On May 25th, neo-soul singer, Leela James, will be blessing us with another batch of that gritty unmistakable soul sound with her latest album, My Soul, set to drop via Stax Records. Leela had this to say of the album: "I just wanted to go into the studio and do what moved me at the time, and not think about it too much or not allow it to be something that was too planned. That’s what great soul music has always been about from the very beginning – something very raw, very authentic and very true.” Today, we get a sample of that authentic sound, as we are premiering the video for her first single, "Tell Me You Love Me."

This is the sample m-phazes used on oddisee’s “a song for that” joint
Nice soulful tune. Anthony Hamilton & Leela James are so alike!
Feelin it!!!
I like that song ! Nice come back, I hope she’s going to release that album soon
I looks like she got a nose job.
It looks like she got a nose job.
totally oddissee track… thats all i heard…
The female Anthony Hamilton indeed!!! Nice track!
damn. can’t watch this outside the U.S. any chance for another host ?
wow. she killed it. i like the female Anthony Hamilton comparison
Nice track. Ms. James is singing that soul. Sample is from The Manhattans–Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye.
Horrible video, typical (or should I say stereotypical treatment), nice track, soulful vocals, and that’s not a nose job, that’s called a “ghetto” nose job – aka – make up! LOL!
too much of the same ol’ same ol’ boring laid back “neo-soul”. Is she incapable of reproducing the same kind of rawness/pain of her first CD? This stuff just will put me to sleep after a few tracks…
this looks forced
I DIG THIS ALOT.YOU REMIND ME OF NOBODY BUT YOU.YA KEEPING IT REAL AND SINGING WHAT CHA FEEL.IM A TRUE MUSIC LOVER FROM MILES TO YOU.UNAPOLOGETICALLY SHARP BABY,DONT CHANGE.
female Anthony Hamilton indeed. Not sure if that is good thing or not. Kinda boring for me…but that’s my palate.
This i-s-s-s-s-s quite forgettable. Did she hook up with Kadar or somethin’?
I’m tryin Ms. James… strike 2
I’m diggin’ this.
I’m not feelin the nosejob at all
Damn mama, I’m not feeling this for a first single, nor am I feeling the Avatar nose job. WTH?
hate the nose job and when you have a voice as good as that why use auto tuning? this looks so forced and contrived too
