Can't Let Go

Can't Let Go is a soulful, heartfelt ode to love, built on the bones of "You Are Everything," the 1971 Stylistics classic that Thom Bell and Linda Creed wrote. Hathaway and co-producer Phil Beaudreau keep the groove slow and intoxicating, and she moves through her registers over it, dropping low and lifting back up while the melody carries a love she cannot put down. It is the kind of record that lands with anyone who grew up on Philly soul and wants to hear that lineage handled by a voice that has earned it, ahead of Made In Chicago on October 1.
