Widely predicted to be the winner of AMERICAN IDOL's 2004 season, Latoya London was abruptly voted off of the reality-TV show, shocking many viewers. Her staunch supporters will undoubtedly be pleased with LOVE & LIFE, which showcases London's dynamic voice amidst a finely crafted backdrop of sophisticated, pop-tinged R&B. Like Kelly Clarkson, London seems to have what it takes to transcend TV-novelty status, a quality that bodes well for a promising recording career.
