Five-time Grammy nominated artist and producer Terrace Martin has unveiled his latest project, I Left My Heart In Ladera, with vocalist Alex Isley (from the hit “Good & Plenty” feat. Masego, Lucky Daye, Jack Dine) via the Sounds of Crenshaw / BMG. In his role as a curator and producer, the project is a continuation of Terrace Martin’s legacy and the enduring power of R&B and jazz music. Serving as a heartfelt tribute to the vibrant neighbourhoods of Ladera and Crenshaw in Los Angeles, the album stands as an extension of the Black culture, intellect, art, and global influences that originated there.

The opening track and lead single on the album, an illuminating cover of Sade’s “Paradise,” transcends mere nomenclature. It’s a musical journey into a state of euphoria brought on by Martin’s creative genius and Isley’s silky vocals. Bringing “Paradise” to life in a highly stylized music video directed by child. (Doja Cat, Post Malone, H.E.R), with broadcast premieres on MTV and BET, Martin has drawn on both familiar renowned voices and fresh talent to shape the album’s distinctive sound. Notable contributions from jazz greats like Robert Glasper and Paul Cornish leave an indelible impression on the tracks they grace.
