My Favorite Songs of 2011: #25 Ledisi - Pieces of Me

This is one of the songs that I discovered by accident. Ledisi's album debuted in the Top 10 the week it was released, and since I was not familiar with her songs, I decided to google it - and voila, I found this fantastic song - Pieces of Me. This is R&B at its best! I love the groove, I love her vocals - I may have to check if the Grammy people noticed her efforts.

My New Favorite Song This Week: Ledisi - Pieces of Me

Ledisi is the second R&B female singer that I discovered this year, whose music excites me! Earlier this year, I was introduced to the charming music of former Mary Mary, Marsha Ambrosius Her song, Far Away, is one of my favorite songs this year. Now, I discover Ledisi, and her song, Pieces of Me is just cute and emphatic and beautifully sung! Ledisi definitely has the voice!
