SUMMARY:LEELA JAMES: In The Spirit of Etta
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n As one of the pre-eminent soul singers of her gene
 ration, Leela James has thrilled audiences around the world with her h
 igh-energy performances, which deliver her highly personal take on cla
 ssic soul music. Few of Leela’s fans know that her last name is not 
 really \"James\" and many have thought that she was the granddaughter 
 of Etta James. The fact is that she adopted that performing name as a 
 new artist because, since the time she was little, older folks have to
 ld her that she sounded like Etta James. Leela’s sound, along with h
 er wild, passionate and let-it-all-hang-performances on stage have fur
 ther sparked comparisons to Etta’s over-the-top style. Unlike many o
 f the current R&B singers on the scene, Leela is one of a small handfu
 l with an original sound and vocal style. Even when singing on a hip-h
 op-inflected track, she sounds like an \"old soul.\" And, like Etta, L
 eela's sensibility spills over from R&B, blues, and hip-hop (She’s c
 ollaborated with everyone from Kanye West to Pete Rock) to rock (as he
 r gospelized version of Foreigner's \"I Want To Know What Love Is\" de
 monstrated), gospel, jazz (as with her duet recording with Ray Charles
  on \"Compared To What\") and even electronica (her guest vocal on Mob
 y's Wait For Me album in 2009).  In short, Leela James is this genera
 tion's embodiment of Etta James.  So it makes perfect sense that when
  the legendary Etta James passed away in February of this year, Leela 
 would be the one to celebrate and perpetuate her legacy by recording L
 oving You More…In The Spirit of Etta James (Shanachie/2012), a power
 ful recording featuring Leela's often quite contemporary take of nine 
 songs associated with Etta and two new songs in the spirit of Etta.  
 Produced in Nashville by GRAMMY-winning producers Shannon Sanders and 
 Drew Ramsey (India.Arie, Jonny Lang, John Legend), the album is an org
 anic mix of classic soul sounds and current production techniques that
  captures and extends the spirit of one of the great vocalists of the 
 past 60 years.\n\n\nFor more information visit https://trueskool.com/e
