Today, Anthony Hamilton announces that his fifth studio album, What I’m Feelin’ will be released on March 25^th via RCA Records.

What I’m Feelin’ reunites Hamilton with longtime collaborator Mark Batson, who has produced some of his biggest hits including “Charlene” and “Comin’ From Where I’m From” and features additional production from Salaam Remi & James Poyser. The 12 track LP will also include a guest appearance from Hamilton’s touring background singers, better known as the The HamilTones. In addition to its March 25th release, What I’m Feelin’ will also be available for pre-order on March 4^th via all digital retailers.

“Amen”, the first single from What I’m Feelin’, was produced by Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy Winhouse, Miguel) and James Poyser (Mariah Carey, John Legend). Since its exclusive premiere via VIBE.com in January, “Amen” has quickly climbed up the charts landing in the top 20 at Urban AC Radio in just weeks. “Amen” is the perfect preview to the type of soul music Hamilton plans to introduce on What I’m Feelin’.

“What I’m Feelin’ is a special album for me,” Hamilton says. “I reconnected with one of my favorite producers Mark Batson for this new album, who produced my most career defining records, so it made sense. Alongside my engineer, Bruce Irvine, we all decided to record in Nashville, so we could really focus on creating a special sound. While, in Miami with Salaam Remi and James Poyser, we came up with ‘Amen’. I’m really proud of this album, I think it is a must have for R&B and Soul lovers.”
