Former Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett readies new success
Former Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett will release her solo debut July 18 on Capitol Records. The self titled album "LeToya" features appearances from fellow Houston artists Mike Jones, Paul Wall and Slim Thug, as well as production by Scott Storch, and others.
Stated by Bilboard.com, LeToya says of the album's title, "It's the world's first time hearing me and getting to know me as a solo artist, so what better way to get them to know me than call it LeToya?" The first single, "Torn," is currently No. 53 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and has received over 2200 spins on Singersroom.com as well as some great reviews.
During her seven years in the original Destiny's Child Group, Luckett co-wrote several of the group's singles, including "Bills Bills Bills" and "Say My Name." The singer appeared on two of Destiny's Child's four studio albums: its 1998 self-titled debut and the 1999 follow-up, "The Writing's on the Wall" (1999).
