Quan Jamison catches up with Lalah Hathaway and friends for her album release party

Where It All Begins" is Lalah Hathaway's sixth studio album released on Stax Records and Concord.

Where It All Begins" is Lalah Hathaway's sixth studio album released on Stax Records and Concord Music Group on October 18, 2011. It includes a remake of the song "I'm Coming Back" (with Rachelle Ferrell). The song was originally recorded by Vesta Williams for her 1986 album Vesta. The album also includes a cover of her late father Donny Hathaway's 1978 single "You Were Meant for Me". She also pays homage to Donny in the cover art.

The artwork for Where It All Begins, Lalah Hathaway's second Stax album, features a striking collage of her father Donny’s album covers, with Lalah cleverly inserted in place of her father on most of them. In addition to family photos scattered throughout the booklet, Lalah maintains a looking-back theme with a naturally heart-rending version of her father’s You Were Meant for Me, the original of which was issued as a single a few months prior to his tragic passing.

This song is by Lalah Hathaway and appears on the album Where It All Begins (2011). If you say what you mean, and mean what you say, aaaahhhhaaahIf the person you are and who you portray, aaaahhhhaaahIf you're living your life without looking inThat's where it all begins. Keeping up with the Joneses.

Lalah Hathaway had always avoided selling herself as the daughter of soul legend Donny Hathaway, but by the time she released Where It All Begins in 2011, she'd built her own reputation and earned the right to reconnect with her musical inheritance. In the album art, Hathaway is composed of images from her father’s records. A cover of her father’s 1978 single You Were Meant for Me lets the singer collaborate with Donny artistically, if not physically. It's no exaggeration to say that the layers of meaning in this performance go well beyond the song's surface
