A Moment is the second studio album by American singer Lalah Hathaway. It was released by Virgin Records on May 31, 1994 in the United States.

Promotion

[edit]

The album's first single was "Let Me Love You," produced by Brian Alexander Morgan. A video was also shot for the single. The follow-up single was "Separate Ways," released as a double-A side single with "Family Affair." The Martyn Ware-produced "Family Affair" was actually released in 1991 and billed as "BEF featuring Lalah Hathaway".[1]

Critical reception

Professional ratings
Review scores
SourceRating
AllMusic[2]

AllMusic editor Alex Henderson rated the album four out of five stars. He found that like Hathaway's debut album, A Moment "is a mixed bag ranging from the strong to the decent to the routine (depending on who's producing and/or writing a particular song) [...] Overall, this is a slightly weaker effort than Hathaway's debut. One hoped that eventually, she would live up to her promise and deliver a truly outstanding album, one that would become a huge name in R&B."[2]
