Five time Grammy Award-winning artist Lalah Hathaway has released her anticipated eighth studio album, honestly.
The 9-track album invites listeners to join the renowned songstress on a personal journey that is intimate, disruptive and most importantly, introspectively honest.
“From my day ones to my new ones, I honestly love you – thank you for all your support!” Lalah Hathaway said about the new album. “I can’t wait for you to hear the record.”
The effort follows the singer’s hit single “i can’t wait,” which soared on the Billboard R&B chart, along with its high energy music video, and titular track “honestly.”
“I just want to tell the truth. I’m not trying to write a narrative. I’m just trying to help the narrative be exposed,” Lalah exclusively told ThisisRnB in our recent interview. “I feel like this is such a great time for independent artists and such a great time for women in music. It’s such a good time for soul, which is making a resurgence. I would like to be at the front of that and helping people and inspiring people and encouraging people and empowering people—especially women of color—to step out and do what they do.”
In addition to the standard edition, fans who purchase the physical CD online at Target will receive two exclusive tracks and limited-edition signed copies.
