I want you to close your eyes and listen to Anthony sing to you for the next 3:51…

Anthony Hamilton – The Point Of It All – Anthony Hamilton

anthonyhamilton

This song is the title cut from Anthony’s new CD, “The Point Of It All.” When I first heard it, I all of a sudden remembered what it felt like to be in love. And I liked those memories. I remembered being kissed on the back of my neck, and sitting in the car, smooching…and the walks around town holding hands and looking into that person’s eyes and thinking that they were the only person you ever wanted to be with. This is what music should be…it should take you to a good place, a place where you long to be again, and a place where you yearn for…and remember fondly. Anthony Hamilton is the truth…

I must admit that when I heard the radio cut, “Cool,” I wasn’t convinced that I was going to like this CD. I thought (and still think) that “Cool” is just not representative of what Anthony does. It is alright, but not true to what he is. I understand him trying to change things up, but that song just didn’t do it for me. But hey, I’m a fan…so I waited until the CD was released and was highly impressed. That voice…man; that voice!

I don’t want to spoil the surprise for you…if you want to listen to some really good singing and music, then you need to own this CD. It has come in under the wire as one of the best of the year (in my opinion).

  • Hi Melissa! Welcome and thanks for dropping by! I will gladly place my vote for you (and already have!)...


    I will drop by on Sunday to check out the contest...good luck on the award!
  • Mahogany and LaKeshia - I love Anthony...there is a warmth to his voice that you don't find everywhere...
  • I saw a write-up on Foreign Exchange over at SoulBounce...that and your recommendation will have me listening this weekend...thanks!
  • I like this song and the entire album. "Cool" is not a representation of Anthony's ability, but it a good song. You have to really listen to the lyrics. The rap version is okay, b/c I am a David Banner fan...great album, though!
  • Hey there, you Superior Scribbler, you! First of all, I'm not "spamming" you; I promise! Second of all, I'd like to introduce myself: I'm Melissa B., The Scholastic Scribe, & I'm the "Original" Superior Scribbler! Third thing on my mind: I've been nominated for a pretty prestigious blog award; I'd greatly appreciate your vote, so if you click on over to my place, you'll see the info. It's an annual award from EduBlog, and I'm up for Best Individual Blog. And 4th thing on today's agenda: I've got a cute "contest," of sorts, going on at my place every Sunday. Please come by this Sunday for the Silly Sunday Sweepstakes. And, thanks for your support!
  • I am a HUGE Anthony Hamilton fan. I wanted this CD for Christmas and one of my friends gave it to me before Christmas. I took a listen and Anthony has yet to disappoint me. I love this CD and it is the right CD for me at this point.

    Love the man, his voice and "old soul". I have so much good music to purchase and I'm happy to do so. Have you purchased "Leave it All Behind" by Foreign Exchange? I think you'd love it Marva.
