Ledisi is also beaming from her recent Grammy nomination for new single “Like This” in the Best R&B Performance category. Fans can view the 57th annual Grammy Awards on CBS on February 8th at 8pm ET.
Furthermore, Ledisi will be hitting the road again for “The Intimate Truth Tour”. The 20+ city tour will kick off in Los Angeles, February 27 at Club Nokia.

To add to her excitement, Ledisi is playing the legendary Mahalia Jackson in the well-received Paramount movie Selma, which premiered on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Selma is the story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s historic struggle to secure voting rights for all people – a dangerous and terrifying campaign that culminated with the epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, and led to President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The film also stars Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo, Cuba Gooding Jr., Common, Dylan Baker and more.
