推 therock924:問一下~他不是已經發五張了嗎?QQ?third is my best? 11/06 21:43
With his involvement in "American Gangster" putting him on the big screen,
R&B singer Anthony Hamilton is preparing to unleash his next album on the
world in 2008.
The set, tentatively titled "Me," is due Feb. 5 and will "make a statement,"
Hamilton tells Billboard.com. "I always felt my third album was going to be
my best one. I don't think I'm going to let myself down or the people down.
It's a nice transition; you can just see my growth from the first one and the
second one to this one."
Hamilton says fans will find songs that are "full of life and situations we
all go through, the changes of men and women and relationships with God and
family and children -- and the political side of Anthony Hamilton that I
speak out on in certain situations."
Among his social commentaries are "Home," a soldier's message to his wife
that Hamilton co-wrote with his wife, Tarsha McMillan Hamilton, and "Who Left
the Gate Open?," which looks at the role of parenting (or lack thereof) in
creating "the wild, untamed people ... who raise so much hell in the world."
Other songs on the album include "Souls on Fire," "Praying For You," "Cool"
and "Me." He recently cut a new song, "Love," and is still working in the
studio, but expects to be done by the end of November and mixing and
mastering in December.
Meanwhile, Hamilton can be heard dueting with Keyshia Cole on "Losing You,"
which he co-wrote for her new album, "Just Like You"; with country singer
Josh Turner on "Nowhere Fast" from his new album, "Everything is Fine"; and
with rapper Chingy on "They Don't Know" from ""Hate It or Love It," which
comes out Dec. 11. Hamilton also appears on saxophonist Boney James' new
holiday album, "Christmas Present."
But he's most stoked about "American Gangster." Hamilton recorded two songs
for the soundtrack -- which comes out Tuesday -- the Diane Warren-written "Do
You Feel Me" and "Stone Cold," which he co-wrote with Hank Schocklee. He also
performs "Do You Feel Me" during a scene in the movie.
"I think it's a great opportunity for people to see me in a different light,"
he says, "not video but on a big, mega-screen, and to be connected with such
amazing talent. It puts a little shine on my dusty texture. My velvet bow tie
looks a little patent leather right now."
