Anthony Hamilton was recommended by Twitter's
Blackamazon, and this was a good week to get to him for reasons that I will get
to next week. For now, on with the review.
Hamilton's R&B career goes back to 1995, but I feel like there has been a
perpetual improvement. I like 2008's The Point Of It All, but 2011's Back
to Love is even cooler and funkier. Collaborating with Babyface was
effective, but was only a factor for one of the albums.
(I am also really enjoying 2014's Home For The
Holidays, but that may be getting a seasonal boost.)
That's not to discount the earlier works, but my
favorites have tended to be within the last decade, including "Magnolia's
Room" from 2007. I think the upward trajectory shows maturation and an
increasing comfort.
Other recommended tracks include "Praying For
You/Superman", "Cool", and "Woo", and "More Than
Enough".
Songs can work for dancing, but may work better for
more private activities. This music is meant for grooving.
