Talking 'bout that Southern boy!
"Anthony Hamilton has proven himself to be one of the logical heirs to Marvin Gaye. His rich vocal prowess, steeped both in sexy R&B and the traditions of the church, is a rarity during a time when soul has been hijacked by computers.....BOSTON.COM
"In the songs he writes with his producers, Mr. Hamilton sings in long lines and storytelling crescendos rather than hip-hop sound bites. He uses all the grain, ache and fervor in his voice to admit sins and beg for forgiveness in songs like “Please Stay” and “Fine Again.” In “Soul’s on Fire,” a confession of pure despair, he moans, “Gonna take trials to be delivered".....NEW YORK TIMES
"Few pop singers are as steeped in the pressing rhythms, melismatic vocal styles and fevered call-and-response of black gospel music as Anthony Hamilton. Take "Praying for You (Superman)," the eight-minute tour de force that anchors the back half of "The Point of It All," the North Carolina native's latest album".....WASHINGTON POST

Talking 'bout that 7 time Grammy nominated Southern boy!
"Hamilton, who moved back to Charlotte in 2004 after spending about 10 years in New York, was nominated in the category of best traditional R&B vocal performance for his collaboration with Al Green on “You've Got the Love I Need.” It is his seventh nomination".....CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
"He's the rare R&B artist able to incorporate hip-hop elements in his music without suffocating the songs. He writes and sings with craft and conviction. He's not lacking ambitious scope: Hamilton's new album, out December 16th, is titled The Point of It All".....CHRON.COM
"The highlight of the night was when Anthony came out into the audience and danced with his fans -- the females were very appreciative".....PEGASUS NEWS
