Ledisi, New Attitude | COVERS

In the 48^th edition of COVERS (2023), Ledisi delivers a compelling rendition of “New Attitude,” originally performed by Patti LaBelle.

Ah, it’s time to get cozy and totally cover up! In COVERS, we highlight a musician or band covering songs by another musician (likely a popular musician). COVERS focuses solely on the musician who covers, as opposed to the original/most famous performer.  It is open to both established musicians and musicians who may not be as well-known. In the 48^th edition of COVERS (2023), 🎙 Ledisi delivers a compelling rendition of 🎵 “New Attitude”, originally performed by 🎙 Patti LaBelle.

“I’m feelin’ good from my head to my shoes 👠 / Know where I’m goin’ and I know what to do / I’ve tidied up my point of view / I got a new attitude.” Oh, yeah! 🎙 Ledisi (Ledisi Young) honors iconic soul musician, 🎙 Patti LaBelle with a stirring rendition of her classic, 🎵 “New Attitude”.  Interestingly, the 🏆 Grammy-winner’s tribute took place on an unlikely platform – CMT (Country Music Television). Go figure! Regardless, at the CMT Smashing Glass: A Celebration of the Groundbreaking Women of Music, Young, a seasoned artist in her own right, brought the heat 🥵. In the live performance, she owns the stage. Her presence is amazing, showcasing ample – wait for it – ATTITUDE!

“Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh / I got a new attitude!” Ledisi delivers potent, incredibly powerful vocals. The edge and grit in her voice is effing amazing.  When Patti, I mean, Ledisi 😝, hits the high notes, it’s a spiritual moment 👏 👏 👏 – AMEN! Her ad-libs are on-point, as Young does indeed do her best to channel her inner Patti LaBelle.  In addition to her epic lead vocals, Young gets epic support from the background vocals.  Ultimately, this live cover of 🎵 “New Attitude” is sooo good it makes you wanna slap yo mama… well, something like that.  Check out the video and the icon herself, the one-and-only Patti LaBelle, eats it up 🔥.
