Following her diagnosis of cancer last year, house music legend Kathy Brown, has released her album "Legacy" album, showcasing her powerful vocals and outstanding body of work, with label profits going towards her healthcare. She has collaborated with Glitterbox to create this powerful celebration of her illustrious career. The album, released on the 19th of July, compiles a collection of classic tracks and new remixes and edits from DJ Spen, Sophie Lloyd, and Michael Gray.

After its launch event at Defected's London headquarters on July 18, reviews of the album have been overwhelmingly positive. DJ Mag praised the collection, stating, "Legacy is a testament to Kathy Brown's enduring influence on house music. The remixes breathe new life into her classics, while showcasing the timeless quality of her voice." Mixmag echoed this sentiment, calling it "a must-have for any serious house music fan."

The fundraising aspect of the project has also seen significant success. Glitterbox reported that within the first weeks of release, the album raised a substantial amount for Brown's healthcare fund, surpassing initial expectations. This outpouring of support from the music community demonstrates the deep respect and admiration for Brown's contributions to the genre.

In addition to the album, Glitterbox hosted a special radio show on July 10, 2024, featuring interviews with Brown and the artists involved in the project. This provided listeners with deeper insights into the making of "Legacy" and Brown's journey in the music industry.

The GoFundMe campaign, initiated by Brown's daughter in October 2023, has seen renewed interest following the album's release. Many fans have contributed, leaving messages of support and sharing how Brown's music has touched their lives.

As "Legacy" continues in the house music scene, it stands as a powerful reminder of Kathy Brown's impact on the genre and the strength of the music community in supporting one of its beloved artists. The project not only preserves Brown's musical legacy but also provides crucial support during her health challenges, embodying the spirit of unity that house music has always championed.
