Anthony Hamilton Talks Black Love on his 'Back to Love' Album

Anthony Hamilton new album 'Back to Love's pairs him with the likes of Keri Hilson, and producer Babyface throughout the album. Listening reminds one of the soulful sounds of Teddy Pendergrass, Bill Withers, and Donny Hathaway. As a matter of fact you could pick any great soul singer from the 60's and 70's (Otis Redding, Bobby Womack, Curtis Mayfield, Al Green to name a few) and you hear them in Anthony Hamilton's music.

You can take a listen to the album at NPR First Listen. However one track is missing from the site and from the the standard download. You should pick up the Deluxe version of 'Back to Love' for the funky and engaging track "More Than Enough" as an added bonus to this album.
