Anthony Hamilton releasing next album soon

Riding high off the success of his current album, “The Point of It All,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, Anthony Hamilton is already planning for his fifth studio release.

“I may put out another one before the end of this year, or the top of (2010),” the North Carolina-born R&B singer told Billboard.com. “I’ve got at least 10, 12 songs, but I’m gonna do maybe 12 more and go from there.”

“It’s gonna be a blues, country, soul, rock kind of album on the next one,” he explains. “I want to do something different. I may do some orchestrated stuff. I’m not afraid of it. I have a fan base that loves me enough to trust that I’m giving them. That’s a great place to be.”
