Verve

Few young vocalists have the command and personality of New Orleans (by way of the Bay) native Ledisi. On her Verve label debut, Lost & Found, both her strengths as a singer and as a songwriter are directly at the forefront. Her poignantly sincere ode on "Best Friend" conveys a certain sensitivity and honesty not often heard, while "Upside Down" may be one of the most infectiously soulful recordings of 2007. This is one sophisticated and earthy album from an undeniable talent that the world will want to know much better. - dusty culpepper
