Labelle is back with one of the most anticipated recordings of 2008! Sounding every bit as sassy, fresh and edgy as in their heyday, Patti, Nona and Sarah have brought together some of the powerhouse talents of today & yesterday to create a true event. The first single 'Rollout' prominently features Wyclef Jean on an upbeat contemporary anthem that will expose Labelle to a whole new audience. Lenny Kravitz plays all over the three tracks he produced combining unique R&B retro sounds with his natural rock edge. The Masters of Philly Soul Kenneth Gamble & Leon A. Huff bring their magic to four of the album's ten tracks. The album closes with a recording of 'Miss Otis Regrets' from 1969. Produced by Kit Lambert.

Who let the air out of Patti?????:
I have been a fan of Patti and Labelle for many many years. This project suffers from mediocre to just plain poor songs. The reunion has played out to be a major wimper. Patti has continued to release very weak projects for the last few years. I hope she will regroup and surround herself with a better production and writing staff. Her voice deserves to be given better material. She is still one of the best if not the best female voice in music today.
