From the album Where It All Begins, due out October 18.

It's alright, but I was kinda meh throughout the whole thing. Everything sounds the same now. Honestly, it sounds like a Mary Mary b-side.

I don't know why but I just can't get into her music. I want to like her but she bores me.

Not as much as India.Irie bores me , with her "Romper Room" style vocals.

Well yeah she gives me a big snooze fest too.

Not feeling it

I love it. I guess i'm the only one who digs it. It's just different strokes for different folks.

It's like some of this music people like to call new funk like Jamiroqui, Chromeo, Dam Funk, etc just

is a big snoozefest to me. I loved Lalah's last cd Self-Portrait and more than likely

will be picking this up and Van Hunt which will be only the 3rd and 4th new cd's i bought

this year.

I feel ya bro.

This is a pretty good track. Not the biggest Lalah fan, but this was good. I still blast Self Portrait every now and then.

I kinda dig it. I look forward to the CD. "Self Portrait" is the only Lalah CD that I wasn't able to get in to.

Lalah Hathaway To Deliver Where It All Begins Next Month

September 5, 2011

Press release:

Lalah Hathaway will release her sixth solo album, Where It All Begins, on October 18th, 2011.

"Everybody is an artist in some way," Hathaway enthuses, "I wanted to explore what that really means. For me it meant walking into being the artist I've always wanted to be. It was an opportunity for me to embrace my independence as an artist through my music and connection to my fans."

Hathaway brings that message home splendidly on the gorgeous title track, penned by her and Ernest Green. "If you say what you mean/And mean what you say," she croons at the beginning of "Where It All Begins", showcasing her sensual alto over a languid, hypnotic groove.

In addition to Green, Hathaway recruited other esteemed kindred spirits to either co-write or contribute tailor-made tunes. The list includes Lewis Williams, Lee Hutson, Jr., Errol Cooney, James Day, James Fauntleroy,Rahsaan Patterson, Terrence Lilly, Jonathan Richmond, Mike City, Dave Young, Bryan Sledge,Eddie Serrano, Rich King,Andre Harris and Vidal Davis. Recruiting such top-tier songwriters – some of who have penned hits for Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, Bilal, Babyface, Musiq Soulchild, and host of others, demonstrates Hathaway's long-held status in contemporary R&B.

It's my favorite one by her followed by Outrun the Sky

I like it and with repeated spins of a cd quality link.... it will definitely grow on me. Love Lalah, she is in the Top 5 of the greatest female vocalists of this era.
