Critically acclaimed vocalist and song stylist Lalah Hathaway continues the musical legacy with her Stax Records debut "Self Portrait," a contemporary urban soul collection that takes you on a journey through joy and sadness and everything in between. Features the new single "Let Go." The daughter of soul legend Donny Hathaway, Lalah is well respected in both Jazz and R&B. This album is an introspective journey into the contemporary adult R&B world. Self Portrait will truly satisfy Lalah's core fans and is so refreshing that it will guarantee new fans will become Lalah fans.

Summary: Flawless
Comment: This is quite possibly the best album from Hathaway (counting even her collaboration with Sample). If you're in the mood for a Sade-type CD - consistent, smooth, nuanced and worthy of repeated listening, it doesn't get much better than this. My only reservation would be the CD artwork - it's as unexceptional as the album is sophisticated. This impeccable CD deserves a classier look.

Summary: Following Her Father's Legacy
Comment: Lalah Hathaway like Donny Hathaway has such a spirit in his voice that it could bring you to tears and everytime I hear his daughter sing I am reminded of it. This project, every track is so moving, emotional and heartfelt that it leaves you wanting more. And the collabo with Rashaun Patterson is such a perfect fit with his vocal range that you just sing along with admiration, then replay it again. I can't say enough good things about this Self Portrait but that it looks and sounds like a classic Hathaway.

Comment: Most of us buy CD's hoping that the first song is an indication of what the CD will be like. Not the case with this one. I felt like I was a part of a bad day as I listened to this one.
