BURBANK, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 26, 2006 -- Leela James' new video for the single, "Good Time," will be added to 'Soul Spotlight' rotation and an All Day Premiere on VH1 Soul. The video will premiere on Monday, 5/29, every hour on the hour and a 'Soul Spotlight' all week, which means it will receive 100+ spins in its first week.

What has Leela been up to in the last three months? On March 14, a digital EP of her live performance in New Orleans went on sale exclusively through iTunes (made available for download by other online retailers in April). The DMD went on sale the day after James appeared with Marc Broussard and Solomon Burke in a tribute to late soul legend Wilson Pickett at the 2006 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. James has also performed with Jamie Cullum in a tribute to Aretha Franklin at the UK Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in London last November.

James, whose throaty gospel-influenced voice has been described as "Chaka Khan meets Mahalia Jackson," was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding New Artist" and a Soul Train award for "Best New R&B-Soul Artist." You can check out Leela James at one of the upcoming dates, listed below.
