LEDISI
LOST AND FOUND 2007
3.5 Stars
I enjoy a lot of the music I have heard from the Verve label and Ledisi is no exception. Although she has two other albums to her credit, I find this album is a a cut above the others. It is R&B with an infusion of jazz. Her voice is a pleasure to listen to and the music is thoroughly enjoyable. Songs like “Joy” and “Think of You” have an upbeat yet seductive groove to them. “Get To Know You” is deliciously soft and smooth, as is her duet with Rahsaan Patterson, “We Are One.” “Best Friends” is highly melodic. Even the lyrics are appealing.
Overall, Lost & Found is an album about love: finding, yearning for, being in, and needing love. And with few exceptions, her songs are compelling. R&B fans who also love jazz and those of you who enjoy soothing, grooving music will enjoy Ledisi. She says, “please someone find me.” I say, please go and find Ledisi.
