On opener “Love is the New Black”, Anthony Hamilton doesn’t miss a beat! He maintains utmost consistency and relentless soulfulness. Being true to Hamilton, it features old-school production, in a retro-/neo-soul style ( Cardiak and WU10). As far as sounds, I love the keys, dramatic, lush strings, and the percussion-fueled groove. Furthermore, I lo...
Topping “Real Love” is difficult – it’s elite! No worries, as the trap soul of “I’m Ready” featuring Lil Jon is lit too. “I’m Ready” bears similarities to “Amen” ( What I’m Feelin’) another trap-soul joint. One difference is the presence of Lil Jon, which takes us back to the crunk era that dominated the aughts. Even if crunk has since fallen by th...
On “You Made a Fool of Me”, Hamilton oozes with soul and heartbreak.

“Mercy” was by far my favorite advance single. In my opinion, it could’ve concluded Love is the New Black with its transcendent message. It doesn’t conclude, however, and we get a couple more stellar cuts. The best of the two is the socially conscious “Safe,” a slight contrast for Hamilton. To some extent, his voice sounds somewhat different, while...
I really wish my boy, AH wouldn’t make me wait so long between albums, sigh. Despite the excruciating five-year wait, Love is the New Black was well worth the wait. As always, Anthony Hamilton is one of few artists that doesn’t miss when it comes to making a well-rounded, consistent album. Sure, I picked out some gems that tickle my fancy more than...
