Anthony Hamilton chronology
Comin' from Where I'm From (2003) Soulife (2005) Ain't Nobody Worryin' (2005)

Soulife is the first compilation album (third overall) by American R&B/soul singer Anthony Hamilton. Released in June 2005 (see 2005 in music)—on the heels of the success of Comin' from Where I'm From^[1]—on Atlantic Records/Rhino Records, the album consists of previously unreleased songs. It debuted and peaked at number twelve on the Billboard 200 and number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums the week of July 16, 2005, but soon dropped off the charts.

After leaving MCA Records, which released his debut album XTC in 1996, Hamilton found a home at Soulife Records, a small, independent Los Angeles-based record label, where he recorded tracks for what was supposed to be his second studio album. Soulife Records went bankrupt before it could release the material, leaving the album unreleased.^[2]
