LaBelle is "BACK TO NOW"



Labelle - Sarah Dash, Nona Hendryx, and Patti Labelle released their first Labelle album in 32 years. "It is about now," Hendryx says. "We're bringing some of what was then [back], but I live in the present." In a nod to that present they also sought out Lenny Kravitz, Wyclef Jean, and TSOP legends Gamble and Huff to produce several tracks.

This is the LaBelle that rocked my Philadelphia home and electrified the world with their Funk and Soul music. They captivated me as a child and fueled my imagination as my family huddled close to the television to catch their performances. They broke every mold and defied stereotypes. Welcome back to the original Glam Gods!
