Anthony Hamilton
The term neo-soul usually brings to mind late-’90s sexy excess: D’Angelo’s nude “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” confessional, Lauryn Hill proclaiming everything to be everything. A decade later, though, Anthony Hamilton—a backup singer on D’Angelo’s mythical Voodoo tour—is still working wonderfully in that tradition, against the grain of much of contemporary R&B. His latest LP, 2008’s The Point Of It All, features actual basslines, actual singing, and actual soul. If you want to remember what that’s like, check out Hamilton live.
