Most definitely the top track released in 2023 so far comes from the
return of Ledisi with "I Need To Know". Although she released a Christmas single and another song "Knockin'" back in April 2022, which featured Gregory Porter, it was a more of a
rock/blues song, and featured on a few tracks on "Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story" in which she starred in the leading role, it's been a minute since we
had new contemporary music from her.
I guess she's been busy on not only a tribute to Mahalia Jackson but she
also released a Nina Simone tribute album "Ledisi Sings Nina" and before that a live album "Live At The Troubadour", albeit it did have one new song, "Nothing But You", that wasn't live. So we have to go back to Aug 2020 for "The Wild Card" for her last new 'soul' material.
So it's great to have her back with new music and in such fine form.
There's no rest for Ledisi though, as she will also be featuring in yet
another biopic, "Spinning Gold", this time for ex Buddah Record executive Neil Bogart who was one of
the founders of Casablanca Records in 1973 (he died in 1982 aged only 39). Ledisi will feature playing
Gladys Knight. A trailer for the movie (below), which is scheduled to hit screens on 31 Mar 2023, begins with Ledisi in
frame.
