Last week I was disappointed by Alice Russell’s Pot of Gold and this week I’m disappointed by Anthony Hamilton’s The Point of It All. Why can’t anybody sing good R&B any more? Like Alice Russell, Anthony Hamilton has a great voice. Once again, it’s weak songs. Of the 14 songs on this CD, only two of them, “Diamond in the Rough” and “Her Heart” are worth listening to again. GRADE: C.
Whoever wrote this has it all twisted. Anthony Hamilton’s music gets better and better each album. Are you kidding me? “The News” is a slammin song about hustlers caught up in the streets. “Cool” his first single talks about something we all can relate to: Money (lack there of). “Soul’s on Fire” is just FIRE!!! I can’t wait to see the video for this one, reminds you of his grimy debut “Comin From Where I’m From”. “The Point of It All” is just gonna be a smash hit like “Charlene”. Again, this person who graded this album a “C” can’t “See” clearly or hear. Cause ANTHONY HAMILTON is one of the top true R&B artist of our generation!!! I rate this album A+
Different strokes for different folks…
