LeToya Luckett's Lady Love in stores August 25th.LeToya Luckett returns with her brand new album Lady Love and offers an array of songs that will complement the music lover in everyone.

Following-up with her last effort LeToya that has been certified platinum by the RIAA, Lady Love is sure to be the perfect sophomore album for R&B fans that have been pining away at receiving music worth pressing play.

The album opens up with the track "Lady Love" that shares it's name with the album. The beat on the track is fast-pumping and hypnotic allowing the ears to soak up the ever-changing beat all the while witnessing LeToya's voice float on the track like a light-weight feather. "She Ain't Got" plays on a Pop meets R&B feel while "Lazy" will more than likely be one of the ladies anthem for 2009.

The fan favorite "Regret" featuring Ludacris, that seems to follow a similar beat pattern of Gospel duo Mary Mary's song "God In Me", allows the Houston-native to have a little fun with her voice effortlessly hitting high notes. One of the gems on Lady Love is "Take Away Love" featuring the English-sensation Estelle. The track has a tinge of classic R&B embedded in the melody and has chart-topping potential as a single."Love Rollercoaster" featuring Mims caps the album off displaying LeToya riding the harmonized beat going toe-to-toe vocally as rapper Mims keeps up lyrically.

Lady Love embodies the sounds of the present with just a splash of R&B that reigned supreme in the 90's. The tracks are very diverse and range from party songs to late-night soft ballads playing on not just love but also heartbreak and break-ups. The album shows LeToya's ability to think out the box and to bring to R&B music something different than the vast majority. Lady Love is an ideal album to add to your R&B collection.

Stand Out Tracks: "I Need A U", "Over", "Lady Love", "She Ain't Got" and "Take Away Love".

LeToya Luckett's Lady Love is due in stores August 25th, 2009.
