her pics are pretty nice
i wish her well on her album sells
=]

GREAT REVIEW Latifah, I always like your reviews (& J.Dakars). This album was better than I expected and Letoya is exuding confidence and positivity! Great buy.

JUST GOT HER ALBUM TODAY STILL LISTENING TO IT SO FAR IT’S HOT.

I already have my copy of the album…I picked it up at 9:30am this morning! And I LOVE IT!!!!! Do yourself a favor,— go and pick up Lady Love!

This album was better than I expected!! I’m soooo proud of her, very good look! Definitely worth buying (Don’t do bootleg)…hers and Keri were definitely two good R&B CD’s for this year….H-Town in the building by the way!!!!

I will actually be purchasing! I love “regret”

LAZY IS A REAL LADIES ANTHEM

and tears is wonderful

Just got my copy. The album is great! She has a few album fillers but def a classic and step up from her last album. It actually has a true classic R&B vibe with great vocals. Its great, def worth a buy

I love that she is back in the game! Definetely supporting. Do it Toya!

Worth a listen

Just be GOOOOOOOOOD To Meeeeeeeeeeee

This track shooot way up my ranking after her belting after the bridge. QUALITY vocals on that I love the feel of this track.

The whole Album is easy on the ear…

Lady Love: Great 80’s vibe to bump ya head to.. Love the intro to the song 4/5

She Aint Got: Super crossover track which could work very well in europe and globally more so than USA. Great energy! 4/5

Not Anymore: I actually wondered why this was a single at 1st but all the catchy parts of the song made it grow on me and I appreciated the meaning of the song but not my 1st single choice. 3/5

Lazy: Out of the 1st batch of songs from the Lady Love era this one really impressed me and i was dying for it to be a single as I thought that this has a perfect blend of R&B with a Pop edge. Style of wording and strong vocals make this one of my top songs = 4.75/5

Good To Me: This suits LeToya’s voice soo well the arrangement with that “prince & dream” sound. The vocals after the bridge just made my head stand up & say DAMN!!!! LeToya has come far with full voice stamina vocals and is on full display. 5/5(vocals made this mark)

Over: Silky smooth R&B song telling it as it is if Mr. Man messes up real BAD. Very strong album track = 4.5/5

Regret: Hip-Hop/R&B fusion of Excellence as i love the attitude that L.Luck is bringing to this track. Ludacris fits this soooooooo well & brings out a hot verse. For Regretful ones, this is a punch in the face for ya’ll who “still tryin to get back” lol = 4.75/5

I Need A U: Sensual, sexual, sexy, tingling, soothing, smooth, satisfying, deep, yearning, steamy, fulfilling. This is not only to describe the song, but to also compliment how GREAT LeToya’s voice sits on the song YUMMY DESSERT. 5/5

Take Away Love: Love the mood of the beat as another old school 80/90’s soul vibe with that hint of bluesy/jazz. UK’s own Estelle adds her Hip-Hop swagger on the track as well as giving Lady Elle some good advice. ‘Toya sings so smoothy in her comfort zone and just sounds in her element showing off her range in a relaxed manner. Very cool album track = 4.5/5

After Party: Hot vibes and feel good track to jam to. 3.75/5

Drained: Commercial friendly track which compliments the albums direction. It also treats the newer pop fans with this type of song and gives a more verstaile side of LeToya in a different way to the standard R&B. 3.5/5

Tears: BIG!! LeToya took this track up to different levels with the harmonies, vocal arrangements and takes this way past the Asia Cruise version.
Vocals are very much settled to effectively shine on the song and nothing is overdone which makes this a Hot R&B track which just flows to pleasure us fans. 5/5

Matter: LeToya blended her writing skills very well with Marsha Ambrosius on this songs. Silky smooth R&B album filler with pretty vocals and runs. 4/5

Love Rollercoaster: Cool Mims track with Toy adding her sweetness and swagger onto the track..
No sure y its on the album but the more the better lol. 3.5/5

Dont Need U: Strong pop/rnb song with big vocals and a display being strong willed. 4.5/5

Swagger: Love when LeToya does some H-Town hip hop styled tracks and still loving this track. Lady Love season started with this buzz track. “it’s the T-O-Y-A everybody knows”. 4/5

GROWTH IS SUPER & VOCALLY WAY ABOVE 1ST ALBUM THIS IS A HOT & SOLID Album & Worth It..

Great Album!!!

loving to album!! she came strong and fierce!

I bought the album and it is dope.

I LUV KETOYA, I STILL BELEIVE SHE WAS KICKED OUT OF DC CUZ SHE IS PRETTIER THAN BEY & POSED A THREAT!! I WILL COPP THAT 2 DAY!

I can’t wait to buy this album. After hearing many of the songs on the album, it is sounds like a HOT one. I love Letoya and wish her much success on this project. I’m mad it is not getting much promotion. She has stepped it up vocally as well.

That was a great review. Your writing skills are awesome. I may even get the CD.

I bought my copy this morning and i LOVE it. The other comments are correct by saying its a lot better than you would expect. But i am a dedicated Letoya fan and she has defintely matured on this album. I hope she sells. Go pick it up yall its really good.

Luv Luv Luv the CD, I am proud of her. Out of all the Desitny girls, she is doing her own thing with the music and her look. I”m proud of you. I bought two copies.

Good Luck Toya!!

Good Album!!! B+

Pleasantly surprised by this one. I thought this would be more pop but it fits really well in the R&B pocket. I can appreciate that she chose not to hide behind the prodcution and make her voice the focus of this album. Two stand-out tracks that aren’t singles are “Over ” & “Tears”. “Afterparty,” &”Drained,” seem unnecessary. “Good To Me” may have to grow on me though. Overall it’s a solid album.

I tried to order the CD on Bestbuy’s website, but it’s listed as “backordered”, I hope that is a good sign. So, I downloaded it from itunes, and got an extra song. I wanted to have the physical copy deliverered to my house. I guess I’ll have to go out and get one from the store now.. lol

As for my review of the album. I listened to the whole thing. WOW… WOW… WOW… WAYYYY better than I thought it would be. I liked her last album, but this album is much better. She is indeed more confident, and it shows in her vocals for sure.

Toya is really telling different stories of love and pain on this album. REAL R&B. Go GET THIS ALBUM!!!!

‘Toya, do your thaaang!!!

Great R & B Album! She takes me to another level with her vocal style and maturity! I am hopeful she sells more than expected in her 1st week.

Bought it today at Target… $9.98 you can’t beat that!

Wish you much success Toya!!!

I think its a great album, its sad because people will sleep on it because its not what their use to from a real R&B artist. I really hope LaToya does well!!!

No.12 TJ lol at swaggaJackin my review lol but its all good..

V. Good Album and definately a hot R&B album..
It’s good to see great R&B coming back like Ginuwine’s album & Now This Lady Love

This is a big step up from debut album which was cool back in 06 reppin her H-Town..
Loving Obvious, This Song . No More, So Special All Eyez & Gangsta Grillz.
Singing much more purely this time with less accent twag in her voice. Belting is on point.

I find it funny how Not Anymore is not even in my top five on this album but hopefully they recover from that and get Regret & mayb Lazy as next couple singles.

Good To Me, Regret, Tears, Lazy, Over I Need A U & Lady Love My Top fav’s but album very well put together

I will be picking this up!!! Letoya’s last CD with Torn was nice. I like this one even more with the tracks I’ve heard so far. We support you TOYA!!!!

nobody is checking for this insecure chick she got lucky with her first album nobody cares anymore

defo not getting this album…

She looks beautiful in her pictures and I’m glad she released a new album nice to her someone different.

Left it on the shelf.

People have the tendency to overlook LeToya’s music because everyone is too busy paying attention to that other member of the now defunct girl group Destiny’s Child (what’s her name… Beyonce, I think hehe). Her first album was a solid effort and a good introduction to what she is capable of, even if all the songs weren’t great. Now, with some more experience under her belt Letoya doesn’t fall victim to the sophomore slump. Yeah, there are 15 tracks, but it’s not about quantity over quality. The production values are great, and LeToya’s singing ability has definitely grown over time. Whether she’s showin’ her “hood” side on tracks like “She ain’t got” or tellin her lover what it is she needs on slow jams like “Good to me”, the album shines. Every hip hop and R&B enthusiast is sure to find something they like on this album. It’s doesn’t hurt that she’s such a pretty girl, too. Give this album a chance and you won’t regret it!

Just got my 2 copies from WalMart. Listening to the album right now. LeToya has so much more confidence in this album. I love it! My favorites are Lazy, Regret, and Tears. Overall, I love the album. Go pick it up if you haven’t.

I’m proud of LeToya holdin her own, I love her music. I will be getting my copy today. 4 all the DC haterz she will always be a part of the original group. She has moved on past all that drama & so have the other girls. Stop being so negative. Follow that H-town chic LeToya on twitter @letoyaluckett. Follow me @DymeDiva84 ya dig

Great Album!!!! Do it Letoya!!!

I NEED to go to the music store later on this evening bc I am really lovin these songs by Letoya that Ive hear soo far (((I need A u))) is on Repeat at the moment on my computer,,,, man this is my JAMMM ….. I normally dont buys CD”S be today she will be the exception

she is so BEAUTYFULLLLLLLLLLL

by the way visit my blog mrsfunkyfresh .blogspot . com

höhö mrsfunkyfresh .blogspot . com

When I get the money, and time, I will be buying Lady Love. =]

THIS IS ALBUM IS BANANAS!!!! I love it from start to finish. Me and my homeboy had a listening party late last night at the crib. It was very good and she has grown alot. I love the song with Estelle and Luda. GOODLUCK LETOYA!!!!

I l really enjoy the cd but am i the only one who doesn’t see the parallels between “Regret” and beyonce’s “Upgrade U?” The reviewer said they are very similar.. I don’t know how the hell one would think the they are alike… in terms of sound and theme.

my songs are

over
i need u
regret
take love away
matter
tears

i think i might just burn those on a mixed cd. lol

THe CD is amazing ,a big step up from her first album. I liked how she did a little bit of experimentation(lady love, she aint got) but still kept it R&B.

“Lady Love”? Very interesting title. I wonder if she is subliminally speaking about l*sbianism? 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. I’m guessing based on all that, that “Lady Love” will be her “alter-ego” (the name of her demon) like “Sasha Fierce”.

#43..

They are similar in lyrical content, basically of how they splurge on their man..
LeToya talk’s about when he was with her she was icing his wrist, giving him swag, buying him a car and such. Kinda like the things Bey mentioned in her song.

The photos of LeToya of FAB!

i adore this album…better than the first!

Listening to it on itunes right now…

Still torn about it. She stepped it up. Songs are catchy….

I dunno…she just screaming a lil too much song after song. Like even on slow songs, her voice is ready to fight somebody….

Strange coz she was always soft with it. It needs a balance. Scream on some, whisper on smooth tracks.

Dunno still like it though. Lots of good tracks. A rarity in todays game even with big artists.

Okay!

I will buy the album. I think so far this year, this is the best put together album from a female artist in “R&B/Pop” It flows. Concept-wise, sonically. It’s well put together.

I am shocked!

her pictures look really nice

It deserves a listen on Itunes

@nicholas ryan

I don’t get the comparison either.

ALBUM
SLAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Wanna hear R&B in the truest form???? Pick up your copy today!!!!!

GET IT TOYA!!

Toya love u MA! DO ya thing!!

All I gotta say is AALIYAH should have been in the background….none of these singers are touchn my girl…lets represent the time music was real and original.

i am listening to lady love right now!!! i had to go support letoya and cop this cd. my faves are not anymore, tears, i need a u, lazy, dont need u, and regret.

Well, its a pretty good album, but with the lack of promotion, I’m sure first week sales will suck. They’re too busy promoting Whitney.

*funny, “regret” just came on the radio and its pretty much my favorite song on the album, better be next single.

@ tj- hmm, Asia cruise’s “tears” shits all over letoya’s vocally. Asia is beast.

I am SOOO happy to see the love Toya is getting. I will definitely be downloading this from iTunes today! She is an absolutely beautiful young lady. I wish her much, much success with this. Surprisingly enough, she is one of the very few people I like today. All the other stuff out there is garbage. JMO. Go Toya!!!

she better do well, with all this promo.

love her pictures

@43, UR NOT THE ONLY ONE. IF ANYTHING REGRET REMINDS ME OF KELLY’S “GHETTO”, AS FAR AS THE WAY SHE DELIVERS THE VERSES. IM DEFINTELY FEELING THE LYRICS IN THAT AND LADY LOVE, MY FAVORITE. TAKE AWAY LOVE SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING I WILL HAVE ON REPEAT WHILE SIPPING WINE AND RELAXING. LETOYA IS BEAUTIFUL AND HER SMOOTH SKIN TONE IS VERY PRETTY.

I love this girl so down to earth and a beautiful voice to match! I will be geting this album today. Hopefully this album will get more promotion than the last album cause she most def stepped it up this time around.

H-Town stand up!!!! Get the album, R&B at it’s finest!!!

this album shits on ANYTHING beyonce ever gimmicked to sell..
and letoya has NO promotion
whoever said she was insecure is brainfried…
when do you ever see her putting off on other females?

While on the debut album LeToya let us know she was that “H-town chick” by using H-town Rappers and H-town production to convey that southern confidence (swagger if you will), on “Lady Love” she does no such thing. Instead, she opts to convey that swagger solely through her lyrics and vocal execution. “Lady Love” finds LeToya as “swagger” made flesh; confidence epitomized.

From the opening song all the way to the last, we are taken on a journey through all the ups & downs, and ins & outs of Love. I am actually surprised at some of the various perspectives LeToya takes with this album. Lady Love is a true R&B album with just a sprinkling of pop added for good measure. Lyrically the album is brutally honest and well constructed; vocally LeToya sounds better than she ever has, the growth is astounding; conceptually she thoroughly explores all the different tenets of Love.

The first single “Not Anymore” was not strong enough to be a single at all. A single is a song that is a standalone hit; however, within the context of the album “Not Anymore” fits perfectly. It serves a very specific role; it enables the story to further progress. It acts as a nice bridge that guides you to the more important and more interesting sites.

Thankfully, this album is replete with great material. There really is no need to skip anything. It has been awhile since an album that is capable of playing in its entirety has been on the scene. Initially when I learned that LeToya’s sophomore album would deal extensively with the subject of “love”, I assumed it would be slow and boring. While there are times when LeToya slows it down, it is NEVER boring. As a vocalist, LeToya shines her brightest on mid-tempos and ballads, as all true vocalists do. Songs like “Regret”, “Over”, and “I Need A U” find LeToya in rare form, and showcase some of the finest vocals on the album.

On the up-tempo side, “Lady Love” “Drained” and “After Party” display LeToya’s newfound ability to ad-lib effortlessly over intricate beats. It takes a certain level of confidence to handle an up-tempo in the proper manner, but as I told you, LeToya is confidence incarnate! Her conviction is astounding throughout this album; particularly impressive on the up-tempos. There are those who would argue that there aren’t “enough” up-tempos on this album but its quality over quantity. While there are only a handful of records classified as “up-tempo” present on Lady Love, they are all stellar. They serve their purpose excellently, and for that, I am content. She even manages to throw in the track “Swagger” as a bonus, which adds one more up-tempo for the dance floors.

The centerpiece of the album is the song “Tears”. The arrangements are reminiscent of the vocal intricacy found on “Full Moon” or “Aaliyah”. The song is a pulsating, intense, sexually charged record that takes the album to the next level. There are varying layers of vocals and harmonies laced throughout, and yet LeToya still manages to make it all cohesive. It would be regrettable if it were not a single in the future.

Overall, this is a very solid album. LeToya has shown exponential growth both vocally and qualitatively. “Lady Love” is a much more mature effort than the debut; it’s appeal is broader than that of “LeToya” as well. Fans will definitely be pleased, but more importantly, those who didn’t give LeToya a chance the first time around, will most assuredly check her out now. The inclusion of the song “Love Roller Coaster” may seem strange to some, but that song accurately sums up the entire “Lady Love” experience, “It goes up and down and around and ’round, it goes up and down, around and ’round and ’round and ’round we go!” Oh but what a journey it is!!

One of the albums of 2009; easily.

Wow, that’s the first word that comes to mind after listening to this cd from end to end 3 or 4 times non stop. This may be the best R&B album of the year. From beginning to end, every track is well written, well produced and of course courtesy of Letoya excellantly performed.

There are so many great songs I don’t even know if I should even list the best tracks, but the ones I have to listen to on repeat constantly are Lazy, Over, Regret, Tears, Take Away Love, and Matter.

She has something for everyone on this cd, from slow jams, to women’s anthems, to songs for the fellas, and club joints. If this album is promoted correctly it could be huge success for the H-Town Chick. Kudos!

Letoya Luckett came out of the gate “swing batta batta” at her competition! I picked up Lady Love early this morning…like 9:30am and so far I AM LOVING THIS ALBUM!!! I really liked her debut album, Letoya, but it pales in comparison to Lady Love. This time around Letoya is really showing her range and versatility as an artist! Some of my favs are Take Away Love, Lazy, Matter, and Not Anymore. The whole album is really good!!! I smell another plantinum album, Ms. Luckett!!!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVEEEEEE

Negative ones need 2step with the bum ass comments
Be constructive instead of RUDE!!!

The album was executed very well and i think love rollercoaster is on there to support Mims..

Lazy, Good To Me, Over & I Need A U & Tears i love them especially.

Take Away love is cool & Matter

DAMN i nearly naming EVERY TRACK this album is the bidness of R&B and
sooooooooo great.

BIG UP LeToya for a very very good job on this.
Album just flows

Beautiful girl. I hope this CD is a hit for her.

“Lady Love” is Letoya’s nickname not no damn Alter-Ego, get real Judah.

I will be getting the album ASAP. I love “Regret” way better than Kelly’s “Ghetto”, and does not remind me of Bee’s “Upgrade You” just an excuse to throw her name in the review IMO.
And the title song “Lady Love” is AMAZING! Great throwback! “Lazy” is Great as is “Dont Need U”. And “She Ain’t Got…” is highly underrated. Thats all I have heard so far Aside from “Not Anymore” which was an okay single, itsjust now getting heavy airplay where I live.

I’m so happy to see so many positive comments about her. I think I heard her perform at a Patty Labelle tribute ( I was in another room)… but I was like “Who is that!” and my mom was like LeToya Luckett….. anyway - I’m proud!

Excellent album. Much better than her first was. I’ve already got my copy.

I’m glad to see all the great reviews…I haven’t had the chance to view the album yet so I will be going to pick it up.

My friend, the “overall concepts” of Upgrade You and Regret are nowhere near close.

Sigh. CL hires yet another incompetent critic. Just give up already.

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!

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>>

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

Had downloaded it last week and can’t stop playing it! I mean her vocals is off the hook she really put her foot in this album good job!!

WHY THE FUCK IS LATOYA LUCKETT PLASTERED ALL OVER THIS PAGE. NOBODY, AND I MEAN, NOBODY IS FUCKING CHECKIN FOR HER. WHAT THE FOCK IS WRONG WITH YALL!!!!!!!!! SMMFH!!!!

Incomparable CD!!!!!

Tone deaf she is not!
Another lie refuted! CTFU!!!!!

LeToya was not a bad seed. She was organic. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I agree with the posters who are saying “Regret” doesn’t embody or remind them the least bit of “Upgrade U.” They are two completely different songs, and not just because of who sang each of them!

To me, “Upgrade U” is saying you see how I can be like you (a dude) and floss and spend, so know I don’t need you in the end, but look how great I look on your arm-we look good together and compliment each other well, both visually and financially.
While to me “Regret” was saying, you done fucked up now, I hooked your (broke) ass up, gave u A, B, and C… and you didn’t respect it enough to where Id be happy. So look at what your missing out on now.

I also don’t hear similarities in the beat either! So yeah could use some more clarification of how those two songs, are similar.

And yeah I agree, coulda did without bringing up beyonce’s name when mentioning Ne-Yo, it would have been better to say ‘Ne-Yo who was responsible for “Irreplaceable” and “Take A Bow” which were classics.’ I mean to each their own, but I just see that people know what artists you’d be talking about from the songs, they were big songs, by a known song writer… I almost see it as a diss to LeToya cause out of them three songs, hers was the ONLY one not to go number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Regardless, “She Ain’t Got…” is a hot song, Cory Bold did wonders with producing it, I don’t understand with all of its crossover appeal it still isn’t charting. Hmmm.

This album is amazing. ..LeToya really stepped it up vocally. I bought a copy from the store n downloaded it from Amazon. ……go get the album people!!

I got the album too but I downloaded,…. For free., I don’t make rich people richer

From Hits Daily: Letoya (Capitol) 25-30k

I expected Letoya to do much better than this. This saddens me. Better luck next time!

I wish her the best with her album..Im not a fan..but I love Not Anymore..Thats my ringtone for my daughters dad.

I must admit this album definately surpassed my expectations. LeToya definately went and got those vocals together (CIARA TAKE NOTES PLEASE) Live she definately gotten better, and I appreciate the growth. My favorite song is absolutely LAZY that song is the ish. Overall Im deeply impressed by the writing, production, and most importantly her voice. Sometime in the world of R&B/POP the artist lean on their lackluster vocals and not try to get better, LeToya did the complete opposite. Her last album for me lacked vocal ability which made it take up space on my iPod but now Im on her like The Hambergular on Christina Millian. Toya you def get 4/5 stars for this one- you lose one star for having a song on your album that aint got nothing to do with you. LOL Still stunning - She definately needs to be nominated for a Grammy this year

LaToya is very pretty artist. I wish her much success…….

Beautiful pics, nice voice….but definitely the Sophomore slump. No vocal variety, no exciting production like on the previous album, and the lyrical content was … very simple, elementary, and repetitive. It got boring quick.

POBOI, how can you say she showed no vocal variety? There were songs where she belted, and others where she sang with completely different inflections in ther voice. Case in point, “I Need a U” vs. “She Aint Got…” or “Lazy” vs. “Over”.

As far as the content being elementary, with this album she ventured into a more adult realm singing about sex which she chose not to do with the first album in such an overt fashion. Not only that, but she has songs expressing a plethora of different experiences with love from the pain one feels with the loss of a love, the celebration of having someone good, to yearning for someone you don’t have.

While I respect your opinion, I can’t agree with you, and based on what you wrote you either didn’t listen to the album or you are simply a HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO GET TOYA’s ALBUM… IT’s HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOYA 09

@ 156, I’m so Hungry who said they don’t buy albums to make rich people richer. Now let’s look at this boo. Your name is I’msoHungry…. 2 u downloaded and had no intention of buying… let’s just say I’m sure it’s not because you don’t want to make rich people richer, but because you’re at the bottom of the fucking barrel you broke bitch. Would you like a wool blanket to keep your homeless ass warm? Aren’t you getting tired of running to the public library for their internet connection? Broke ass bitch…

Anyway… Toy’s album is pretty good. I got mine.

Well looks like her album was a major FLOP! CL yall tried promoting on yall site, but let’s face it her music just ain’t that good to begin with.

Terrible…. YOU ARE A HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Terrible. 164 posts seem to think otherwise.

LeToya’s “LADY LOVE” cd is BLAZiNG FiRE! With everysong, there is someone that can relate to it. I definately feel like she has matured vocally and is sexier than ever!

[...] in New York City. LeToya’s latest album is currently in stores now and you can check out our album review here. .gallery { margin: auto; } .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; [...]

Its no surprise that a few haters would come ALL THE WAY BACK TO THIS THREAD, just to call her a “flop”…..hilairous, lmao So what? The sales aren’t predicted (<–keyword) to be high, but the quality of the album speaks for itself.

She might get the last laugh come Grammy 2010….she made the deadline, so hopefully she’ll get shown some love. She definitely deserves it.

And the HitsDailyDouble figures were PROJECTIONS….based on first-day sales. And she was NOWHERE to be seen on national TV on the first day. So of course the projection would be low.

Shes soooo lame,lil Beyonce wanna be..shes wackk no originality..this has all been done before!!!

Lady Love is a very good cd. “Afterparty” is not a misstep. The entire cd is good and she deserves for it to sell. It is well put together and truly–we can support her. It really isn’t a crime, in fact nobody will go to jail if they don’t mention Beyonce or Destiny’s Child. Letoya Luckett has been associated with that in a long while… Her lyrical content is better than Beyonce’s-if you mention anything, discuss that!
