Here, Ledisi wails and belts with a kind of power previously untapped--in recorded form, at least--all the while maintaining remarkable finesse.
-
Yet for all the sleek settings and the vocal firepower Ledisi deploys, Turn Me Loose doesn't really present an artistic persona any more memorable than the earnest traditionalist from "Lost & Found."
-
Turn Me Loose also has its share of kiss-offs and entreaties--Ledisi can manage both, though vulnerability eludes her even on a track called 'Alone'--and enough tight musicianship to satisfy any retro-soul partisan.
-
Turn Me Loose is a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs and twists and turns that can make you gasp in awe, but when it’s over you are in the same old place.
-
Like a true woman, Ledisi keeps growing as she takes the good with the bad.
