LeToya

After a six-year absence following her split with Destiny's Child in 2000, LeToya returns with a solid debut album. Her success can be attributed to her modest approach. The Houston singer hits the notes she needs to and then leaves, refusing to smother the composition with showy theatrics. And her songs are undeniably catchy, if a bit stylistically schizophrenic. Famed N.Y.C. producer Just Blaze helms the excellent "U Got What I Need," while H-Town ambassador Paul Wall chimes in for the hypotonic and sludgy electro of "All Eyes on Me."
