| Like almost all other vocalists tagged neo-soul, Leela James' primary inspirations date no later than the late 1970s (Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, and Tina Turner are regularly cited). Her debut album involved assistance from a range of noted studio rats from the fields of rap and R&B, including Kanye West, Raphael Saadiq, James Poyser, Chucky Thompson, and Wyclef Jean. The album, titled "A Change Is Gonna Come" (a definite reference to Sam Cooke), was released in late June of 2005. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide |
