Multi-Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter-Producer-Activist, LALAH HATHAWAY Readies The Release of Her Remix Album,”VANTABLACK: EXPANSION PACK” AND Stunning Visuals To New Song, “POISON + THE CURE”.
”VANTA BLACK: EXPANSION PACK” offers a collection of remixes from the original ‘VANTABLACK’ album plus two brand new songs, including the punch-packing single, ‘POISON + THE CURE’, available on all streaming platforms NOW. The colorful and futuristic visuals to “POISON + THE CURE” is also available now.
Following her two recent Grammy Nominations of her 2024, album ‘VANTABLACK’, for R&B Album, as well as for the song ‘No Lie’ feat. Michael McDonald, for Traditional R&B Performance, Lalah Hathaway returns with a brand-new project, ‘VANTABLACK: EXPANSION PACK,’ will be globally available, on Friday, July 18th, via the Hathaway Entertainment/SRG-ILS/Virgin Music label partnership.
”Reimaginingmusic has always been at the core of my artistic journey. This project is a heartfelt tribute to the transformative power of the REMIX, and a celebration of the timelessness of great SONGS!” says Hathaway. In all its range, ‘VANTABLACK: EXPANSION PACK’ stays true to the stylistic diversity of the O.G. ‘VANTABLACK’ album, traversing the sounds of house, in the ‘Myth of Being’ and ‘Clearly’ remixes, to the funk/pop feel of new offering ‘Uptown’ and the ‘Mood For You’ remix. The ‘Returning’ remix feat. Robert Glasper and Amber Navran-produced remix for ‘#BITMFW’ offer laid back moods, whilst new biting, tribal-meets-industrial, single ‘Poison + The Cure’ and its accompanying music video ring with artistic statement and rebellion: a departure and fresh-feel for five-time Grammy-winning Lalah Hathaway.
Recognized alongside the titans of music, Lalah and Beyoncé hold the tied record for most Traditional R&B Performance Grammys ever won. Each of Lalah Hathaway’s solo albums of the last ten years has been Grammy-nominated in the Best R&B Album category, with a win going to ‘Lalah Hathaway Live’ in 2017, a personalized ode to her father’s iconic live album. Lalah’s latest album, Grammy-nominated ‘VANTABLACK’, and the title’s very definition as the darkest shade of the color black in existence, encapsulates Lalah’s outlook in recent years, that she feels “the blackest I’ve ever been”. With ‘VANTABLACK: EXPANSION PACK’ Hathaway looks outward: with a project focusing on collaboration and community, hosting an energized array of sounds fit for the summer!
Lalah Hathaway comments, “VANTABLACK” was always the name of the project. I started reframing how I saw color, in terms of being the blackest I’ve ever been and even though I’m steeped in who I am, it doesn’t exclude the other things that make up the sum of me. Similar to how all the music around me informs the black music that I create. So, it’s all a melting pot of all of me.”
