On Anthony Hamilton's 'The Point of It All' --
The New York Times: Mr. Hamilton won’t place himself in the niche of gospel. He’s a contender in the secular realm of R&B who sings hooks for hip-hop songs between his own albums, and he’s determined to reach current radio audiences without jettisoning his roots.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
The New York Daily News: Hamilton snatches that back decisively on "The Point of it All,"out today. Once again it matches his burlap voice to material sturdy enough for it. The songs, all of which he co-wrote, offer a striking corrective to the melodically starved style of post-R. Kelly R&B. In other words, they manage more than three notes in a tune and refuse to repeat patterns we've heard before. Hamilton can even put more than one melody in a track.
