its like my least favorite anthony hamilton album, but i might give it another shot. the ryan leslie is frustrating in that it should be good, but it is just missing something to actually make it good. the-dream is good to great.

i've always liked anthony hamilton's voice, but found his songs really bland.

only one of those i've heard was the ryan leslie. it started off fine but kind of got a bit repetitive as it went on.

It does, but it was actually Come Over and Magnificent that won me over.

I can see how you might feel that way about his latest album because at times it can be a little samey.

However, I still think the songwriting on Ain't Nobody Worryin' is incredible and will go down as a classic R&B album from this decade. Just about every song is a little masterpiece.

Glad to hear you didn't go the way of Peter Panic.

American Boy is a really bad song, but those other singles were alright.

I go in phases with how much I keep up with R&B stuff...been totally neglecting it the last year or two. Nice to see some suggestions in the genre around here.

i dunno if i really liked that estelle album. it seems like every other song has a 'guest' on it.

I really wanted to like it but it's not a good cover, possibly the worst song on the album.
