release description

Ladybug Mecca of the beloved, breakout hip-hop group Digable Planets has the mic all to herself now. Her first solo effort, 'Trip the Light Fantastic,' shows that her voice can easily sing rock like a pro - take a listen to the feisty "Don't Disturb the Peace" - and she can easily make the transformation into future jazz. Fear not though, her rhymes are still fiercely funky and the album contains all of the above. URB magazine called Ladybug one of the Hot 100 of the year and she is indeed smokin'! Catch her on tour this summer with her old pals from Digable Planets, but also check out what she has to say about love, life, motherhood, sex and fantasy on her long-awaited, greatly anticipated solo debut.

"Littered with layers of musical textures extending from Afro-beat, 80s electro and Bossanova sounds that echo her Brazilian heritage, topped off with a steady thump of straight hip-hop beats, the record displays that Ladybug Mecca can still flow." — ONEWORLD Magazine

"Armed with her new-found musical freedom, burgeoning philosophical awareness and a solid sense of self, Ladybug Mecca is in a position to find her voice all over again, and we could be in for something special." — RIME Magazine

"Bearing transformation into motherhood, Ladybug Mecca returns with a reawakened level of high feminine energy that’s reflected on her burning new project titled 'Trip The Light Fantastic'" — YRB Magazine
