#NewMusic: Lalah Hathaway Releases ‘I Am,’ Second Single from Forthcoming ‘VANTABLACK’ Album

Lalah Hathaway switches the tempo on “I Am” ahead of her eighth studio album “VANTABLACK.”

The uptempo, affirmation-filled song has Hathaway carefully blending her voice and tone in a different style.

“‘I Am,’ I think people will be delighted to hear me with some tempo,” Hathaway said of the new single.” I’m always trying to figure out how to apply these lush tones over dance music! How can I be featured on the subwoofer in your G Wagon?”

Download “I Am” here.

Hathaway released her first single from the album, “So In Love,” earlier this month. The video later premiered on BET.com. The single has since cracked the Billboard R&B Top 40 charts.

VANTABLACK” will be globally released on June 14.
