I've been listening to these 2 albums back to back for the past couple of days...



Her voice is like butter

I should get those. I used to really like Lalah as a kid.

My favorite:
Somethin'


Baby Don't Cry


Heaven Knows


Let Me Love You

Self-Portrait & Outrun The Sky are better by FAAAAR than her early 90s album.

You'd be surprised @ how much you'll enjoy 'em. Her cover of Luther's Forever, For Always, For Love is really outta this universe he would've been proud.

Her Father would have been so proud of her.

She's great. I saw a live show on TV called the "Daughters Of Soul" she performed here in The Netherlands. It was Chaka's daughter Nina's daughter and Lalah. Amazing show. And she showed off her vocal ability. Sick.

A clip for you Harle enjoy. Stevie & Lalah. Btw miss Sheila E is there too!

Chile, chile, CHILE. You just gave me the inspiration for what to play on this Sunday evenin' while I'm cookin'. I can't find the original on cd that she did with Joe Sample, but this is just as tasty:

I agree Self Portrait and Outrun the Sky were definitely better
artistically than her early 90's albums. I did like most of the
tracks on her second album. Outrun the Sky was definitely her
best album. Self Portrait isn't far behind.

Her version of When Your Life Was low brings me to tears. She is playing here in Chicago next weekend.

I have all of her CD's, I like "A Moment", the best. Her sister Kenya, isn't so bad either.

I saw her mentioned the first time in the liner-notes of Lalah's second album, and as one of the singers of Lalah's tourband. Wonder if she will record or already recorded on her own.




Lalah's debut single :

"Better And Better" would initially appear on an Eric Benet-album, and a limited quantity of promo-singles from Eric's version circulated in the radio-circuit, which caused (especially in the UK) quite a hype for awhile :



Her current vibe i'm cruising on :

Shango said:

I think she is in the process of recording her album as we speak. She has sang with the American Idol band, for years and does allot of stuff overseas.

shorttrini said:

Thanks for the heads up !

VERY intersting interview...



I like what she said about herself....you could tell this woman is pretty grounded.

Shango said:

There is also a third daughter, but I don't know if she is in the business. Either way, Donny must be smiling, up there.

This cd is never to far from my rotation. I have every thing Ms. Hathaway ever recorded and I don't think she's made a weak album yet. This Sista should have "blown up" all over the place a long time ago... the clueless record company's and radio stations.

TD3 said:

I agree. I remember when her cd, "A Moment" came out, years ago. I snatched it up. Not too long after, it was borrowed and never seen again. I recently paid 25 bucks on ebay for it. It had been out of print, but someone had it, so I got it back...Worth every penny!!

shorttrini said:

Wow, cool. I wasn't aware of that. Thanks again. Yeah, Donny's blessed.

Love this woman she will be here in San Diego on the 31st...

I used to think Lalah could do no wrong. Her first 3 albums were fantastic! But, then, she drops "Self Portrait". Not anywhere near her best. I'm not sure what happened.

Vendetta1 said:

Me, too. Heart-wrenching, incredible performance from Lalah (often wondered why she's been largely ignored by The Grammys?). That's a song I always had a difficult time listening to. The lyrics remind me of someone in my life.

kitbradley said:

I'm with you. I was disappointed when I bought it. Love all her albums, got them all and the collaborations.

But I expected more.

Yeah, Outrun The Sky was nice. And I also wanna fuck. Oh, the thickness and those soupcoolas!!

...

One of my favorites is "Smile", with the Yellowjackets' keyboardist Russ Ferrante....
