Anthony Hamilton - Charlene

Keeping up with the contemporary artists, Anthony Hamilton released his first single back in 2003. While he has done quite a few singles since, including "Charlene" and "Can't Let Go", he has only released one album. However, he has done quite a bit of work behind the scenes in the Hip-Hop and R&B world. His cover of "Tired of Being Alone" as a tribute to Al Green's career was fitting to his voice and style. He has also had featured vocals on a number of classic tracks, including Tupac's "Thugz Mansion" and the Nappy Root's "Po Folks." So, while the man has not been keeping up with his solo career, he is still on the scene and it will not be long before his next album.

For the time being, I am going to give you my two favorite tracks by him. "Charlene" and "Can't Let Go" are up there as two of my favorite contemporary R&B tracks and for good reason. Hamilton has one of the best voices among the younger generation of R&B singers and he knows how to tell a story. Here is "Charlene" for starters:
