Everything LaDeana Michelle

LADEANA MICHELLE: New Vegan, New Dance Single, New Mag Cover, New Life

2011-06-28T21:49:00.000-07:00

It is official.

The multi-talented reppin’-for-the-brown-babes LaDeana Michelle has indeed gone public with her transition from vegetarianism to veganism after shedding 21 pounds in 10 days on The Master Cleanse (Stanley Burroughs, 1976) this year. So, basically, there’s no more cheese, eggs, or buttermilk pancakes.

Oh, the horror!

How on earth will she do it?

That is a huge step for a soul-food lover. However, I believe that Vegan soul-food exists. I wouldn't want any of it but who's asking?

Back to the diva at hand.

No idea why everybody is calling The Master Cleanse or “Lemonade Diet” the “Beyonce Diet”. WTH? Okay, yes. Beyonce lost 20 pounds in 10 days doing the cleanse, but honey, LaDeana Michelle had already been doing the cleanse for over seven years before Dreamgirls, and eons before the thought of such movie idea even manifested through the brilliant mind of Director Bill Condon. In fact, it was The Master Cleanse that LaDeana Michelle credits for originally catapulting her into vegetarianism over a decade ago. Whoomp! There it is.

It is Stanley Burroughs’ diet since 1976 and it works. We’re not talking about all these variations of it. We are talking about his version cut and dry, to the penny. That is the regimen LaDeana Michelle follows. Her camp reports that she’s never felt better after becoming a full Vegan and has not gained the weight back from this year’s Master Cleanse that launched her new lifestyle. Marinate on that one.

Then Miss Natalie Portman announced she gave up veganism because of her cravings for eggs and dairy during pregnancy. As she very well should have. Let us do what we need to do for the unborn babies and then do us, later. So…does this make LaDeana Michelle the new poster girl for the strict Vegan lifestyle? Yessss.

Oh, and it’s not just this Vegan thang, honey. Miss girl graces the cover of SayWhatNews online entertainment magazine this month, with an exclusive candid interview.

She is also releasing a fiery hot new party joint (from her forthcoming debut album – album title to be announced soon) entitled, “Like It’s Your Birthday” impacting on www.ladeanamichelle.com tomorrow, June 29th, 2011 and CD Baby, iTunes and worldwide, thereafter.

Preview the track HERE.

Don’t get me wrong. I like her other music, but she is so much more than a balladeer, or a slow-groove girl – or whatever title that floats one’s boat. This new track will have you up out of that chair on the dance floor, getting the sheet music for your band gigs and finding karaoke versions for your own parties. LaDeana Michelle’s “Like It’s Your Birthday” has that similar “feel-good” quality of the legendary Patrice Rushen’s “Haven’t You Heard”.

This one’s gonna move ya’. Guaranteed.

Not to mention the track’s HOT cover that features LaDeana Michelle ironically in nothing but her birthday suit, tastefully covered by royal blue material (Vegan material, I’m guessing?).

I guess when Vegans go natural, they are not kidding around. However, the whole thing is relatively innocent, tasteful and actually, quite fun. In fact, the photo is from Miss Thing’s recent “Vegan Shoot” – where she went all-natural – baring that beautiful, brown glowing skin underneath wisps of colored, Vegan sheets.

Waist-length, natural braids have temporarily replaced her long, curly ringlets, but provide her with an “island-exotic” look. I have to say it. The chick is FIERCE. All-natural. The “birthday suit” photo is also featured as a promo on www.ladeanamichelle.com.

You can also go from there to preview and download the dance track.

She will launch her official MySpace site, along with an all-new fan site (www.ladeanamichelle.net) main site (www.ladeanamichelle.com) and a slew of additional, mainstream social sites. She is also completing a new book, in talks for film production, preparing to partner with various Vegan organizations, is set to open a unique, boutique store (with future shoe, clothing, handbag, doll and cosmetic lines) and launch real-estate development projects and foundation-based social programs dedicated to help the homeless, the abused, underprivileged youth and starving children worldwide.

LaDeana Michelle is beautiful, talented, different and unpredictable and marches to the beat of her own symphony (a drum would not be enough for her).

It’s why we love her. She is what she is.

Rumor is, her highly-anticipated debut album drops later on this year - October, 2011. Until then, please join us in welcoming the newest, sexiest VEGAN female producer, songwriter, songbird vocalist, arranger, actress and more to the next-level road to greatness.

It’s all the way up from here.

GLAZE Is The ISH…R&B/Pop/Soul Producer, Singer, Songwriter LaDeana Michelle: The Next R. Kelly?

2011-02-10T09:20:00.000-08:00

Hey…don't shoot the messenger. Yeah, we know there's only one R-ruh, as in Kelly. However, critics seem to think there's a female version..and pretty girl's baaaack!!

Highly-anticipated R and B/Pop/Soul Songbird Vocalist, Producer and Songwriter/Arranger LaDeana Michelle releases “Glaze” this Valentine’s Day – her fifth, exclusive, digital-only EP.

Yep and I've heard it during its test run. It's HOT.

It's like this.... “Glaze” offers three sizzling joints: Deejay, How Did I Get Here and Who. All three songs were tested with DJ's and buyers all over the country and fared very well. Folks are indeed feelin' her. All three joints are speaker-knockin' and will make you nod your head, unless you are injured and can't move your neck. The feeling LaDeana Michelle sings with is incredible. Her voice is passion. Oh, you feel it; male or female. Deejay is actually a dedication song to deejays (and disc jockeys - there is a difference) worldwide, yet she found a unique way to flip it and make it romantic.

Imagine that.

Wanna hear em' early yourself? Preview all three HOT joints right HERE.

LaDeana Michelle, who can do it all like the big boys and then some, has once again given the people what they’ve asked her for. Her. No more legendary tributes (though we’ve enjoyed them in the past and are still enjoying them). What is coming from this phenomenal, independent young lady in 2011 is music straight from the soul with no auto-tune or other preservatives.

The results are all-natural and quite good for you.

Of course the release is a part of LaDeana Michelle’s official “Love Quarter” campaign (January 1st-March 31st) set to run every first quarter for the remainder of the decade. The campaign promotes love, social awareness, unity and change through music and visual arts. We thought her last hot release, “Bringing Love Back” was the last installment before fans could expect her highly anticipated full-length debut album, but we were apparently wrong.

LaDeana Michelle is full of surprises.

Every day, since the New Year rang in, Twitter followers have been treated to her snazzy tweets (this girl has quite the sense of humor and has been known to express herself quite thoroughly and brutally honest). It's all good, though. She just says what we think in our heads about quirky, real stuff that happens, but are afraid to straight out say.

I can't be mad at that.

Even Facebook friends have been able to catch up with her at some point.

You can follow LaDeana Michelle on Twitter HERE:

….and on Facebook HERE:

With her upcoming highly-anticipated debut album, book series, feature film, new boutique store, live performances and a string of business projects (she IS a businesswoman, first) her schedule has been jam-packed. Rest assured, LaDeana Michelle is a trend-setter and is always making moves, whether under the radar or not. One thing is for certain:

“Glaze” is a nice move.

Fans who have been following her since her world-receptive hit song, “Keep Your Faith” (the official Barack Obama Inauguration song) all know her music is extremely consistent and are waiting patiently for her debut album to ring the nation.

In the meantime, get ready to add the “Glaze” release to your collection. You won’t be disappointed. It is the must-have music if you knew what time it was from R&B crooners R. Kelly, Tank, Keith Sweat, Isley Brothers, H-Town, Jodeci and Silk. Come on, now. You know what it is!

“Glaze” officially releases on February 14^th, 2011 on CDBaby.com, the official store on LaDeanaMichelle.com, through LaDeana Michelle’s official fan site, LaDeanaMichelle.net, iTunes and all other major online retailers.

PLEASE NOTE: All other major online retailers such as iTunes and Rhapsody, etc. may or may not have “Glaze” available exactly on February 14^th, as distribution varies per retailer. If the product has not yet been posted there by that date, it will appear shortly after. In any case, “Glaze” will be carried everywhere.

My advice? Just visit LaDeana Michelle.com on the 14^th. “Glaze” will most definitely be there!

******Lyrics to Deejay, How Did I Get Here and Who will also be released on February 14^th on LaDeana Michelle's official fan site: LaDeanaMichelle.net and all main lyric websites for the general public.

It's been fun.

The Point

LADEANA MICHELLE'S "THERE 2 REMIND ME" ALREADY BLOWIN UP AIRWAVES!

2010-11-07T01:13:00.000-07:00

***LaDeana Michelle's smokin' hot new song "There 2 Remind Me" is available here now: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ladeanamichelle4

RandB/Pop/Soul Sensation LaDeana Michelle “unofficially” hit the ground running a year ago with an exclusive, digital-only love song package entitled, “Inside Love’s Window”, which is still garnering worldwide radio plays. She has graced stages all across the U.S. in both music and theater, has additionally lent vocals, arrangement and songwriting to countless independent artist releases, and as a full-fledged producer, she has RandB, Neo-Soul, Pop, Gospel, House, Hip-Hop, Rock, Adult Contemporary, Country and even Jazz production capabilities under her belt. She has rendered jingles for Coke, Pepsi, American Express, Budweiser, Dolby Sound and more. She is also still in circulation as lead and background vocalist on 17 additional worldwide album releases, each earning her a viable database of national and international fans all awaiting one thing: Her highly-anticipated, forthcoming debut album.

A computer programs specialist, there is no site, including Twitter, Facebook, Friendster or similar others she probably couldn’t be able to communicate through. Yet, communications seemed to cease in thin air. Rumors flew that the album release was delayed because of business reasons (she is also a savvy businesswoman). Some said she was in film production, others said she was tucked away finishing her book. She travels/gigs with live bands, writes video treatments and is a commercial jingle specialist, screenwriter and actress. Many say she’s been responsible for voiceover work. The latest was that she was knee-deep in multi-million dollar project negotiations for a creative business merger with her partners.

That was over six months ago.

Who knows? Do we really care? We cling to everything LaDeana Michelle touches (and has touched) no matter what, because we remember. Something about her is different; almost regal in quality. She is undeniably interesting. We KNOW what a talent she is.

And we can’t wait.

It all began with the grassroots spread of her positive-natured songs, "Keep Your Faith", created for President Barack Obama, still gaining thousands of daily YouTube viewers as the “Official 2009 Barack Obama Inauguration Song”, and “Believe”, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President Obama, was currently featured in The Urban Music Scene online magazine, a rapidly-growing publication that hosts top R&B, Gospel and Jazz, with artists Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Brian McKnight, Eric Benet, Charlie Wilson and more in tow. LaDeana Michelle’s “Believe” reportedly received the most hits ever recorded by the magazine in its history. Also notable, was her impressive memorial tribute to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson and video installment entitled, “SEVEN”, which featured seven of her self-produced songs and explored widespread issues such as love/relationships, racism, the homeless, genocide, starvation and more.

"Inside Love’s Window" included romantic ballads, “I Can’t” and “More Than Friends”, which ranked #1 in two top ten R&B and Urban charts and placed LaDeana Michelle as a top 25 artist overall on Soundclick, a music-based, social community that reports over 4 million songs, 491,000 bands and artists, and 4 million registered members. Her “heat-seeker” digital package, "Bringing Love Back", which featured the hit singles, “Long Night” and “My Honey” is still being requested for radio worldwide. Each and every song/video released was a branch from her unique “Love Quarter” campaign—which promotes love, social awareness, unity and change through music and visual arts annually, from January 1st through March 31st, set to run every first quarter for the next nine years.

Now, LaDeana Michelle once again hits home in the hearts of fans all over with her self-written, self- produced, “There 2 Remind Me”, which fits perfectly with her renowned slogan, “Changing Lives One Day at a Time”. An avid humanitarian, youth sports volunteer and supporter, though she refuses to discuss the amazing story (for protection of the man against unwanted attention) LaDeana Michelle was directly responsible for saving the life of--and for the ultimate rehabilitation of--a once-successful homeless man who had lost his way. His struggles fully inspired the powerful song, which tested “100% Thumbs Up” at early listening focus studies.

It is no wonder the masses are currently awaiting word on the exact release date of LaDeana Michelle’s debut album and its first official single thereof. The album is slated to be SIZZLING and will return a component to music that has seemingly gone into hibernation. She will also grace us with several feature films. She is working on an international tour and is set to launch foundation-based social programs dedicated to cultivate low-income youth and starving children worldwide.

***Also newly released (by popular demand) is the “LaDeana Michelle Sings The Hits” website, which features the talented beauty belting out some of the most requested live gig cover hits. HOT. Visit now:

Like an active volcano, LaDeana Michelle is most definitely brewing and unpredictable. We may not know exactly when she will officially spout, but we know it is inevitable that she will. From everything we have heard---preview to preview---of her phenomenal voice, style and influential messages within her music and lyrics, whenever she rears her lovely head above water for good, there won’t be a soul alive who will be able to resist her.

***********************************

Hot off the presses, baby!

“Long Night”, the first single from the EP, is currently spinning on several radio stations and has an accompanying video, uploaded to all major broadcasters (YouTube, Daily Motion, etc.) for video sharing.

“Bringing Love Back is also a part of LaDeana Michelle’s 2nd Annual “Love Quarter” campaign, which kicked off January 1st-March 31st, set to run for the next nine years. The notable campaign promotes love, social awareness, unity and change through music & visual arts. In addition to her current video “Long Night”, her campaign has rendered her other highly-rated videos, “Believe”, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President Obama, which was featured in The Urban Music Scene online magazine & reportedly received the most hits ever recorded by the magazine in its history, the “SEVEN” mini-movie, featuring clips of seven of her self-produced songs over images of widespread issues such as love/relationships, racism, the homeless, genocide, starvation and more, “Keep Your Faith”, the Official Barack Obama Inauguration Song, and “Rare”, her inspiring tribute dedication to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

R&B/Pop/Soul Artist, Songwriter and Producer LaDeana Michelle Set to Host Exclusive Facebook Promotion Beginning New Year's Day

2009-12-31T08:03:00.001-08:00

On Friday, January 1, 2010, as a New Year’s Gift, forthcoming R&B/Pop/Soul artist, songwriter and producer LaDeana Michelle will launch an exclusive Facebook promotion, offering a free digital copy of her new release, “Bringing Love Back”, exclusively to the first 50 members who respond.

Beginning New Year’s Day, Facebook members will send their opinions of LaDeana Michelle's “Long Night”, the first single from “Bringing Love Back”, to the promotional e-mail provided on LaDeana Michelle's official Facebook page. The first 50 members will each be sent an exclusive download link to retrieve their free digital copy of her latest installment, “Bringing Love Back” which includes heat-seeking singles, “Long Night”, “My Honey” and “Just Ask”.

The promotion will end January 11th at midnight.

All members who respond after the first 50 winners are locked in will be entered into a random e-lottery for their responses/name credits to appear in major press widgets for LaDeana Michelle. All winners will be notified via e-mail.

LaDeana Michelle is offering the free gift as a token of appreciation for the multitude of fans and friends who were patient with a site they mistook for being her official site. The site was merely a site put up by a fan, which resulted in no responses from LaDeana Michelle. With the oversight currently corrected and LaDeana Michelle's official Facebook site currently active, the talented artist felt she should offer something for the inconvenience. “We tried to communicate through my official sites that my official Myspace, Facebook and other sites were not released yet, but with the wealth of information on the net, who can remember what’s what?” Michelle admitted. “However, I thank everyone for sticking in with me, and the free download of the new release is their reward.”

“Bringing Love Back” was written, produced and arranged by the multi-faceted artist and is currently available at all major online retailers.

R&B/Pop/Soul Singer & Producer LaDeana Michelle's New Joint "Long Night" is BLAZING Hot!

2009-12-28T22:42:00.000-08:00

LaDeana Michelle, singer, songwriter, producer, musician, arranger, actress and more, has once again given us something we can feel. However, this time, she’s ditched the legendary tributes (though we’ve immensely enjoyed them) and given us a bird’s eye view of the phenomenal music we can expect from her forthcoming debut album in 2010. No offense—I like Obama, Dr. Martin Luther King and Michael Jackson like the next man, but I wanted more of LaDeana Michelle…in the flesh. I know she ain’t out yet, but give a brutha somethin’ to work with—feel me? I saw some of her in “SEVEN”, but I got caught up in the world issues surrounding the video and couldn’t concentrate on all that beauty like I wanted to. However, this time, she has given us more of her.

Yeah, baby. The beautiful cocoa goddess has this time given us “Long Night”.

Written, produced, arranged, composed and performed by LaDeana Michelle, “Long Night” is an extremely sensuous love song with strong, universal appeal. It was played over 100 times repeatedly during a recent focus study that was only supposed to spin it once. Undoubtedly addictive, the song offers a head-nodding, soul-stirring groove that awakens emotions in the same manner that skilled balladeers like Luther Vandross used to do. You know many of us were created by candlelight and Luther songs. That’s right. Now here we go again. The moment “Long Night” begins, it draws you in like a prescription drug—and you can’t stop listening until the song has ended. Once over, “Long Night” is in your blood….it’s in your head and you wanna immediately play it again and again. Sensuality oozes from LaDeana Michelle's outstanding, songbird vocals and feeds through your speakers like a dose of the most expensive champagne money can buy. You want to grab that special one, light the candles and forget about the outside world and its problems.

This is exactly the point of LaDeana Michelle's, “Bringing Love Back” – her hot, new release that embodies “Long Night”. The sultry video features steamy images and suggestive meanings that get the blood boiling, yet clearly conveys the class, style and significance fans everywhere have come to know LaDeana Michelle for. It don’t even matter that she ain’t pounding mainstream yet---people know what’s comin’. They feel her right now. She is circulating through the underground circuit like woah. The “Long Night” video reminds all who watch it of one element that seems to be a distant afterthought in music and in the world: Love. If you’ve forgotten what it means to love and be loved, don’t worry.

LaDeana Michelle will clearly remind you with “Long Night”.

The remaining songs on “Bringing Love Back” are just as hot. Her voice is candy sweet and oozes sensual overtones. All this is only the beginning of what is to come from the gorgeous, extremely talented young lady, whose debut album is predicted by worldwide critics to be one of the best to arrive in 2010. Beautiful, talented and intelligent, with an award-winning personality to match, LaDeana Michelle is a top-notch hottie/dream girl people LOVE with one of the most beautiful, timeless voices set to break barriers in 2010. Be prepared.

****Download “Long Night”, along with the rest of “Bringing Love Back” either at the Official Online Store at http://www.ladeanamichelle.com, or on iTunes, CDBaby or any other major online retailer. Wherever you find it, roll with it. You just need to have it.

What you waitin’ for? Get your love on. You need a resolution.

LaDeana Michelle's "Bringing Love Back" - Have U Heard It Yet?

2009-12-10T23:54:00.000-08:00

LaDeana Michelle. Yeah, baby. We are talking about the beautiful, sultry songwriter, producer, multi-octave vocalist, author, actress, screenwriter and more. She is the same intelligent charmer with a tall resume and a laundry list of endless skills, who first gave us unforgettable visuals and distinctive vocal abilities on “Keep Your Faith”, the official “2009 Barack Obama Inauguration Song” and followed that up with the emotionally-charged “Believe”, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King.

She took things a step further and dangled more of herself in mid-air with the release of the mini-movie (if you will) entitled, “Seven", a compelling video embodying six of her most requested songs, and a bonus song that surprised many—while highlighting issues such as genocide, starvation, racism, hatred, and at the same time, the clear message of love. (“Seven” was fire, btw).

The loveable stunner went on to grace us with a steaming hot Valentine’s Day release, “Inside Love’s Window”, which featured her timeless, most requested romantic ballads “I Can’t” and “More Than Friends”, previously featured on The Urban Music Scene, which ranked #1 in two top ten R&B and Urban charts and placed LaDeana Michelle as a top 25 artist overall on Soundclick, a music-based, social community that reports over 3 million songs, 436,000 bands and artists, and close to 4 million registered members. Each and every song/video LaDeana Michelle released was a branch from her official 2009 “Love Quarter” campaign--a campaign which promotes love, social awareness, unity and change through music and visual arts from January 1st through March 31st, set to run every first quarter for the next nine years. We curiously opened our eyes to see what this gorgeous relative of soul legends Sam Cooke and Eddie Kendricks (Temptations) had to offer.

And then there was….silence. Or so it appeared. Wait---did we forget?

Everything we’ve heard up to this moment has been merely previews to one of the hottest talents to come. It’s what happens when a multi-faceted producer like her, or like similar predecessors Prince, R. Kelly, Ne-Yo, etc. has tons of songs in their arsenal, or writes and records endless songs per week, as she does. Many didn’t realize LaDeana Michelle was never officially released to the world yet. Her camp was merely responding to “leaks” of her music, events and the way she feels about world issues (i.e. our historic new President). Apparently, many of the websites associated with her name were merely sites put up by fans—none of them truly official at all. Her official MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and Black Planet sites have not been released yet. Then, there’s the hot joints pounding away on her website, www.ladeanamichelle.com, and on her popular fansite, www.ladeanamichelle.net, of which is probably not from her forthcoming album either, but is sparking flames just the same. Unmistakably desirable, LaDeana Michelle further draws you in, with her sexy-but-classy photos, delivering her usual sweet spark and dark, sexy curls to compliment that smooth, brown skin we love. Yep. Shawty got us ablaze.

Additionally, her trademark slogan, “Changing lives one day at a time” became highly infectious. Still is. The moment people heard this beauty’s voice, they wanted more….craved more and are still waiting, watching and wondering—where is that “more”—the “more” that will help change lives one day at a time? Where is she? Why the silence? Why has LaDeana Michelle stopped being publicly “spotted” around both the Los Angeles and Bay Areas? Why has she not Twittered in forever, or shown up on any of her social sites? Michael Jackson’s passing forced a turn in things. LaDeana Michelle responded with a “Rare” video tribute on YouTube, honoring the fallen icon. People deeply felt her distinctive, melodic voice as they mourned in unison around the world.

Then "Bringing Love Back" hit us like a hydrogen bomb—without any advance warning.

There it was…in your face…an explosion mix of three of the most sensual, sexy, romantically-charged songs you ever want to hear in a row. We didn’t see them coming—no press releases, no forewarnings on her websites—nothing. Yet, fans all over the world are catching wind and rushing to catch up to the hype. Rave reviews are pouring in all over, as the rush for fans and new admirers to have LaDeana Michelle’s latest release is looking a bit like Black Friday. After all…how could we stand to not have it?

It is a lovers’ mix. There couldn’t have been a better title for this release. Love is back through LaDeana Michelle. No dupes—she is the current trendsetter of what’s been missing. Her unique voice, style and swagger is rhythmic silk, baby. She is mysterious and unpredictable, but irresistibly addictive. In a time of world unrest, LaDeana Michelle is undoubtedly yielding that one crucial thing in its purest form that the world seems to be devoid of: Love.

"Bringing Love Back" is undiluted fire. If you don’t yet have it, this oversight should change on your next mouse click.

G’head. Do it. You won’t regret it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADEANA MICHELLE!!

We all want to wish LaDeana Michelle a very happy birthday! The sexy starlet was recently spotted in the Los Angeles area at a fashion show.

Her camp reports that she is in knee-deep in upcoming projects and probably won't have a big party this year. With a love for traveling and exploring, dipping away with family and close friends will probably be her celebration of choice.

Oh well. Maybe next year she will host that shindig we've been waiting for in Malibu, waterside.

Til' then...LaDeana Michelle...enjoy your birthday week and stay sweet, shawty!

You know what it is.

LaDeana Michelle Delivers Big With “RARE” on YouTube for the Late Michael Jackson

2009-08-06T22:51:00.000-07:00

To say one can "talk something up" is an understatement.

Shortly after our last article on LaDeana Michelle, she surprised everyone with “Rare”--an emotional pop-song video tribute on YouTube--to the late, legendary Michael Jackson. Apparently, she was just as devastated as the rest of the world upon news of his untimely passing and wanted to share her opinion of the icon.

According to LaDeana Michelle, who wrote, produced, arranged, composed and performed “Rare”, the song’s lyrics describe how fans who loved him truly felt---admirers, who, like LaDeana, thought the nickname of “Jacko” was degrading. Fans were “in love” with Michael—not necessarily in a romantic way, but with an unyielding bond, adoration and respect. “Fans either grew up listening to Michael since he was a child, or came to know Michael just by one of the many entertainment contributions he showered the world with. Young or old, rich or poor, no one could deny his talent and imprint upon the world.” LaDeana says.

With LaDeana Michelle’s beautiful, impressive voice behind it, the “Rare” video features excerpts from Michael Jackson’s most memorable videos such as “Thriller”, “Beat It”, “Remember the Time”, “Billie Jean” (Motown live performance), “Smooth Criminal”, and heartfelt footage of Michael as a caring, humanitarian that saved the life of a young child in need of a liver, and visited just as many orphanages and hospitals as he performed in concerts.

The video also features Michael Jackson and family members in rather enjoyable, sequential montages dating back from the time he was a very young boy, up to the time of his death.

LaDeana Michelle yet again hits home with another great tribute—on this account---honoring one of the best entertainers of all time.

LaDeana Michelle.....Where Ya' At!

2009-08-03T03:50:00.000-07:00

Didn't you know? "Where Ya' At" is merely one way we greet friends in New Orleans.

Ah….LaDeana Michelle. Where Ya' At, baby!

She's that beautiful songwriter, producer and multi-octave vocalist who first gave us unforgettable visuals and distinctive vocal skills on “Keep Your Faith”, the official “2009 Barack Obama Inauguration Song” and followed that up with the emotionally-charged “Believe”, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King.

She took things a step further and dangled more of herself in mid-air with the release of the mini-movie (if you will) entitled, “SEVEN”, a compelling video embodying six of her most requested songs, and a bonus song that surprised many—while highlighting issues such as genocide, starvation, racism, hatred, and at the same time, the clear message of love. (“SEVEN” was fire, btw). She then went on to grace us with a steaming hot Valentine’s Day release, “Inside Love’s Window”, which featured her timeless, most requested romantic ballads “I Can’t” and “More Than Friends”. Each and every song/video released was a branch from her official 2009 “Love Quarter” campaign--a campaign which promotes love, social awareness, unity and change through music and visual arts from January 1st through March 31st, set to run every first quarter for the next nine years.

And then there was….silence. Or so it appeared.

Wait---did we forget? Everything we’ve heard to this moment has been merely previews to one of the hottest talents to come. It’s what happens when a multi-faceted producer like her, or like similar predecessors Prince, R. Kelly, Ne-Yo, etc. has tons of songs in their arsenal, or writes and records endless songs per week, as she does. Many didn’t realize LaDeana Michelle was never officially released to the world yet. Her camp was merely responding to “leaks” of her music, events and the way she feels about world issues (i.e. our historic new President). Apparently, many of the websites associated with her name were merely sites put up by fans—none of them truly official at all. Additionally, her trademark slogan “Changing lives one day at a time” became highly infectious. Still is. The moment people heard her voice, they wanted more….craved more and are still waiting, watching, wondering—where is that “more”? More that will help change lives one day at a time? Where is she? Why the silence? Additionally, why has LaDeana Michelle stopped being publicly “spotted” around both the Los Angeles and Bay Areas? More significantly, she hasn’t TWITTERED in a while. Why not?

Glad you asked.

Her camp reports she has been in the middle of one of the largest multi-million dollar business deals of her life (after all, she is a businesswoman, like her peers Oprah Winfrey, Kimora Lee Simmons and others). She has traded skating nights (she is an avid “soul”/trained skater) and social gatherings (not really a heavy clubber, anyway) for live sporting events, hiking, swimming, intensive workouts/training and strict focus on all that is to come. Negotiations dominate her time outside of working on her highly-anticipated full-length album, a book series (yes, she’s also an author) a fashion/fragrance line and several upcoming films. She was last seen holed up in one of her favorite cities (ahem…Tiburon) where she was doing what many authors do…stealing peace to write and create. She is still contemplating an international tour and is still set to launch foundation-based social programs dedicated to cultivate low-income youth and starving children worldwide.

Oh.......and she’s got HOT summer music pounding away on her website, www.ladeanamichelle.com, of which is probably not from her forthcoming album either, but is hot just the same. Unmistakably gorgeous, LaDeana Michelle glows with her usual sweet spark and sports dark, sexy curls to compliment that smooth, brown skin we love. This site, www.ladeanamichelle.com HAS to be official, right? Guess we’ll know the truth sooner or later. Right now, we love what we are hearing.

We are currently awaiting word on the exact release date of LaDeana Michelle’s first 2009 album single. Her camp seems to be confident that the breakout worldwide track will be released at “a time least expected, but in a way much accepted”. The album is slated to be SIZZLING and will return a component to music that has seemingly gone into hibernation.

LaDeana Michelle is not silent at all. Word is…she is expected to Tweet on Twitter any day now, if she hasn’t already. Join up and follow her now, if you dare. Bottom line? Be prepared. Like an active volcano, she’s brewing and unpredictable. We may not know exactly when she will spout, but we know it is inevitable that she will. From everything we have heard---preview to preview---of her phenomenal voice, style and influential messages within her music and lyrics, whenever LaDeana Michelle rears her lovely head above water for good, there won’t be a soul alive who will be able to resist her.

LaDeana Michelle's "Inside Love's Window” Garners Five-Star Rave Reviews

2009-02-14T05:04:00.001-08:00

LaDeana Michelle’s “Inside Love’s Window” debuted early Friday, to give reviewers an opportunity to rate the release. Fortunately, for the Oakland-born beauty, all reviews were consistent at five stars (out of five), praising her for a spectacular voice and outstanding skills as a songwriter, producer and arranger.

I have included two of my favorite reviews here:

Review#1

Review#2

I have to add five stars to the pile, as well. “Inside Love’s Window”, released on Valentine’s Day, could not have been more appropriate. “I Can’t” and “More Than Friends” definitely satisfies those who have the desire for love and/or romance—which is probably the general public masses. Who DOESN’T want love? However, if there is someone of that rare breed, who can care less about love, they will still enjoy LaDeana Michelle’s penetrating, distinctive voice, which commands attention—no matter which way the pendulum of their appetite for love swings.

Right on time, “Inside Love’s Window” is currently available for exclusive download on LaDeanaMichelle.com, CDBaby.com, iTunes and a host of other online retailers.

The talented prodigy is reportedly still finishing up her debut album, while nailing down a slew of business deals. She is also in negotiations for her international debut tour, a biopic feature film of major music legends (unnamed at this time) and several other films of her own. LaDeana Michelle is officially set to launch a major toy drive for sick and orphaned children, Christmas, 2009.

In the meantime, you will want to download “Inside Love’s Window.” It will ultimately be one of the wisest musical decisions you’ve made.

LaDeana Michelle’s “Believe” reportedly received the most hits ever recorded by the magazine in its history. Also notable, is her latest video installment entitled, “SEVEN”, which features seven of her self-produced songs, exposes more of her as an artist and explores widespread issues such as love/relationships, racism, the homeless, genocide, starvation and more.
