Lathun 💿 Fortunate
I first remember hearing about Lathun in high school. I was watching VH1 Soul as always and his Fortunate video came on. The song and video was so refreshing that I thought it was new. To my surprise, it was released when I was in elementary school.
I kept it in rotation and would listen to it on YouTube often. One time while watching videos on YouTube, I noticed a short video with the title Lathun - Freak It. I clicked on it and was transported back to my very young years. I had not heard or seen that video since I was a little girl. I did not see the video often, but I definitely remember seeing that on tv as a young child.
After keeping Freak It and Fortunate in rotation, I wanted to hear more from Lathun. That led me to "6 8" ft. Katrina, Freak It (slow remix) and Gimme What I Want ft. Katrina. I enjoyed all of these songs and decided to just get this album in 2012 or 2013.
This was a project I totally enjoyed from the first listen. I mean When Love Came In ft. India. Arie...just no words. Not to mention Closer, Miss Sally and Forever One Flesh.
I'm truly fortunate(corny, I know lol) to have, hold and listen to this body of music. A gem in my collection.
