NEW YORK, NY (Top40 Charts/ Capitol Records) - Having established herself as a chart-topping, platinum-certified artist, songwriter and entrepreneur, LeToya is ready to make her next move on August 25th with the release of the singer's sophomore album 'Lady Love' on Capitol Records.
Already shaping up as the female anthems of 2009 are the album's lead singles, 'Not Anymore' and "She Ain't Got." Co-produced by Grammy Award-winning artist Ne-Yo, "Not Anymore" pulsates with empowering determination as LeToya's soulful voice reaches out to females who are 'fed up' with straying boyfriends. 'That drama ... I don't want it anymore,' she declares. 'I dried my eyes and realize/I deserve somebody who treats me right.'
Showcasing a more powerful LeToya, 'Not Anymore' is a fitting next chapter in Letoya's evolving career. Out the box, 'Not Anymore' finished No.1 Most Added at Media Base. Among the 42 urban stations that have added the song include such powerhouses as, WJLB/Detroit, KBXX/ Houston, KBFB/Dallas, WPEG/Charlotte, WWPR/New York and WOWI/Norfolk. The video for her latest new single, "She Ain't Got," already has over 60K views on MySpace and is actively on BET's "106 & Park" countdown.
A founding member of the multi-platinum group Destiny's Child, LeToya forged her solo status in 2006 with the emotional ballad 'Torn.' The No. 1 urban mainstream hit about the travails of a strained relationship spent a record-breaking 24 days at No. 1 as the most requested video on BET's '106 & Park.' It also paved the way to gold- and platinum-certified success for the singer's self-titled debut album. Featuring production by Bryan-Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri, the set bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. LeToya went on to garner accolades as Top Songwriter of 2006 by ASCAP and one of AOL's best new artists that same year.
In addition to Ne-Yo, 'Lady Love' boasts production contributions by (Tank, Oak, Bei-Maejor, Neff-U). LeToya also makes cameo appearances on albums by two of her label-mates: 'Somebody Else' from Avant's recently released self-titled album and 'Love Rollercoaster' from MIMS' upcoming sophomore set 'Guilt.'
Born and raised in Houston, LeToya (nee Luckett) sang her first solo in church at the tender age of five. After meeting Beyonce Knowles in elementary school, the pair later joined forces as members of Destiny's Child. During LeToya's seven-year stint, she cowrote two of the group's gold singles, 'Bills Bills Bills' and 'Say My Name,' and appeared on the group's breakthrough album, 'The Writing's on the Wall.'
Not only is she a talented singer, LeToya's a successful entrepreneur. She owns and operates two upscale women's boutiques called Lady Elle. Now in its sixth year, the clothing store is located in Houston's Uptown Park shopping center.
