Lindsey Webster Teams With Grammy-Winner Anthony Hamilton on New Duet "Best In Me"
Lindsey Webster’s latest single, “Best In Me,” drops on the same day as her album Music In Me, released February 27 2026 by Shanachie Entertainment. The track features a duet with Grammy‑winning R&B star Anthony Hamilton, blending their distinct vocal colors into a smooth, heartfelt statement about the love that brings out the best in people.
Webster, celebrated for her seamless mix of R&B, neo‑soul, jazz and pop, pairs her versatile voice with Hamilton’s Southern soul swagger. Together they create a groove that lets each singer’s strengths shine while honoring their individual musical roots.
The partnership almost never materialised. Initially, Webster and Hamilton had planned to record a different song, but the project stalled. They later reconnected at a fundraising event in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Hamilton suggested they write something of their own. That conversation sparked the creation of “Best In Me.”
The songwriting team includes Webster, Hamilton, Keith Slattery, Lorenzo Johnson and Rob Chiarelli. Production delivers a relaxed, soulful backdrop that frames the duet’s lyrical celebration of love’s uplifting power.
The accompanying music video was shot in Charlotte, Hamilton’s hometown. Webster described the shoot as a “once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity.” The footage opens with a vibrant mural on an industrial building, discovered during outdoor filming, before moving to a studio set in the city.
“Best In Me” is one of several collaborations on Music In Me. The album also features a duet with Stokley, lead singer of Mint Condition, and explores themes of love, loss and connection. Webster has called the project deeply personal, noting that music has always been her “best friend” and a source of escape.
The single became available on major streaming platforms the same day as the album and has since been added to multiple curated R&B and smooth‑jazz playlists. Its official video on YouTube has amassed tens of thousands of views.
Industry observers point out that the partnership brings together two artists who have carved out distinct niches in contemporary R&B. Webster’s jazz‑influenced background and Hamilton’s Southern soul sensibility create a blend that appeals to fans of both genres.
The release of Music In Me expands Webster’s growing catalog of chart‑performing singles, including her 2016 number‑one hit “Fool Me Once” on Billboard’s Smooth Jazz Songs chart. Hamilton continues to be recognised for his Grammy‑winning work and his influence on modern R&B.
No additional singles from the album have been announced, and no tour dates are scheduled. The focus remains on promoting the new duet and the album’s broader themes.
The collaboration between Webster and Hamilton demonstrates how artists can find common ground even when initial plans falter, resulting in a track that highlights the best of both performers’ strengths.
