Ledisi - Pieces Of Me Album R&B/Soul Atlanta, GA. Become a Fan Remove Fan. Ledisi - Pieces Of Me Album Become a Fan Remove Fan. Find Ledisi discography, albums and singles on AllMusic. Potent singer and versatile songwriter who has become an adult R&B radio staple and 12-time Grammy nominee after years of independent work. I had meant to post this one up some time ago but never got around do doing it. Better late than never though. This one has a rather simple chord sequence, more on the R&B side and very uplifting. Turn Me Loose was Ledisi’s most commercially successful release, topping Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and peaking within the Top 20 of the Billboard 200. The 2009 album also earned two Grammy nominations to go with the pair earned by 2007’s Lost & Found.

Pieces of Me is the fifth studio album by American singer Ledisi. It was released by Verve Forecast Records on June 14, 2011 in the United States. The album debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200, becoming her first US top-ten album on the chart, and her highest-selling album to date. It also saw similar success on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, where it debuted at number two, becoming her second top-ten album on that chart. The album was a critical and commercial success, earning Ledisi three Grammy–nominations at the 54th Grammy Awards, the title track (and US Top 20 R&B hit), 'Pieces of Me' earned two nominations for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance, while the album itself received a nomination for Best R&B Album, losing to F.A.M.E. by Chris Brown.

Promotion[edit]

Pieces of Me was released on June 14, 2011. To promote the album, Ledisi signed CDs at a Wal-Mart in Memphis, Tennessee where she also performed as an opening act for Keri Hilson on the Road to Essence tour. She also performed in Birmingham, Alabama and Baton Rouge, Louisiana on June 15 and 16. In October through November 2011, Ledisi embarked on her first headlining tour, the Pieces of Me Tour. Selling out venues across the country, the tour had 22 shows with Timothy Bloom as the opening act. 'Pieces of Me', the album's title track, and lead single, was released in early summer of 2011, and has since peaked at number nine on the US R&B/Hip-Hop Charts. In September 2011, Ledisi released a video for her second single, 'So Into You'.

Critical reception[edit]

Andy Kellman from AllMusic found that sonngs such as “Hate Me” is 'a hot Southern soul ballad and “Shut Up” packs forthright attitude with a roomy but unshakeable beat, yet the album does not quite have the bite of Turn Me Loose. It could use a couple throw-you-around-the-room rockers in the vein of Turn Me Loose's “Runnin’” and “Knockin’,” although some listeners will be so struck by the sustained high level of confidence and grace that it won’t be an issue.'^[1]
