When a celeb retreats from the harsh glare of the limelight, they often return looking downtrodden after years of  being on hiatus. Not so for R&B singer LaTocha Scott, the former powerhouse of ’90s supergroup Xscape. Today, the songstress is revealing to her fans that she’s slimmed down considerably and dropped 50 pounds. Topping off the food news, her single, “Bad Timing,” has surpassed 100,000 downloads on iTunes.

With a slimmer figure, a music video for her single in the works, and a hush-hush performance on a nationally televised award show set for this summer, Scott has released a heartfelt letter to her dedicated fans. “I am so thankful for all the support you all have showed me throughout the years,” she wrote. “I was overwhelmed with the response to “Bad Timing” so I just wanted to say thank you.”

In addition to her letter, Scott is offering listeners who have yet to hear her new track a free preview below. In a previous interview with rolling out she described it as the first single from her new album that will be released after a complimentary mixtape.
