Everybody speaks on Donnie, but her mother and namesake is a classically trained vocalist. All those Operatic tricks come honest

She is one of the coldest vocalists. Her lower register??? *faints*

Lalah is in a class all by herself. No one does what she does. WOW!!!

She gets on my NERVESSSSSS AAAHHH LOL it don’t make no sense to sound that damn good!!!!!!

Gotta give props to those background singers too. Their voices/harmony are gorgeous.

Donald Lawrence wrote that song for her. He allowed her to make it her own. She is her father’s child.

Donny’s Legacy right here 😭🙌🏾

She's one of my top five favs along side Rachelle Ferrell and Meshell Ndegeocello. ❤️

She is a jazz trumpet, vocally! I always hear her vocal instrument as a trumpet with a mute!

She is soooooo smooth! One of my favorites! Please do Ledisi!!

You are so right. Her vocal choices definitely set her apart! She's everything!

I saw her in concert a few years ago and let me tell you....the live experience of her voice is unreal. So much better than what you see in videos. She's simply amazing.

Lalah is a vocal beast. I fell in love with her version of this song years ago when she sang this on BET’s Celebration of Gospel. Her voice on this song is like melted butter and warm syrup. When you say her voice is like a canopy, I use the word ‘full’ but you are right. This is one of my favorite worship songs. I believe her dad would be proud that she’s carrying on his legacy.

Her voice is so gorgeously warm and comforting💛💛💛

Lalah is underrated like her father!

Respectfully - I'm here to point out that you are super talented and your teaching is going to teach the world ❤❤❤

Lalah has a God given talent!!She does it effortlessly!She is an Amazing singer!Love me some Lalah Hathaway!!!🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can you imagine her & Ledisi on the same stage? 2021, Make it Happen!

Can you do a Sade song? She isn't known for her vocal gymnastics, but rather for being a delicately smooth operator 🙂

Her voice is hypnotic.

YES! I love me some contraltos! Had to subscribe when you said you felt the same. So good to hear from people who appreciate Lalah's voice as much as I do. Thanks so much for this video!

Thank you for this!!! And yesss, contraltos and mezzos!! So underappreciated in this industry basically crowded with sopranos (shout-out to baritones and basses too who don't get much spotlight). I actually listened to Lalah's debut album yesterday and her approach and her voice sounded pretty different. It was definitely higher. I think asides from the obvious maturing in her voice she also sings pretty diffferently from how she did back then. Definitely that lower larynx sound.

Honored to have opened for Lalah 2 years ago! She’s a sweetheart in real life, which makes her talent so much more palatable! Thanks for analyzing the queen!

Lalah, just sends me and those background singers, though...

Ms. Hathaway comes from a powerhouse of vocally trained people. Her mother & father. She is so amazing, humble & beautiful. Thank you for this. Love love this song. One of my favorites.

She is so amazing no one is on that level she’s at the top tear.🐐🐐🐐

Her voice is like butte!! You analysis was specific and right on. There were sounds I did not hear that you pointed out. Great reviews!

Her annunciation is amazing. The diction and care she takes with each note. It's so crisp and clean. This song is phenomenal when she sings it. 😍 ❤❤❤❤ I'm truly sent to the Upper Room with this performance! Excellent breakdown.

I never missed her in concert when she comes to my city. Lalah is definitely a Experience!!!

Thank you for talking about contraltos, low alto woman voices. I am one of them and it took me a very long time to love my low voice. But I now feel pretty good about it. I truly love Lalah Hathaway!

Lalah Hathaway is her father reincarnated smooth,pure and clear a lot of people sleep on her sadly!

It’s funny you mention the classical style of her introduction. That baby can’t help it. Mother is a classical singer. And we all know her father. I love the way she merges the both of them in each time she sings.

Jaron: I’m not even going to try to do that run… *attempts run* Perfect execution 🙌🏽🥰

Unicorn of voices is the perfect description!

I'm new to your channel and have not looked at all your posts. I would like to see you analyze my all-time favorite "Miss Minnie Riperton". Thank you, btw, I really enjoy your channel.

Lalah loves Jazmine👊🏿👊🏿She said Jazz’s voice needs a name (like hers doesn’t)💯

She makes this song like a warm blanket. La-mazing is just a spiritual anomaly.

Outstanding analysis of one of the greats. I love your nickname for her: "The Unicorn of Voices!" Awesome job, Jaron!

Her artistry is from another dimension, but so glad we get to enjoy it in this realm.

She is a beast , I love her awesome vocalist.,and trumpet. My grand mother had a beautiful deep voice

I loved the reactions of the backup singers in the back😂😂😂

I just love her voice. It's so unique, so sultry and smooth.

Thank you Beautiful analysis of Miss Lalah. Her voice is like Silky Butter gliding down a beautiful amber sunset!

She is quality, smooth tone. She knows when to do certain vocal runs with taste. Many singers now days try to show how high they can sing, too many riffs meaning over singing. Many may have range and vocal riffs . Having an athletic voice and being a singer is two different things. Lala is a pure singer. This is coming from a pure singer.

The only person I’ve ever heard harmonize with herself!!! Like she’s out of this worldddd 😭😭

Thank you. OMG this is incredible!

OMG she is so amazing that's all i can say. Loloooooooooove this song. So pure

I'm so grateful for this video. You introduced me to this song/performance, & it's one of my absolute favorites ever! This digs down into my spirit in a way I can't really say. And, your analysis helps me understand some of the techniques/"tricks" she used to do it. Thank you!

One of the best voices I ever heard in the business. I just love to pieces.

I am glad I found your channel. I have all of those same emotional outbursts in all of the same places, so I know you hear and feel what I hear and feel. Lalah, like her dad, showcases her spiritual being every time she exhales a note.

Lalah's voice like buttah. A fierce talent.

I love watching those moments when you are just captivated by this vocal goddess!!!!!! P.S. I would love to see you do a "tiny desk" type performance. 🙏🏿🤞🏿

I love Jaron's commentary, and when the sound is exquisite, it makes me giggle too. Lalah Hathaway is AWESOME. I absolutely love her unique, beautiful voice. Thank you for doing these analyses!

Love your videos so much. Ms. Hathaway is my favorite! So glad you did this

Lalah!!!!! I love this song and still holler when she is singing. This beautiful lady is AMAZING!!!

She is phenomenal! Absolutely!!!⚘️⚘️⚘️

I can not get enough of your videos!

Lalah and Jazmine my #1’s. Seen Lalah live in Atlanta. Wanting to see Jazz live.

I've always loved Lalah Hathaway, but now I have a new found appreciation. Thank you!

She’s a musical master piece!

So glad to see you back love your videos. Have a great day Be Blessed🙏🏾❤

Jaron I so enjoy your videos. You’ve changed how I hear music!

Love this song. It’s captivating

Oh my my my my, Jarod!!!! I am so so happy to actually hear a person say how much they love deep singing females!!!! So many people tend to always favor sopranos more than the deeper female voices. I am a low alto to tenor singer. My favorite instrument happens to be the bass and upright bass. I really enjoy your KZfaq segments and that is why I clicked subscribe. I like your personality and your informative things concerning your craft. Peace and Love

So glad I subscribe to your Channel. I love the way you analyzed Advanced accomplished singers with confidence. I appreciate how thorough and articulant you are in your vocal analysis. Lalah Hathaway is a beast end of story. And your facial expressions give me life they are everything.🌹 and not only do I learn something every time I listen to you but I also enjoy the energy that you give to every reaction. Keep up the excellent work I'll be tuning in

One of my favourites!

The warmth in her voice just hugs the listener and kisses us on the forehead

Like father like daughter. Classic. Please do Lala Hathaway with Joe Sample "When Your Life Was Low".

Real Sweet and cool! Smooth and easy Loved your voice 💯 Enjoyed this

OMG love love her voice and super loved her father and she has his love in her voice ❤

She is a vocal master and technician. Her voice is so commanding, yet comforting. I’m amazed! If I had hair, it would be blown back….or maybe blown off. Mercy!

You taught today! I have loved Lalah since I first heard her almost 28 years ago! And I never noticed it’s the classical training that she blends into soul that sets her all the way apart. Thank you!

Yes i loooooooove me some her yes. And I'm like you, i just shake my head listening to her. So beautiful. Anything she sings

Thank you so much. I always learn something new with the analysis you do. Now I know those were vocals tricks and not runs

She is a smooth sista! The terminology that you use to describe her voice and movement is spot on. As you said that we could suggest more artist that you can analyze...how about "Can't Hide Love", "Be Ever Wonderful", or "Imagination" (especially that one) by Earth Wind and Fire. They do a lot of variations, harmony, and voice tricks. Perfect group, and they are my favorite. Thanks Jaren!

Love your videos and the great Lalah Hathaway is just unreal 🙌🏽

My QUEEN!!! Thank u Jaron...u made ya boy's day!!!!💯

A unicorn of vocals. Your reviews are entertaining informative and you capture your audiences with your scientific knowledge of music. WELL ALRIGHT.

Rachelle, Lalah and Jazmine on a vocal. Can you IMAGINE??

Lalah Hathaway has a rich, smooth, and velvety voice just like Donny Hathaway. Her tone quality is like chocolate.

I keep rewinding the video after you give your comments. I haven't seen many videos that have rendered you speechless

Saw her in person and as soon as she opened her mouth I cried. Shes so freaking good!!

Lala - remarkable!!!! "Like butter" says it all!!!

love that you did this! i was waiting for a Laylah video from you. Angel is my absolute fav but this is beautiful. please do Erykah Badu, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Toni Braxton, Chrisette Michelle, Usher, Whitney Houston, B Angie B, India Arie lol! no pressure!

SUBSCRIBED!!!! And that Lalah such a beautiful voice❤️💯

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You are right on point, a true musician and student of the art. You are absolutely right when you compared her to her legendary father Donnie Hathaway. The approach she takes is like she is caressing each sound she produces words or trills or runs...she doesn't ever over do and she can hit a lowest low, and her highest high makes the listener anticipate where she's going to take the song, whatever the tempo, whether it is a cover or an original piece. You get to hear glimpses of her father, while staying true to Laylah. I was a little girl when her father died, but my mother played his music during my childhood and I always loved has an artist. Then when she hit the scene, as a new artist, her performances were already polished and professional and if I am not mistaken she is classically trained and I also later studied her father's music and learned how much of a musical genious he was. So I think that not only was she born with her gift, blessed by God, she's a student of her father's musical accomplishments and knew she would do this. What a way to honor her father's memory and establish her own musical legacy!

thank you so much for doing lalah

love, love, love, love love her, Lalah

Love it❤

🖤I love low voices‼️Phyllis Hyman is my favorite singer. Contraltos are the best 👍🏾. Lalah Hathaway is incomparable and talented. Lalah is a musical singer; I love her✊🏾

I love Ms. Hathaway! Especially that "I Can't Wait" song!

love her

This is my love. She reminds me soooooooo much of her father Donny Hathaway.

She’s from my part of town AND I always loved her gift!

I'm sorry just seeing this...You just gained another subscriber...Lalah is Eh-VER-Y-THANG I've followed her since her song That Was Then from her Self Portrait album and her amazing father Donny Hathaway, and the way you analyze these INCREDIBLE artists is perfectly put not to mention you have an outstanding voice too!!! LOVE your channel!!!

I love when you laugh when they do something crazy 😂😂😂 That is SO ME! What should we do if we have any requests?
