If Lalah and Jazmine did a song together I would fall TF out 😭😭😭💕

Her live version of Angel is my favorite! Her vocal ability is out of this world.

[@Themainmel]

My favorite changes constantly. Right now, I'm on Call Me. She got Redman to sing😂❤

[@Bumblebee0819]

The absolute best!

[@tonyav.5646]

Perfection!!!!!! Paid homage to three Anita Baker songs in one song!!! Whew!

[@Madein67]

I loved her version of Cherish the Day with Robert Glasper.

[@CSUGTV]

Her acoustic version of Change Ya Life is everything

[@kiracarter5454]

My 27 year old Son lost his battle with Mental illness on 03/07/2024. Lalah's song "When Your Life Was Low" is the song I chose to Memorialize him with. I love her music and have been a fan for many many years.

My condolences to you! I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@lwhite474]

My condolences to your family and that’s my favorite song

[@XcellTheArtist-1of1]

It’s not just her singing voice, but her SPEAKING voice! Very pleasant tone🔥

[@Whyareyoulying100]

Yea , it’s very clean

[@TheRetroWoman80]

Absolutely

[@SHOTTAeastcoast]

And she's beautiful

[@reemcfall]

That is crazy…no BET, Soul Train or NAACP awards. I’m so disappointed to hear this because she’s one of the BEST voices of our time! 😮😏

[@TheRetroWoman80]

I hear you. But the more I'm removed from my 80s childhood, the more I see these awards shows validate nothing. These singers' talent validate themselves😉 At least the ones from yesteryear. It was like they did not even need to go into the studio, feel me??

[@brucewaynethachef]

The only time I saw her on the BET awards was honoring Anita Baker

[@nenej12]

Doesn’t she have Grammys?

[@brucewaynethachef]

@@nenej12 that she does, but nothing from the others is crazy

[@clariseharrington8252]

Ikr, that's wild. Especially given her lineage.

Her and her father have such anointed voices.

LALAH HATHAWAY, JAZMINE SULLIVAN & ALEX ISLEY, AN INCREDIBLE OUT OF THIS WORLD ALBUM MASTERPIECE.

[@Tonya1016tator]

So true!

[@staggersmusic]

Lalah is the epitome of multiple music genres like Jazz, R&B, Neo-Soul and much more. Her singing is so intense YET soft as the most sensual woman ❤

[@LLISA1234]

Let's be honest a lot of present day R&B be trying tooooooo hard to cross over now... It's missing real deapth, passion, feeling- it's missing soul!! But Lalah is one of the artists that still brings all of it❣❣ I just had to get that out- I'm done commenting... Just gone listen to this R&B Royalty from here on out!!

[@Allthingsarepossibl3]

Very true

[@cindyc12]

Agreed...

[@96no12]

Disagree. The real issue is y'all throw the RnB label on any artist with black skin and then complain when they don't do "RnB music" in the way YOU think it needs to be done, when the artist that u forced that label on has never called themselves a strictly RnB artist. The problem with putting a genre label on everything and always approaching music with that mindset, is that it hinders your ability to enjoy and experience the music in its fullness. Black ppl need to open their minds and stop limiting themselves strictly to what we've been fed by these record labels that want to push boxed in black artists and create closed minded black listeners. There's nothing to cross over to when every genre that exists comes from US and our creativity. Reclaiming genres of music that was already ours is not "trying to cross over". Pop music is BLACK. House music is BLACK. Techno is BLACK. EDM is BLACK. Rock music is BLACK. RnB is suffering because it's oversimplified because we keep calling everyone black "RnB" and then shaming them when they don't meet RnB expectations. Prince wasn't JUST a rock artist just because he held a guitar in his hand. As a black audience, we need to be more open minded and expand our horizons or better yet, support black artists who are RnB genre purists. There's plenty of them out there.

[@BarLadyy]

@@96no12 Which is why folks are struggling with Beyoncé’s new music…..excellent post.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

@@96no12Agreed with so much of what you posted but I do have a question: _are you going to hold white folks to the same standard?_ Caucasians love both Beyonce and Rihanna so much but why isn’t this same admiration extended to, say, Ari Lennox and Jazmine Sullivan?? I ask that bc the majority have no qualms with liking several white female singers @ the same time eg Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo, Katy Perry, P!nk, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Adele, Britney Spears...

[@kiacastellanos8559]

I don’t think music lovers really understand the level of gravity Lalah is on, you have to experience her live, her mic is never off

[@PlayinInTheDark]

A Hathaway is a category in itself

[@teresadavis528]

I love that she's grounded and stayed true to who she is. She never compromised her sound or appearance for the music business.

[@christiepalmer-davis7724]

I can’t take her singing off key and with such a serious face. I scared my kids. Omgggg😂😂😂😂😂

Naw but the way Tank was soooo lost and couldn’t hold it in anymore. He was the same way I was. Like where did you go to school?? I live for learning a new word and the way she uses her’s are more intriguing than when T.I. Does it. No knock to him but I’m sure you get what I mean after watching and listening to her.

[@MrAveryBrown94]

Lalah’s music has touched my heart in ways, I can’t even fully explain. If you don’t have her latest album, VANTABLACK, get into that today!

[@MrAveryBrown94]

There’s a song from Lalah’s ‘Honestly’ album, called “Y O Y.” The first time I heard that song in 2018, it brought me to tears. Now, many of Lalah’s songs have brought that same reaction, but that one (specifically) really touched my heart.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

That title alone is very intriguing. Thanks for the heads up.

[@NJ081686]

That piece of work is magnificently fire🔥🔥🔥

"Baby, baby don't cry." Tank don't remember that ?? "Heaven Only Knows" was a good one on that album as well. This woman is a PHENOM !! I still can't make up my mind on who makes the best remakes Keith Sweat, Luther Vandross or this lady. They know how to make the original versions all their own.

[@C.Quince]

That whole “we need a place to go” conversation abt the lack of a Arsenio Hall-esque environment is interesting, because I see The Terrell Show as that place these days. Terrell Grice is a great example of trying to bring that spirit into the modern age of the Internet w his KZbin channel!
