Grammy-nominated R&B veteran Kenny Lattimore has officially released “For You (Lullaby Version),” a gentle, reimagined take on his career-defining classic. The new track serves as the first official preview for his highly anticipated upcoming studio project, appropriately titled Lullabies.
The newly released single takes the romantic, wedding-staple ballad and softens its arrangement into a soothing, stripped-down track designed for parents and infants. The music is a tribute to his growing family, as well as parents who can relate.
Originally released in 1997, the original “For You” became a massive commercial success and a timeless contemporary R&B standard. By returning to the track with this specialized “Lullaby Version,” Lattimore bridges his enduring legacy with a new, family-focused creative phase. The reimagined production leans into delicate instrumentation, allowing his signature smooth vocal delivery to remain front and center while creating a calming, peaceful atmosphere.
The full Lullabies album will release on June 19th is expected to feature a cohesive collection of soothing, family-oriented tracks. The album aims to blend Lattimore’s traditional soul sensibilities with acoustic, gentle arrangements tailored for relaxation and parent-child bonding.
This new pivot showcases Lattimore’s versatility as a vocalist and his continued willingness to explore new thematic territory. It offers long-time fans a completely new way to experience his catalog while simultaneously introducing his legendary voice to the next generation of listeners.
“For You (Lullaby Version)” is currently available for listening via YouTube and is rolling out across all major digital streaming platforms as the promotional campaign for the Lullabies album continues.
