Ledisi - Feeling Orange But Sometimes Blue

From the wonderful album Feeling Orange But Sometimes Blue: The Jazz Singer Limited Edition.

Ledisi really sounded promising with her first two albums (Soul Singer and the Jazz Singer set) but then along came a major label (Universal) and before you could say "oh no!" Ledisi sounded just like another forgettable, trendy R&B clone.

Not to mention an album of Christmas songs...what a loss!

A trendy R&B clone???

Who is she a clone of. Ledisi has lost NONE of her individuality, guts or glory with her "major label" CDs. That label is a actually Verve, a renowned jazz label - home of Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Clifford Brown to name of a few.

And Verve is owned by Vivendi Universal these days which makes it just another imprint of a major. Just like Blue Note is a part of EMI and a faint echo of its former glory.

Ledisi live, though, may be a total different experience. But her major label releases aren't really my cup of tea.

Im sorry i disagree with your commentary... Ledisi's is far from forgettable she's doing her thang.. And as for her Christmas CD her arangments are off the chain... Let's try to uplift our positive Black musicans instead of tearing them down...

Be Blessed

@oporopolist gotta say i agree with you. i just went through her YouTube vids hoping to find an album to buy but was not impressed - it's that same old R&B. i LOVE this song but couldn't find it on iTunes. Any idea where i can buy it online?
