[.ca] Comin from Where I'm from

Hamilton Jazzes The Soul with the Funk of Soul like no other:
Anthony Hamilton!!! His CD "Coming From Where I'm From" What can I say to describe him? Intriguingly jazzy, Soul. I heard the brotha on an awards show, I think, the BET Gospel Awards show earlier this year-maybe. Everything in my mind, my spirit, my body ceased momentarily and my soul was definitely taken, captivated like never before. Hamilton is the Kenny G of Soul. I was like whooh! Who is this Brotha? Honey, he sings a gospel song in such a way that he takes one back in the day as thought they were birthed and lived in the day. The brother has that funky jazz that jazzes the blues in a sister's soul. Anthony has that Deep Down mesmerizing sensational stuff that a women wants to experience and enjoy. Particularly if she has long awaited such emotional confessions and desires the earnest dedication of her significant other. Hamilton has that Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Eddie Levert funk that can put Georgia on your mind like Ray Charles. I am dazzled with "My First Love" and "Coming From Where I'm From" and "I'm Messed Up" and "Charlene" and "Float" are elegantly inticing for lovemaking. Hamilton's joint is the Joint-the entire CD. I like Cornbread, Fish & Collard Greens to because he tells this evidently attractive and desirable, succulent, yet too outward woman, about how she needs to gain control of herself and how he could rock her world. Yet with the tracks on this CD, he touches everybody even mothers with "Mamma Knew Love". Charlene,the video-Man!, Hamilton is still feeling Charlene for him to get down in that video, pounding with every ounce of his soul-his emotions. Sister's want to know that a man will cry and release his spirit, mind, body and soul with such expressions. Hamilton is, with great capability, Jones(ing) the women with the emotions and soul of his loving lyrics like no other. Any woman or man who is no greatly touched by "Coming From Where I'm From" has never known love.

Another great Soulful album:
This album was like a breathe of fresh air. 'My first love' was excellent, reminded me of fire & desire from rick james and teena marie, a very beautiful duet. 'Charlene' was a very personal track, I feel his pain from past experiences. And another stand out track is 'Since I seen't you', another great soulful ballad by mr. hamilton. This is album is very well produced, written and performed. He has the heart and drive of past soulful greats like the Dramatics, Stylistics, Barry White, you get the picture. This is a must have for the lover in you.

amazing lyrics and sound:
this is probably the best soul cd for 2004. each song is totally different. good tracks include cornbread, fish and collard greens, charlene, i'm a mess, float and i tried. can't wait til his next album

Not excellent, but suffice...:
My favorite tracks hands down are: 1. Mama Knew Love- I just love the beat to this one. 2. Charlene- Great song; makes you feel like going to Charlene's place and sing this outside her window. 3. I'm A Mess- Who hasn't been through a loss this hurtful? 4. Float- This song starts an emotional monsoon for me. I think if he took a few more vocal lessons (cause his voice cracks quite a bit throughout this album), he would really get the legion of fans he deserves.

Much Needed Artist:
I've listened to all types of music for years and I must say that Anthony Hamilton is a much needed sound to music today. He brings soul to today's music that many artist lack. He is just a raw, natural talent and it is so refreshing to hear him sing. His album is soothing and easy-going, but also has much power and soul. Thank you Anthony Hamilton for reviving soul music.
