The Intimate Truth Tour was the fourth concert tour by American singer Ledisi, in support of her live album The Intimate Truth (2015).

Background and development[edit]

In December 2014, Essence and Rated R&B reported that Ledisi would be embarking on her The Intimate Truth Tour.[1][2] Leela James and Raheem DeVaughn were announced as the tour's opening act.[2][3] The tour began in Los Angeles at Club Nokio on February 27, 2015. During the tour, Ledisi battled bronchitis.[4] In contrast with her live album The Intimate Truth, Ledisi performed several acoustic versions of her songs during the set list.[5]

Critical reception[edit]

Maura Johnston of The Boston Globe reviewed the March 19 concert. Johnston praised Ledisi's performance "Ledisi has been battling bronchitis for much of her current tour, but that fact was hardly apparent on Thursday; her voice is a marvel to behold, supercharging both her everyday observations and her late-night come-ons."[4] Melissa Ruggieri of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reviewed the final show of the tour in Atlanta. Ruggieri praised the acoustic segment of the concert stating "This tender moment felt like a live recording session, with Ledisi at her best authentic self – including playfully singing both the high and low parts of "Stay Together," a duet she sang on her "Pieces of Me" album with singer Jaheim. Of course, you knew it was going to be good, when she tuned up the band with her trademark freestyle scatting."[5]
