Another amazing release from your friends at SRG-ILS / Virgin / UMG New single, "SO IN LOVE" from music royalty and multi-award winning singer-songwriter-producer and activist, LALAH HATHAWAY. "SO IN LOVE" serves as the official first single release from Lalah Hathaway's forthcoming studio album, "VANTABLACK." "So In Love" can be found on all streaming/download platforms now. The anticipated eighth studio album will be globally released on June 14th, 2024, and is available for pre-orders now, via the Hathaway Entertainment/SRG-ILS Group (Virgin Music Group) label imprint. ‘So In Love’ was written by Philip Beaudreau and I a couple years ago with the intention to pitch it, but we loved it so much and decided to sit with it for a while. I’ve recently added it to my show and it’s one of the most beloved pieces that we perform," shares Lalah. ‘So In Love’ has such a vibe and like a lot of the work i do, it explores some of the more non traditional ideas about love, and self love. The video does this on a grand scale!", she adds. Speaking of the music video, the stunning visuals of the "So In Love" music video will be making its global premiere on BET Soul and BET.com on Thursday, May 9th. As we prepare for the release of VANTABLACK, music lovers abroad will be taken on a magical ride of this new Lalah Hathaway era, as she will be treating them with a new music every other week leading up to the release of VANTABLACK. Lalah Hathaway comments, "VANTABLACK was always the name of the project. The word itself has so much weight on it, I was really unsure of how to approach the idea of writing the song. At the time, what I thought were conflicting perspectives, actually began to shape the concept of not only this album but also how I saw myself. I started reframing how I saw color, in terms of being the blackest I've ever been and even though I'm steeped in who I am, it doesn't exclude the other things that make up the sum of me. Similar to how all the music around me informs the black music that I create. So it's all a melting pot and this song truly exemplifies that."

In this revealing video, the inner workings of the traditional music industry are laid bare, offering insight into a reality that still resonates in today's digital era of streaming services. Despite technological advancements, the narrative remains unchanged: artists often get paid last, caught in a cycle of debt and hardship. Even today, unless one possesses the star power of figures like Jay Z or Taylor Swift, signing with a traditional record label can lead to these struggles. It's a sobering reminder that behind the glitz and glamour, the journey of many recording artists is fraught with challenges that transcend time and technology. #musicindustry #musicbusiness #recordlabels

TIL Epidemic Sound is a music library that exists outside of the powerful Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) ecosystem. They own their performing rights 100%, and as a result don’t allow any of their artists to join BMI, ASCAP, or any of the 200+ collection societies worldwide. “Our ecosystem is based on our music being able to flow freely to all our customers. We have made this possible through our unique digital rights model, which is based on the premise of us being the sole owner of the financial rights to our music.” [1] Fascinating narrative violation to the traditional music business model, must have taken immense conviction and a lot of headache! Wondering if there is an example of another music business that has been able to navigate this strategy successfully?
