LeToya

前真命天女成員LeToya單飛后終于取得了成功，她的單曲Torn目前在Billboard雜志的單曲排行榜上名列第二。 　　LeToya曾有幾年一直遠離樂壇的聚光燈，她認為把新專輯用自己的名字命名無疑是讓歌迷重新認識自己的最佳辦法。這個專輯絕對是送給女性的，她說：“這個專輯的主題就是女性?！? 　　LaToya Luckett在當?shù)氐慕烫美锍栝L大，他的父親也是一名歌手，他告訴大家女兒有唱歌的天賦，于是LeToya有機會在5歲時就在教堂里開始獨唱。后來她加入了兒童合唱團，在上小學時就開始表演戲劇，在那里她遇到了碧昂斯并于1993年加入了真命天女組合。 　　作為音樂史上最成功的少女組合之一的原創(chuàng)成員，LaToya合作編寫和表演了樂隊的暢銷曲目Bills Bills Bills和Say My Name。 　　2000年，就在樂隊將發(fā)布其第三張專輯前不久，LaToya離開了樂隊。隨后她和另一名成員以及樂隊的經(jīng)理碧昂斯的父親馬修之間爆發(fā)了一場司法大戰(zhàn)，媒體對此的報道也是很多。 　　這場官司最終和解，LaToya也得以從樂隊那里得到所有出售的專輯的版稅。但很長一段時間，她都無法擺脫樂隊的陰影。她說：“我總是告訴別人，我有自己的名字，但人家總是問我，‘你不就是那個真命天女的女孩嗎？’現(xiàn)在人們終于知道我的名字了?！? 　　在退出樂隊后，她在休斯敦開了自己的時裝店，后來她和碧昂斯也和好了。她說現(xiàn)在對于前樂隊隊友并沒有什么成見，她說：“她們正在做她們的事情，她們在好萊塢擁有了一顆星，也有了這么多白金專輯，我為她們感到自豪。她們很努力，我現(xiàn)在是她們的歌迷。最近我們見了面，相互慶祝了一下。我們都長大了，都在為實現(xiàn)自己的夢想而努力?！? Part of the original lineup of the superstar group Destiny's Child, LeToya Luckett, who as a solo artist chose to go by her first name only, didn't just sit around after she and Latavia Roberson left the group shortly after the release of 1999's The Writing's on the Wall (neither singer was seen in the "Say My Name" video, which came as a surprise to both of them). She started up another group with Roberson, Anjel, which dissolved before a record ever came out, opened up an upscale boutique in her hometown of Houston, TX, and lived briefly in Los Angeles, where she signed to Capitol in 2003. Her first promotional single, "U Got What I Need," was released in 2004, followed the next year by "All Eyes on Me" (that same year LeToya also appeared on the Coach Carter soundtrack with her song "What Love Can Do"). In the spring of 2006 "Torn" hit radios, and in July her self-titled debut -- which contained all of the singles she had previously released -- finally came out.
