I’d Be Such an Angel You’d Think Me and Jesus Was Cool Like That

December is the time of the year where you snuggle up with that special someone and when it is time to switch the soundtrack from tradition Christmas music to something more in the baby making department, well there really has not been any music released recently to fit the bill assuming your lady friend is not fond of music that is degrading to them. Well just in time as the temperature starts to drop is the latest album from Anthony Hamilton Back to Love which increase your chances of adding to your family sometime next August.

There is plenty songs to choose from as the title Back to Love would have you assume when deciding what to want to put on when you are about to get your groove on, the smooth title track, the playful duet with Keri Hilson on Never Let Go, the heartfelt Baby Girl, the falsetto vocals I’ll Wait (To Fall in Love) that are reminiscent of a Prince love song, and the beautiful Who’s Loving You (granted you will have to overlook it is an I want you back song). But when it is time to record some baby making music, you have to go to the source of the producer who caused the most conceptions since Barry White and Babyface is on the disk, helping out with the first single Woo.

Hamilton does deviate a couple times on Back to Love like when he goes to his country roots on Mad with its twangy acoustic guitar and hand claps that are aided by some Stevie Wonder style harmonica. Sucka for You is the rare danceable song from Hamilton (at least of the vertical variety). The album ends nicely with the bluesy Life Has a Way that is emotionally deeper than the rest of the album in the vein of soul singers of the past. As great as the baby making songs are, hopefully his next record is filled with a few more like the one he ended the album with.
