Four years after her debut album blew the roof off the sucker, Leela James is returning this Spring with a new album to quench the thirst of those wanting another hit of her gut-bucket soul. Let's Do It Again is scheduled to be released in April, and it will also find Leela on a new label, Shanachie Records, home to fellow sangers Calvin Richardson and Maysa. On this new disc, she'll be be traveling into deep soul territory once again and pay homage to The Staple Singers and Bobby Womack, who are amongst her influences. Hopefully this switch to a smaller label will prove to be a good move
for Ms. James and they'll know what to do with the big-voiced singer
because it's beyond belief why she hasn't blown up yet. [SR]
