Soulife

Soulife is the first compilation album by American R&B and soul singer-songwriter Anthony Hamilton, released June 28, 2005 on Rhino Records in the United States. His third album overall, the album is a collection of previously unreleased songs recorded by Hamilton. The Macy Gray-featured track "Love and War" appeared on the soundtrack to the 2001 film Baby Boy. After leaving MCA Records, which released his debut album XTC in 1996, Hamilton found a home at Soulife Records, a small Los Angeles-based indie label, where he recorded tracks between 1999 and 2001 for what was supposed to be his second studio album. Soulife went bankrupt before it could release the material, leaving the album unreleased. Soulife earned Hamilton his highest-debuting and highest-peaking album to date. The album debuted and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200 and number 4 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart during the week of July 16, 2005, while selling 53,000 copies in its first week.
