Rap-Up.com || New Music: LaTocha f/ Wale

Relationship drama gets the best of former Xscape member LaTocha on “Complicated,” a collaboration with Wale off her Truth ‘N the Booth mixtape, due later this summer. Written by Chef Tone and Lundon and produced by DJ Toomp, the mid-tempo R&B cut tells the story of what happens when a woman’s emotions get in the way of making a decision. Despite wanting to leave, she’s unable to walk out the door.

“Wale has a signature sound and his flow is crazy,” said LaTocha. “Because of the way he delivers, I had to have him on the record. After I heard the song ‘Lotus Flower Bomb,’ which also happens to be one of my favorite fragrances, I was hooked.”

This woman was the best singer in Xscape! Her voice is gorgeous and I will enjoy her transition in becoming a soul artist. I Love it!

Funny enough Escape reminds me of Destiny’s Child. Latocha being the ‘Kelly Rowland’ of the group with the rich and beautiful vocal tone while Kandi was the ‘Michelle Williams’ of the group with the distinctive and unlistenable voice.

Song is a grower.

@vershun, GURL BYE!!!! Kandi and the word vocalist should NEVA be used in the same sentence! Yes Kandi carried some leads on Xscape records however Tiny, Tameka & LaToch had far more vocal ability then Miss ‘I Fly Above all my haters” Do ya research boo boo… Kandi sung lead because of her hustle mentality not because of her vocal ability.

It’s pretty good. She was the best in Xscape and i loved her on that trick daddy song years ago.

The best part is when she sings, “whoa-oh, whoa-oooohhhhh”

I definitely get where Hello is coming from.. I think Kelly has the most pretty voice in the group while Michelle has the most terrible one. Sooo Latocha has the prettiest one and Michelle the unpretty voice..

YES!!!!! That girl can SANG! She was the perfect contrast to Kandi’s Harsh hard voice. Love them together, but apparently that won’t be happening.
