From the Bottom to the Top

From the Bottom to the Top is the debut studio album by American singer Sammie.

Primarily produced by Dallas Austin, with additional production from Colin Wolfe, Ricco Lumpkins, and Tricky Stewart, it peaked at number twenty-seven on the US Billboard 200 and number twenty on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, selling over 744,000 copies to date.

AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine found that, "at times, [Sammie's] voice does sound a little thin, but for the most part, it's surprisingly soulful and convincing – not as stunning and assured as the young Michael Jackson, but certainly a lot better than most child singers.

"[1] Stephanie Smith from Vibe wrote: "Sammie is able to show that despite his lack of facial hair – due to the encumbrance of preadolescence – he can sing.

Although this CD is mainly bubble gum pop, it's still fun to listen to and reminisce about that crush in sixth grade or playing kickball after school.
