http://youknowigotsoul.com/?p=21337 When you've got Pharrell following your career for years and reaching out to work with you, and bringing Jermaine Dupri on board to help, there's no doubt you've got a great thing going. That was the reality for Leah LaBelle, a former finalist on American Idol who sustained her career by making YouTube covers that eventually caught the eye of Pharrell. Now signed with L.A. Reid and Epic Records, and with Pharrell and Jermaine Dupri working together to craft the fresh sound on her debut album, Leah LaBelle is poised to blow up if she hasn't already by the time you read this. YouKnowIGotSoul caught up with her on a recent promotional run in New York City and talked to her about originally linking up with Pharrell, the sound we can expect on her debut album, her lead single "Sexify", the contrast between working with Jermaine Dupri and Pharrell, and much more.
