Queen Latifah is Trav’lin’ Light. Free Download
Queen Latifah’s new album Trav’lin’ Light will be released by famed jazz label Verve Records in conjunction with Flavor Unit Entertainment on September 25. Produced by three-time Grammy® winner Tommy LiPuma and by Geffen Records chairman Ron Fair, the album is the long-awaited follow-up to Latifah’s critically-acclaimed and Grammy® nominated release The Dana Owens Album (2004).
Trav’lin’ Light is Latifah’s second foray into the realm of jazz, soul, and blues. Once again, she embraces a sultry and saucy mix of fabled female vocalists who’ve inspired her. Exploring the songbooks of PeggyLee, Etta James, Sarah Vaughn, Nina Simone, Shirley Horn, Carmen McRae, Roberta Flack, Mary Wells, Phoebe Snow, and more, Latifah adds her warm vocals and playful personality to a hand-picked mix of familiar classics and forgotten jewels.

You know, I’m glad Latifah is branching off into different genres, but it’s starting to look like one of those infomercials. “Queen Latifah sings the standards! Just $19.95 plus shipping and handling.” I’d rather see her do some original jazz pieces.
—NikkiI too am glad she is branching off, but yo…I want her to get back to her roots! She made a name for herself by being a dope female emcee in a male dominated world of sorts. Congradulations to her on the new album, but man I miss her killin a mic!
—Dan Tha FanWhat happened to the Soul 2 Sul Mixes? I really miss that part of this site ? Please upload some more.
Thanks,
