Your Girl is Back! LaDeana Michelle Shakes up Valentine’s Day with HOT New Single, Pays Tribute to Whitney Houston

The lovely cocoa goddess with the songbird voice....is back.

 

Pop/R&B/Soul mega-talent and business mogul LaDeana Michelle will release an exclusive single tomorrow, on Valentine’s Day to pay tribute to the spirit of love and remembrance for late legend, Whitney Houston.

“Not Over U” is LaDeana Michelle’s first 2012 release as part of her annual “Love Quarter” campaign (January 1^st-March 31st) set to run every first quarter for the next eight years. The campaign, which encompasses her notable slogan, “Changing Lives One Day at a Time”, promotes love, social awareness, unity and change through music and visual arts. Written, produced, arranged and composed by the multi-faceted artist, “Not Over U” has been praised by early listeners and critics as “deep” and reminiscent of the most memorable love songs of her legendary predecessor Prince, who, like LaDeana Michelle, writes, arranges and self-produces his releases.

LISTEN TO "NOT OVER U"

LaDeana Michelle, currently completing a book series, plans for a series of films and a new line of commercial jingles, wasn’t set to release anything at all until the first single from her forthcoming 2012 album surfaced.

That all changed when 48-year old Whitney Houston was found dead in her hotel room.

“I actually got the news before it hit most main media sources. I was crushed.” LaDeana Michelle admitted  today. “I grew up singing Whitney and attended her very first performance ever. She was unforgettable then. Whitney grew up knowing God, but fell and just couldn’t seem to…get up. I can only pray she made things right with Him before the end. Tomorrow’s release wasn’t in my original plans, but I am really hurting over this. Time constraints prevent me from producing what I really want to sing this moment, but right now, I feel like I need to give something. At least it’s a song about love. Love is what Whitney sang about.”

UPDATE: Despite time constraints, LaDeana Michelle will be throwing down some HOT new sounds for an upcoming film. More news on that to come.

LaDeana Michelle, a Vegetarian for over 10 years, currently a Vegan, donning natural, waist-length signature braids, who ensures smoking, drugs and alcohol (and the worst of foods) remain non-existent in her life, shares sentiments with singer Celine Dion, who stated today on “Good Morning America” how scared she is of drugs and of “hanging out”. LaDeana Michelle confessed that she just wasn't "built for foreign substances" in her body and has refused  to engage in any such activities at previous celeb functions or studio sessions.

Ironically, LaDeana Michelle is scheduled for an exclusive interview this week to discuss her “current feelings on the music industry and its practices”.

A photo tribute and statement posted on LaDeana Michelle’s official website today, strongly references Whitney Houston “in her prime” and pays tribute to the positive, overall image of “class” that initially made America fall in love with her. 

It is this identical "sweetheart" theme that LaDeana Michelle has offered fans worldwide who have grasped the influential messages in her music.

Her peace-loving, humble spirit unmistakably shines through the emergence of her positive-natured songs, "Keep Your Faith" (the official “Barack Obama Inauguration song) and “Believe”, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President Obama, which was 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. Also notable, was her impressive “Rare” 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. 

The only time LaDeana Michelle shed her garments was for her natural "Vegan" photo shoot last summer---of which, she was tastefully covered by a (you guessed it) sheet made of Vegan-friendly material. It's not her usual style, though. She'd rather take photographs with clothes ON. Sexy-classy. 

She may publicly sing the pants off of a seriously sensual love song, but she'd prefer to leave something to the imagination and save the deepest seduction for the bedroom.  A well-known 6'8 athlete recently said it best:

“LaDeana Michelle is not your typical, predictable girl.  She is beautiful and no-nonsense, but humble. Gentle, soft and sweet, but with a real edge to her—like the popular babe-cheerleader-sweetheart hottie u loved to hang with in high school because she was the only one who spoke to you out of the group.  She’s outgoing and friendly, yet extremely private.  She dislikes following trends with a passion. Instead, she seeks to set the tone.  Mix all that with her incredible voice and you’ve got a winner."

LaDeana Michelle’s “NotOver U” is not a tribute song to Whitney Houston directly (not that it necessarily had to be on such unexpected notice) but its message of love is clearly reminiscent of the late legend’s warmth, emotion and spirit. Whitney Houston was about feeling a song...and embracing it. LaDeana Michelle carries that same weight in her own style.

Like previous releases from LaDeana Michelle, the single was yielded to promote love, social awareness, unity and change through music and visual arts. “NotOverU” can be previewed RIGHT NOW at ladeanamichelle.com and downloaded TOMORROW, Valentine's Day, February 14th, 2012, exclusively, through the same site. Online distributors such as iTunes, Amazon and other worldwide radio sources will premier the single later this month. So, yes....YOU can be there first.

Whatever the case, LaDeana Michelle is and will always be known to her worldwide fans as the beautiful, cocoa-colored goddess, blessed with a soulful, distinctive songbird voice and style all her own. True, she is grieving hard, with the rest of America over the passing of her beloved Whitney Houston. 

However, LaDeana Michelle is deeply inspired by Whitney's memory to continue her own unique creation of positive, influential projects and fully carry on the legacy following a phenomenal class act who once called her "adorable".

As if she had a choice.

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

 ***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.

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

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.
