"Can't Let Go," Anthony Hamilton

[Deleted]

This is the lead single and title track from Anthony Hamilton's new album due out December 6. It like it but it's no "Charlene". His songs usually take awhile to grow on me so maybe this will be the same and I'll end up loving it.

Can't wait to hear this. I've always been a fan of Mr. Hamilton since I first saw him on Nappy Root's "Po' Folks".

[A Thug Named Slickback]

I really like Anthony Hamilton, though I don't imagine him ever being a huge star. "Comin' From Where I'm From" is a helluva good song.

[HER MINAJesty]

I really like him too, and have since "Po' Folks"....I liked Coming From Where I'm From alottt and Charlene grew on me big time too, I didnt like that one much at first but ended up loving it

He's good....I didnt know he was releasing a new album so soon, though. I wonder if it will get pushed back a bit to Jan/Feb.

I thought that Soullife album that was recently released was supposed to hold over fans until the next album which I assumed wouldnt be out until at least next year.

Well it has been over two years since Comin' From Where I'm From was released, and Soullife wasn't released by his label.

I like it!!

This is okay.

I think he should've released something else instead. Anthony Hamilton will probably never have another album like Comin From Where I'm From. That whole album is a classic from start to finish. That's the problem when you make a classic debut. They're very hard to follow up on.

This is a good song, which is different than what other males are releasing. It has substance and a certain vintage edge that works better than a song like, say, Jaheim's Everytime I Think About Her. I don't see where this fits in except Urban AC, but this is a song that makes me interested and anticipatatory of his upcoming December release.

Fifth most added with 30 adds at Urban. Goes for Urban AC adds next week.

Soul crooner Anthony Hamilton returns to the scene with "Can't Let Go," the lead single from his self-titled sophomore album. Fans looking for the gospel/soul/ blues hybrid that colored debut "Coming From Where I'm From" will not be disappointed. Picking up where he left off, Hamilton delivers a stirring testament to the unyielding power of love. As before, he adeptly straddles the line between contemporary and old-school soul music. The only letdown of the single is that nothing really makes it stand out from his previous work. It could as well be any of the singles from his first effort. While consistency is good, especially in today's ever-changing industry, one cannot help but wish Hamilton would have evolved to some degree. —Ivory M. Jones
