Grammy® Award Winner Anthony Hamilton Set to Release His New Album, What I'm Feelin' on March 25Th GRAMMY® AWARD WINNER ANTHONY HAMILTON SET TO RELEASE HIS NEW ALBUM, WHAT I'M FEELIN' ON MARCH 25TH SET TO PERFORM AT THE SMITHSONIAN SALUTES RAY CHARLES: IN PERFORMANCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE AIRING FEBRUARY 26TH SET TO PERFORM HIS HIT SINGLE “AMEN” ON THE REAL ON MARCH 1ST (New York, NY - February 25, 2016) - Today, Anthony Hamilton announces that his fifth studio album, What I'm Feelin' will be released on March 25th via RCA Records. What I’m Feelin’ reunites Hamilton with longtime collaborator Mark Batson, who has produced some of his biggest hits including “Charlene” and “Comin’ From Where I’m From” and features additional production from Salaam Remi & James Poyser. The 12 track LP will also include a guest appearance from Hamilton’s touring background singers, better known as the The HamilTones. In addition to its March 25th release, What I’m Feelin’ will also be available for pre-order on March 4th via all digital retailers. “Amen”, the first single from What I'm Feelin', was produced by Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy Winhouse, Miguel) and James Poyser (Mariah Carey, John Legend). Since its exclusive premiere via VIBE.com in January, "Amen" has quickly climbed up the charts landing in the top 20 at Urban AC Radio in just weeks. "Amen" is the perfect preview to the type of soul music Hamilton plans to introduce on What I'm Feelin’. “What I'm Feelin’ is a special album for me,” Hamilton says. “I reconnected with one of my favorite producers Mark Batson for this new album, who produced my most career defining records, so it made sense. Alongside my engineer, Bruce Irvine, we all decided to record in Nashville, so we could really focus on creating a special sound. While, in Miami with Salaam Remi and James Poyser, we came up with ‘Amen’. I'm really proud of this album, I think it is a must have for R&B and Soul lovers.” In preparation for the release of What I'm Feelin’, Anthony will perform at the Smithsonian Salutes Ray Charles: In Performance at the White House alongside musicians such as Demi Lovato, Usher, Andra Day, Jussie Smollett and others. The special is set to air February 26th on PBS/TV One. Additionally, on March 1st, the Grammy winner will perform his hit single, "Amen" on popular nationally-syndicated talk show, The Real. Please check local listings for time and channel. Prior to What I'm Feelin', Anthony has collaborated with a bevy of artists including Nas, Rick Ross, Carlos Santana, Jill Scott, Tupac, August Alsina, Josh Turner and John Rich (of Big & Rich) to name a few. In 2008, Hamilton collaborated with Al Green on the song “You’ve Got The Love I Need,” earning the pair a Grammy® for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance in 2009. Hamilton has also stayed busy appearing in feature films and television shows, including a guest star appearance on Fox’s hit series, Empire. While recording What I'm Feelin', Hamilton and The HamilTones kept the internet buzzing with their entertaining covers of songs from Drake, 2 Chainz, Rae Sremmurd and Yo Gotti.

  • Alicia Keys Arrives Here on November 4
    ALICIA KEYS ARRIVES HERE ON NOVEMBER 4 Fifteen-time Grammy®-winner to release highly-anticipated sixth studio album HERE New single “Blended Family (What You Do For Love)” from the album available now on all digital platforms and streaming services NEW YORK, NY, OCTOBER 7, 2016 – Fifteen-time Grammy®-winning singer, songwriter and producer, Alicia Keys, will release her new highly-anticipated sixth studio album, HERE, on November 4th on RCA Records. From the human condition to global politics, HERE offers a keen glimpse of everything that matters most to Keys. Today, Alicia released the beautiful new song “Blended Family (What You Do For Love)” featuring A$AP Rocky from the upcoming album. Co-written by Alicia Keys and produced by Keys and Mark Batson, the song is a reflection of the honesty portrayed throughout all of HERE. “My new song “Blended Family (What You Do For Love)” is inspired by my family's personal journey to cultivate deeper understanding, compassion, support and love,” says Keys. “To me, family has no singular definition and the modern family is made up of all kinds of beautiful people willing to put love first.” You can listen to “Blended Family (What You Do For Love)” here: Urgent, intimate and musically daring, HERE is Keys’ truth laid bare: each track a confession; every melody a prayer. The majority of HERE’s production credits belong to a creative force Keys calls the ILLuminaries, comprised of herself; songwriter/producer Mark Batson; rapper/producer Swizz Beatz; and long-time Keys songwriting collaborator Harold Lilly. With this album, Keys made a list of things she wanted to talk about, themes she wanted to explore.

Founded upon a sample-based methodology, the style’s perceived authenticity and sonic impact are largely attributed to the use of phonographic records, and the unique conditions offered by ‘composition’ within a sampling context. Yet, while the dependence on pre-existing recordings chal- lenges traditional notions of authorship, it also results in unavoidable legal and financial implications for sampling composers who, increasingly, seek alternative ways to infuse the sample-based method with authentic content.
