The Los Angeles-based group Livin' Out Loud are a versatile foursome, able to blend old-school soul sounds with 21st century dance, pop, and R&B. Members Reuben MacCalla, Sylvia MacCalla, Lisa LaShawn, and Jason "Martini" Martinez are all songwriters and vocalists. With their diverse backgrounds -- Reuben was an engineer, Sylvia toured the U.S. as a cast member of the musical Hairspray, Lisa co-wrote the song "Feel Me" for <a href="spotify:artist:2LJxr7Pt3JnP60eLxwbDOu">Mandy Moore</a>, while Martini was a backup singer for <a href="spotify:artist:2CvCyf1gEVhI0mX6aFXmVI">Paul Simon</a> -- it wasn't a big surprise that Livin' Out Loud would be an unclassifiable act. They first made an impression in the U.K. in 2004 when their singles "Why U Gotta Lie" and "Cuz I Gotta Know" became popular among dance and urban music fans. The 2005 track "Where's the Love" did well on U.S. dancefloors, and a year later their album What About Us spawned the singles "What About Us" and "All That Really Matters," the latter of which made a big U.K. splash thanks in part to an <a href="spotify:artist:49GY4uPAwdlk5lSGtfKWYl">MJ Cole</a> remix. As their third single, "Lately," was getting U.K. radio play in the summer of 2007, the What About Us album was re-released in America. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
