PATTI!!!!
Legendary singer Patti LaBelle will release an album this year. Titled Bel Hommage, LaBelle’s first album in eight years is set to arrive on May 5. Described as “a collection of jazz standards,” the album will release as part of a joint venture between LaBelle’s label GPE Records and Sony Red.
Bel Hommage will consist of 13 jazz classics including, “Moanin,’” “Moody’s Mood for Love (feat. Kem),” “Peel Me A Grape,” “Softly As I Leave You” and “Here’s To Life.”
“I’ve been saying for years that I was going to record a jazz album, but I hadn’t taken that leap of faith to try something different,” LaBelle said in a press release. “Now I’m so happy that I did because I really love all of these songs and I pray that everyone else will too!”
In addition to Bel Hommage, LaBelle will release her new cookbook, Desserts LaBelle, on April 25.
