LYFE JENNINGS IS GOING THROUGH CHANGES: But isn't that what life is all about?

Lyfe Jennings is as much gospel singer, as he is R&B crooner as he is blues guitarist. The young man spends most of his time between New York City and Atlanta, Ga.

The Toledo, Ohio bred talent once served 10 years for arson and has many stories to tell. He says though a large part of his life was spent behind bars, his music - though based upon his own experiences - is not all bad or good. It's just based on life.


"It's sort of autobiographical," Jennings told our reporter. "I don't just want to talk about everything that happens in the bad times, but in the good times as well. I like to talk about some of the things that I've changed, and some of them that I haven't changed. I'm talking about some of things that I have to do to get to that change."


Change is indeed a constant in the growth of any person's growth and personal evolution so it seems as though Lyfe is on the right track. Speaking of change, "Changes" is the name of his forthcoming third album due out in the spring of 2008.


"Y'all watch out for my third album, it's coming in March, called 'Changes'," Jennings told EURweb. "Talib Kweli is on it, Snoop Dogg is on it, Wyclef is on it."


The celebration of the creation of new work is something any artist would celebrate. However that accomplishment is sure to be muffled by the death of Jennings' protege La La Brown, who was murdered along with her producer JeTannue Clayborn, in a Milwaukee studio on October 19 of last year. The two were 21 and 22 years old respectively.


"LaLa Brown, she was on the song 'S.E.X.', rest in peace to LaLa Brown,' recalled Jennings. He added "I think it's a shame that people don't respect life. A lot of times it seems these young people are living there whole lives in one night and they wake up in the morning not here at all. So, no matter what you do, if you're out at the club or if you're in the church I think you gotta respect your surroundings, keep an eye on your surroundings, so you can still have those surroundings when you wake up because it's important."
