot album
