Music Review: Anthony Hamilton's Point of It All

Anthony Hamilton's The Point of It All paints a picture of internal struggle and public triumph. The track Cool has been rotating on radio for a few months. It's catchy, but it doesn't represent the rest of the work offered up by Hamilton. He takes you from church to a nice two-step party.  The two-step comes in with the track I Did It For Sho. It's a finger popper, and you'll find yourself singing the hook no matter who's around you. The music is light on this tune, and allows Anthony's lyrics to blaze the way. You will love this track.  


Praying For You/Superman, is a toe-tapping, hallelujah jam. It's a blend of Louisiana swamp music, washboard good news gospel, and a subtle hint of funk. This is a radio jam, but it's an artsy gift from Hamilton. He had fun with this one and you will too.  If you liked Hamilton's wailing on his past albums, you'll like Fine Again. Hamilton has a unique way of allowing the music to have a voice, without overpowering him. Fine Again speaks to the current economic plight of America. It's a hopeful song. The lyrics are earnest.  


Her Heart brought tears to my eyes with these words:
As you cried in my arms,
You woke up my heart,
And I saw again,
What I found in you.

With The Point of It All, Hamilton further solidifies himself as the keeper of Soul music. Allow yourself to be moved, pick it up!
