Contemporary R&B singer Ledisi Young spent her early years in New Orleans before moving with her family to Oakland, Calif. Her musical sensibilities weren’t forged in the church, but by her parents’ eclectic tastes.

Not surprisingly, Ledisi — she uses only her first name professionally — has not confined herself to R&B convention. On her latest album, “Pieces of Me,” she uses different producers, but keeps arrangements uncluttered, the better to showcase her potent, crystalline voice.

That voice is especially impressive on “Then There Was You,” the song she co-wrote for Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews’ new album, “For True.”

After years of steadily building a following — she has appeared multiple times on a superlounge stage at the Essence Music Festival — Ledisi has embarked on her first club headlining tour.

It stops at the House of Blues on Wednesday, Nov. 2. Show time is 8 p.m. Timothy Bloom opens.

Tickets are $30.

Turn Me Loose is the fourth studio album by American R&B and jazz singer-songwriter Ledisi; it was released on August 18, 2009, by Verve Records. It was recorded after Ledisi's experience with the writer's block, which she able to overcome it, after finding inspiration by listening on the Buddy Miles's album Them Changes (1970).^[11] In contrast to her previous work with jazz and soul influences, the album features a prominent funk sound.

The album debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 27,000 copies in the first week.^[12] Upon its release, it received generally positive reviews from music critics, based on an aggregate score of 72/100 from Metacritic.^[13]Turn Me Loose was nominated for two 2010 Grammy Awards including Best R&B Album & Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for 'Goin' Thru Changes'.

Background[edit]

Speaking in April 2010 to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis - Deputy Editor of the award-winning Blues & Soul - Ledisi explained how the title of the album reflected its musical diversity: 'The title 'Turn Me Loose' is basically me saying 'I don't wanna be boxed in! Let me be myself as a performer and singer, because I do EVERYTHING! Not just one particular style!'.'^[14]

Ledisi was able to secure some of urban music's most respected producers, including Grammy winners Raphael Saadiq and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Big Jim Wright. She also reunited with producer Rex Rideout, who contributed greatly to the sound of Lost & Found. With help from the four other producers (Ivan & Carvin, Chief Xcel, Chucky Thompson & Fyre Dept), the artist braided brilliant strains of Rock, blues, classic soul, funk and hip-hop are all fused together throughout Turn Me Loose. The funky title track, for instance, updates the sassy grooves of vintage Stax. As a tribute to Buddy Miles, Ledisi does a cover of 'Them Changes' as a bonus track.
