Alright by Ledisi
This week’s iTunes free single is “Alright” by Ledisi. A nice jazzy, rhythm and blues single, Ledisi has a smooth voice, reminding me of some of the more successful singers from that genre. The lyrics are somewhat typcial of the genre and it lacks any real draw besides its overall smoothness. Overall, while not exactly my genre of music, I still don’t think there’s anything really original or exciting here.

As a side note, you can pick up Paul McCartney’s “Nod Your Head” single and video for free in addition to Bruce Springsteen’s “Radio Nowhere” single. Both come with higher recommendations than “Alright.”

you’ve apparently never seen Ledisi live. She is a powerhouse singer and can mellow smooth. There’s nothing she can nopt sing. You don’t know her story or where she comes from like many of her fans relate so that’s why the song doesn’t do much for you. It’s a spiritual song so great lyrics don’t matter. You don’t hink about a song liek this you FEEL it. Take a listen to the CD and maybe you’ll get it.
If not, well, we all have our tastes.

I love this song she has such an amazing voice that i love to listen to. This is a song you can listen to over and over again and not get tired of it.
Keep the good singles coming!

Her voice doesn’t deserve a C - watch her singing this song live on youtube. She is a great talent & should be supported.

Perhaps you are all right. I did think her voice was strong and smooth, but I just couldn’t get into the song itself. It might be worth it for me to listen to some of her other songs–any suggestions?
