Critical Praise for Anthony Hamilton: "One of the most important R&B artists of his generation" - Newsweek "One of the music industry's best-kept secrets." - People Magazine (December 16, 2008 – New York, NY) Seven-time Grammy-nominated recording artist Anthony Hamilton is gearing up for his third So So Def/Zomba album release The Point Of It All, set to arrive in stores today, December 16th. The release comes as the talented singer earns a “Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance" Grammy nomination for his collaboration with Al Green, on “You've Got The Love I Need." The Point Of It All contains a wide range of raw soul-infused music with Hamilton at the helm co-writing and co-producing on the album with his longtime collaborators, producer/songwriter Kelvin Wooten and Mark Batson. Wooten produced “Prayin' For You/Superman," the sultry ballad “Her Heart," and the lead single “Cool" featuring David Banner, which is steadily climbing the Urban Adult and Urban Mainstream charts. Batson produced the powerful track “Soul's on Fire" and “Fallin' in Love." Additional producers on the album include The Avila Brothers who produced the title track “The Point of It All" and Jack Splash who produced “Please Stay." Like his previous efforts, Hamilton's new album is already receiving early rave reviews: The Wall Street Journal observes, “Mr. Hamilton's new album features tight R&B productions, [and] vintage instruments…" and goes on to compare Anthony Hamilton to “the great vocalists who influenced his style, including Marvin Gaye and Al Green…" Entertainment Weekly adds, “The onetime barber and backup singer is a late bloomer steeped in the conversational soul of Bill Withers and Bobby Womack." Last year Anthony Hamilton made his big-screen debut performing in the Oscar-nominated movie, American Gangster. Hamilton has established a loyal following from his 2003 platinum-certified debut album Comin' From Where I'm From, which spawned the hit “Charlene," climbed to #3 on the R&B Albums chart and garnered three Grammy nominations, to his 2005 release, the gold-certified sophomore effort, *Ain't Nobody Worryin,'* which sparked the #1 hit “Can't Let Go." Hamilton, an all-around gifted artist, has collaborated with a wide range of his peers including: Buddy Guy, Al Green, Dr. Dre, Santana, Angie Stone, Young Jeezy, Nappy Roots, Musiq Soulchild and more.
