Ledisi is R&B royalty, and we are her loyal subjects as we patiently await the release of her new album The Crown. Last month on Sherri, she unveiled the regal cover art and the project’s Friday, April 25th drop date. She kept the tracklist to herself at the time, but now the soulstress has shared it as the release rapidly approaches.
Of course, the 11-song tracklist contains the ballad “Love You Too,” the searing serenade “BLKWMN” and the third single “I Do.” Other titles that have our interest piqued include “Daydreaming,” “Enuf,” “7 Days Of Weak” and “Making A Way.” The final song is the title track, which showcases the set’s only feature from fellow New Orleans native Trombone Shorty.
Ledisi celebrates her 25th year as a recording artist this year, and The Crown is her 14th love offering. The album will be the fifth release from her independent label Listen Back Entertainment since its formation in 2020. She’s enjoyed sweet success with her label, garnering a GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance in 2021 for the single “Anything For You” from her album The Wild Card. It may be too early to think of next year’s GRAMMYs, but we’re positive that The Crown will be a contender.
Get ready to unwrap Ledisi’s latest musical gift when The Crown is released next Friday, and treat yourself to concert tickets to her Love You Too: The Tour with Marsha Ambrosius, which kicks off next month.
