#NewMusic: Lalah Hathaway Releases Eighth Studio Album ‘VANTABLACK’

With the releases of previous singles “So In Love” and “I Am,” Lalah Hathaway has released her eighth studio album entitled “VANTABLACK.”

The 16-track album has features from Common, MC Lyte, Rapsody, Michael McDonald, Phonte, Gerald Albright and WILLOW. Hathaway said that “VANTABLACK” was always the title of her album,.

“I started reframing how I saw color, in terms of being the blackest I’ve ever been and even though I’m steeped in who I am, it doesn’t exclude the other things that make up the sum of me,” Hathaway said. “Similar to how all the music around me informs the black music that I create. So it’s all a melting pot of all of me.”

The third song to be released from the album was the sensual, “Mood For You” featuring MC Lyte.
