This is her new single. She has better. The song is okay. Her vocals are great as usual though.

It's realy nice, I think UAC will play it a fare bit. The only problem isit has nothing special about it other than her vocales, but I enjoy it. - Singed, Blue Note

Singer Lalah Hathaway's current R&B adult single, "Better And Better," was
written and produced Mike City, who has produced tunes for Usher, Brandy,
Jon B., Rahsaan Patterson and others. The romantic tune was one that City
had written a while back and had promised to another artist. But Hathaway
says she began to hound the producer about letting her have the track for
her current album, Outrun The Sky.

Hathaway said: "I love that song. Mike City wrote that song for another
artist and I had been listening to it for like two or three years. And
every time he'd play it, I'd say, 'Now why -- now why did you give that
song to someone? You know that's my song.' And finally I just started
lobbying, like, I want this song. I called his girlfriend, like, 'Just be
sure you get that song for me -- make sure you get that song.' Finally he
just called me: 'You want that song? Let's do it.'"

What appealed to Hathaway about "Better And Better" was the tune's hopeful
spirit, which she attributes to City's skills: ["Really, it's self
explanatory. It's one of those songs about whatever the relationship is
and the fact that it just gets better with time. And it's just such a
positive, affirming lyric. I really like that about Mike, I think he's
really great at taking something and making it, not sappy but ... just
really a sweet, a sweet thought."]

Hathaway will appear this Saturday, June 18th, at the JazzTrax Big Bear
Lake Festival in Big Bear, California . She'll be performing with the
Luther Vandross tribute show Forever, For Always, For Luther with Kirk
Whalum, Paul Jackson, Jr., and Brian Culbertson.
