The former member of the R&B female group Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett has exclusively premiered her highly anticipated music video for "Good To Me" on Singersroom.com last Thursday. A follow up to the hit single "Regret," "Good To Me" is the fourth single to come from the "Torn" singer's 2009 sophomore effort "Lady Love," was directed by makeup artist AJ Crimson and features popular model/actor Keston Karter, who appears as LeToya's leading man and love interest. They are seen getting cozy in this newly-premiered video.Capitol recording R&B stunning star LeToya gets up close and personal with Karter and dedicates her latest song "Good to Me" to all the good men. It details the quest for the perfect man, one who doesn't merely appease women by offering materialistic gifts known as "pacifiers." LeToya has a head on her shoulders for sure. And that head is certainly on straight. This is the music video that all the kids have been anticipating just to see how the rumored down low Karter would pull off the straight man role. I think he did pretty good, but his HUD tendencies still shined right through. Especially during the cuddling scene on the sofa. Although being a low budget simple video it looks really nice and pretty decent as well, but reminiscent of a new coming artist. They managed to get out the best of it.
As much as we're feeling LeToya as well as the song, it's imperative to keep it real. The video left a lot to be desired. I totally fell in love with Letoya's last album "Lady Love," the project surprised me with it's versatility while maintaining a sensible balance and a good flow. "Good To Me" is the latest single from that album, though I must admit I was hoping for some different singles off this album.
LeToya is very much the modern-day Millie Jackson: relatable, authentic, audacious and adept in capturing the everywoman hiding behind closed shutters and curtains. By all appearances, LeToya's transitions have been both smooth and satisfying. But growth is never without struggle. Brand names are just that enduring. The blessing of a lifelong following is tempered by the curse of past accomplishments perpetually in tow. Many struggle when forced to step out from behind the name that's propelled them to tip-of-the-tongue currency. Only the rarest make those fledgling first steps count. LeToya is one such triumph. Part of the global groundswell known as Destiny's Child, LeToya won two Grammy Awards and released many successful commercial recordings.
