Self Portrait is the fourth overall album from singer Lalah Hathaway, daughter of soul legend Donny Hathaway. The title and release date of the album were announced in Hathaway's official MySpace page in March 2008.^[2]

According to Bebo.com, the album will feature additional production contributions from Rex Rideout who was responsible for Hathaway's most recent #1 single, a 2004 cover of Luther Vandross' "Forever, For Always, For Love." Other producers include Paula Gallitano, Kenneth Crouch, and Terrace Martin. Martin notably worked on Snoop Dogg's Ego Trippin' album. Self Portrait also features contributions from singer/songwriters Sandra St. Victor (who performed with Hathaway on the Daughters of Soul tour), and underground soul singer Rahsaan Patterson.^[1]

“	...this is the first record that I’ve ever worked on from start to finish including developing the concept, styling, the sequence and selection of the songs, the musicians, the producers, the marketing, the way it sounds—everything. That’s why I call it Self-Portrait because it’s my fifth album but it feels like my first.	”
—Lalah Hathaway ^[3]

The midtempo lead single "Let Go" produced by Rideout will impact radio on April 21, 2008. The single, co-produced by Hathaway, also features Rahsaan Patterson on background vocals.^[4]
