What I'm Feelin'

Released in 2016, What I'm Feelin' reunited Anthony Hamilton with longtime collaborator and producer Mark Batson, who was instrumental in shaping Hamilton's breakout sound on Comin' from Where I'm From. This album represents a mature refinement of his 'Southern Soul' aesthetic, moving away from the more aggressive blues-rock leanings of some previous efforts toward a smoother, more contemplative R&B space. Recorded primarily in Nashville, the album benefits from a session-musician warmth that bridges the gap between neo-soul and Americana. Critical reception highlighted the album's consistency and Hamilton's vocal prowess, noting that while it didn't reinvent his wheel, it polished it to a brilliant sheen. The track 'Amen' became a significant hit, showcasing his ability to blend gospel fervor with romantic devotion. It stands as a pillar of mid-career stability for Hamilton, proving his relevance in a shifting R&B landscape by doubling down on organic instrumentation and honest songwriting.
