Los Angeles, CA – Lalah Hathaway, the soulful voice known for her unique blend of R&B, jazz, and neo-soul, is back in the spotlight as she secures a Grammy nomination for her latest work. The multi-talented artist, who has already won five Grammy Awards, opened up in a recent interview about her reaction to this year’s nomination and why she feels that her best work may still be ahead of her.
Hathaway, daughter of the legendary Donny Hathaway, has been a household name in R&B for decades. But despite her seasoned career, she feels that she’s only just beginning to tap into her full potential. “I’m just starting to hit my stride,” she shared with a smile. “After all these years, I’m finally able to make music that’s fully and truly me.”
The singer’s latest project, which blends personal storytelling with a rich, soulful sound, has captivated both longtime fans and new listeners alike. Hathaway’s music has always been deeply personal, but this album took things to a whole new level, exploring themes of growth, resilience, and self-love. “I’ve been in this industry a long time,” she explained, “but it’s only recently that I’ve learned to let go of the rules and just create.”
Her Grammy nomination adds yet another feather to her cap, but for Hathaway, it’s not about the awards. “I mean, who doesn’t love a Grammy?” she laughed. “But for me, it’s about the music and the connection I get to make with my fans. When they tell me that my songs helped them through something or made them feel seen—that’s everything.”
Her nomination has stirred excitement in the industry, and fans are thrilled to see Hathaway receiving well-deserved recognition. Social media has been buzzing with praise, and there’s a sense that this could be Hathaway’s year to bring home another win.
But Hathaway is quick to emphasize that she isn’t in it for the fame or accolades. “I’m grateful for every bit of recognition, but what really matters is making music that matters. I want to keep creating, keep pushing myself, and keep giving my fans something to hold on to.”
With this latest nomination, Hathaway’s career is far from slowing down—it’s just getting started.
