Leela James offers another soulful taste from her forthcoming album, Did It For Love, by releasing the new gem, “Don’t Mean a Thang.”
On the thumping, laidback groove (which follows “I Remember,” “Don’t Want You Back,” “All Over Again,” and “Hard For Me“), the soulful songstress mulls over her doubts over a relationship.
As usual, Leela paints vivid pictures with her in your face lyrics: “I don’t know if this is real, is it real? / Cause I’m feeling something, but it ain’t good for nothing / If we gon’ be, you gotta give me, everything.”
“Did It For Love” will arrive on Friday, March 31.
