Lalah Hathaway

Ebony,  Oct, 2004  

On Outrun the Sky (Mesa/Blue Moon Recordings), there is no clue that the talented Lalah Hathaway hasn't released a solo recording in 10 years. Effortlessly, she pulls listeners into her universe with rich vocals, lush lyrics and full-bodied rhythms. The set opens with the catchy, infectious "Your Favorite Song," which will surely become just that for many listeners.

Mike City produced this gem, as well as the smooth and smoky "Better & Better." The sultry chanteuse pays homage to Luther Vandross with her cover of "Forever For Always For Love," while the track "Boston" is a haunting meditation on lost love and lost innocence. Hathaway brings to mind her late father, music legend Donny Hathaway, on the poignant, guitar and organ-driven "Admit It," as well as on the moody title song. On all 13 tracks, Lalah shows that she has sustaining and substantial vocal power and talent. Her dad would be proud. Music connoissuers are happy.
