The Legendary Songstress Anita Baker Releases A New Single – Lately

I cannot contain the excitement and joy I feel in my heart right now for this woman. Anita Baker has recently released a jazzy version of Tyrese’ “Lately.” This song serves as the new single from her album Only Forever set to release Oct 23. I am marking that date on my calender. Do you guys realize we haven’t heard any new Anita Baker music in over 7 years.

Anita’s version of “Lately” sounds nothing the original and could fit nicely on one of her earlier albums. She still sings with a beautiful moody alto and creates moments within a song that are unforgettable. She has taken great care of her instrument very well. Take a listen below and realize what grown folks music really sounds like.
