Ledisi’s uploaded her brand new single Goin’ Thru Changes on her website. The song about temptation and indecision is from her upcoming album Turn Me Loose, in stores on August 18th. The synthesized groove may sound familiar as she’s worked on this song with one of her Lost & Found producers Rex Rideout. That proved to be a winning formula and Goin’ Thru Changes sounds like a winner to me.

Turn Me Loose also features production from Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Raphael Saadiq, Chucky Thompson, Carvin & Ivan and Eric Krasno & Adam Deitch. With the exception of writing the Willie Nelson/Buddy Miles cover bonus track Ledisi co-wrote and produced all the songs on the new album. Based on the 14 song tracklist and credits below, could we be seeing more Grammy nominations for Ledisi?
