Hamilton recently performed the soul-stirring tune on Live with Kelly! and the Late Show with David Letterman.
Hamilton's Back To Love wooed NPR's Ann Powers, who added the album to her "10 Favorite Albums of 2011" list, stating "this honey-dipped set perfectly highlights Hamilton's versatile voice
" Moreover, Back To Love has garnered rave reviews from journalists across the states, including New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today and the New York Daily News' declaration: "Hamilton stands with Maxwell as one of the few modern R&B males who can stand up to the women who currently dominate the field (from Mary J. to Beyonce)
his music sounds classic and contemporary all at once."
