Anthony Hamilton delivers some of the most relatable songs in post-millennial R&B with a voice distinguished by its ruggedness as much as its grace. The singer struggled for the better part of the 1990s as he recorded two albums that went unreleased. He finally achieved his hard-fought commercial breakthrough the next decade with Comin’ from Where I’m From (2003), which earned a platinum certification and five Grammy nominations. Hamilton’s vocals and no-nonsense manner prompted comparisons to the likes of Bill Withers and Bobby Womack, and it was through a collaboration with another soul legend, Al Green, that he earned his first Grammy win with the duet « You’ve Got the Love I Need » (2008). While he could have continued to crank out rustic throwback soul, Hamilton expanded his sound in the 2010s and added to his tally of Grammy-nominated Top Ten R&B/hip-hop recordings with Back to Love (2011) and What I’m Feelin’ (2016) among his warmest-received releases yet. After roughly a decade-and-a-half with So So Def/Arista and RCA, Hamilton established his own label with Love Is the New Black (2021).
