Ledisi with special guest Raheem DeVaughn
Get ready for a musical revolution! Grammy-winning artist Ledisi is set to drop her new single, "Sell Me No Dreams," the follow-up to her #1 single "I Need To Know," which soared to the top of the Billboard R&B Charts, off her highly anticipated 2024 album.
Undeterred by the pandemic, she launched her own label, Listen Back Entertainment, and unveiled "The Wildcard" LP, featuring the #1 Grammy Award-winning hit "Anything For You," which secured her win in the "Best Traditional R&B Performance" category. The album's success catapulted Ledisi into sold-out shows nationwide.
A vocal powerhouse, Ledisi's venture into jazz with "Ledisi Sings Nina" garnered acclaim, with The New York Times hailing her bravura self-assurance and included a sold-out show at the prestigious Carnegie Hall. With 14 Grammy nominations, 3 Soul Train Music Awards, and 19 NAACP Image Award Nominations, Ledisi's impact spans music, film, and television.
Beyond the stage, she's a vocal advocate as a Trustee of the Recording Academy, Los Angeles Chapter, and an Honorary Member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
A seasoned presence in film and television, Ledisi made her mark with roles in George Clooney's "Leatherheads," the Oscar-nominated "Selma," and the impactful "The Tale Of Four." Transitioning to television, she portrayed Patti LaBelle on BET's American Soul and shone in FX's "POSE" and "Twice Bitten" on BET Plus. In 2022, she wowed fans as Mahalia Jackson in "Remember Me" and embodied the essence of Gladys Knight in the biopic "Spinning Gold."
An author and entrepreneur, Ledisi is a creative force redefining the entertainment landscape. As she prepares to launch more groundbreaking projects, Ledisi, a black woman, wife, bonus mom, daughter, sister, storyteller, advocate, and businesswoman, owns her lane like never before. It's not just music; it's a journey, and Ledisi is at the helm of this exciting new chapter!

You can tell when a woman has finally come into her own. It's in the swivel of her hips, the growl in her voice and the joy that brightens her face when she smiles. A woman filled with confidence is a force to be reckoned with. For singer songwriter Ledisi, that exuberance rings through on every track of her new album The Truth.
"I changed my life!" Ledisi says with a laugh. "With every album I grow, and with The Truth I am really starting to accept myself fully. I mean, I've always felt great about myself, but this time I've gone to a new level."
The result is an album filled not only with Ledisi's trademark soaring ballads but also something unexpected: a generous collection of up-tempo, beat-driven celebrations of love and lust. Ledisi describes the effort as "vibrant, sensual and fun. Of all of my recordings, this is definitely my favorite album ever."
