前真命天女成员LeToya单飞后终于取得了成功,她的单曲Torn目前在Billboard杂志的单曲排行榜上名列第二。
LeToya曾有几年一直远离乐坛的聚光灯,她认为把新专辑用自己的名字命名无疑是让歌迷重新认识自己的最佳办法。这个专辑绝对是送给女性的,她说:"这个专辑的主题就是女性。"
LaToya Luckett在当地的教堂里唱歌长大,他的父亲也是一名歌手,他告诉大家女儿有唱歌的天赋,于是LeToya有机会在5岁时就在教堂里开始独唱。后来她加入了儿童合唱团,在上小学时就开始表演戏剧,在那里她遇到了碧昂斯并于1993年加入了真命天女组合。
作为音乐史上最成功的少女组合之一的原创成员,LaToya合作编写和表演了乐队的畅销曲目Bills Bills Bills和Say My Name。
2000年,就在乐队将发布其第三张专辑前不久,LaToya离开了乐队。随后她和另一名成员以及乐队的经理碧昂斯的父亲马修之间爆发了一场司法大战,媒体对此的报道也是很多。
这场官司最终和解,LaToya也得以从乐队那里得到所有出售的专辑的版税。但很长一段时间,她都无法摆脱乐队的阴影。她说:"我总是告诉别人,我有自己的名字,但人家总是问我,'你不就是那个真命天女的女孩吗?'现在人们终于知道我的名字了。"
在退出乐队后,她在休斯敦开了自己的时装店,后来她和碧昂斯也和好了。她说现在对于前乐队队友并没有什么成见,她说:"她们正在做她们的事情,她们在好莱坞拥有了一颗星,也有了这么多白金专辑,我为她们感到自豪。她们很努力,我现在是她们的歌迷。最近我们见了面,相互庆祝了一下。我们都长大了,都在为实现自己的梦想而努力。"
LeToya Torn lyrics
Verse 1:
A part of me wants to leave you alone
A part of me wants for you to come home
A part of me says I'm livin a lie (and I'm better off without you)
A part of me says to think it through
A part of me says I'm over you
A part of me wants to say goodbye
A part of me is asking why
1st Pre-Chorus:
A part of me wants to leave
But a part of me wants to be here with you
and everytime I think that we're over and done
you do something that gets me back lovin you
and you got me just torn
Chorus:
Torn in between the two
Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You aloneeeeeeee (leave you alone, leave you alone)
You got me just torn in between the two
Cuz I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You aloneeeee (leave you alone, leave you alone)
Verse 2:
What hurts the most is when we started out
It was cool it was everything that love?s about
But something happened
Cause I?m feeling so burned out
Becuz I can't understand you now
(I just can't understand you noooowwwww noooooooo oh)
A part of me says it?s all my fault
A part of me says he aint? what you want
A part of me says to get my bags
A part of me says I can?t do that
2nd Pre-Chorus:
A part of me wants to leave
But a part of me wants to be here with you
And everytime I think that it?s over and done
You make me fall back in love
You got me just torn?between the two
Chorus:
Torn in between the two
Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You aloneeeeeeee (leave you alone, leave you alone)
Bridge:
So many times I, I was ready to go
So many times I, had my foot out the door
So many times I, I thought to give him a chance
Thought he?d be a better man
Now I?m sitting here and I?m so confused
Cause I keep fighting myself for you
I don?t know how much more I can take
But I can?t feel this way
YOU GOT ME SO TORN!!!
Chorus:
Torn in between the two
Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You aloneeeeeeee (leave you alone, leave you alone)
