Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. What's up Young Hollywood, it's Michelle Marie. I'm here with LaToya Luckett here on the set of her video for "Regret" featuring Ludacris, and we're catching you in a really cool moment. You're getting your nails switched out in between scenes.
Yeah, I'm actually minked up right now, and we're switching to a gel nail that's underneath the mink nail, so...
Now this is a lot that goes into a video, guys. I mean, this is it's all day long. Tell me about how it's been so far.
It's been great. Everything's been running, well, I can't say running smoothly. We got stuck in an elevator, so, yeah. Um, but still out of that, we are all still laughing and having fun, so this should be a great video. Yeah.
Well, you you and Luda have great chemistry on set. I know you regret it, homie. You dropped your dime and I picked it up. She's mine. How did this all come together in the first place with him, as far as collaboration?
Um, I actually have always wanted to work with him, but he's always been so busy and so crazy, but I ended up getting in touch with his um, manager Shaka, who I've been friends with forever. And I was like, yo, can you play this for Luda, see if he like it. He ended up loving the record, cut a verse to it. Um, well, actually we talked before that and kind of came up with a concept and the the um, direction that he was gonna go in concerning his verse. And uh, we ended up coming up with the verse that you're hearing, so.
So tell the viewers the whole concept behind the video and the song.
It's very simple. I wanted something simple, easy, smooth, with a lot of swagger and that's exactly what we're going for. And we wanted people to relate to the video and not and not be about this and that and what I have on and the crazy lights and all these different things, like, I really had a message that I wanted to get out, like, "You must regret." So, the talking into the camera and all those different things. It's like having a conversation, and that's what I hope we get out of it.
You know how many girls are going to be playing that on repeat after their boyfriend breaks up with them?
I hope so. That's why I made the record. Yeah.
Well, one thing I may say is, you know, it's congratulations. I mean, you're climbing the charts, you're doing your thing. How's it been for you, you know, the past few years and the success that you've had?
It's been great. It's been great. Um, God has just been with me step-by-step, uh, album by album, everything that I do, so I'm very blessed and um, and just happy to be doing what it is I love to do.
Lady Love, tell me more about the album and what we can expect.
Yeah, a lot of great things from this album. "Regret" is on there featuring Ludacris. Tank did like three records. Um, I love Tank. Neo did my first single "Not Anymore." So many different people, but it's a great R&B album. You can listen to it from top to bottom and and I hope everybody will go out and purchase it.
So you've done so much. You've really been out there. I mean, you're one of the founding members of Destiny's Child. You're on your own right now. What do you love the most about, you know, the transition you've made into the solo?
Um, it was something I didn't expect, so it's been an adventure. It's been been kind of crazy. So, um, the fact that I've come this far, I'm very happy and blessed.
You look great and I might say, you know, good change. That was literally less than like a minute. See?
See? That's what we do. Thank you so much for your love and your support. I can't wait for y'all to check out the video.
