Anthony Hamilton's voice just keeps getting better with time. The Grammy Award winner's arresting voice—a favorite staple on the scene since 2003—recently provided the perfect accompaniment to Jill Scott's earthy vocals on the captivating duet “So in Love.” Their dynamic pairing also set a record: 18 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Urban Adult Contemporary chart, tying with Maxwell for the most co nsecutive weeks atop the tally. The single, in turn, helped propel Scott's album, The Light of the Sun, to a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Now on the heels of that smash hit, Hamilton is igniting even more buzz. It's for his new single “Woo,” recently the No. 1 most added single at urban adult radio. The vibrant, Babyface-produced track is the first single from his fourth studio album, Back to Love. The December 13 release is the follow-up to his 2008 gold-certified, No. 1-debuting album, The Point of It All (So So Def/Zomba Label Group). The impending release marks his first album for the newly restructured RCA Records—and signals the eagerly anticipated next chapter in the multi-talented singer/songwriter's evolving career. “Having children,” says the father of five, including year-old twins, “gives you another burst of energy, a new perspective. Back to Love stems from that energy.”
