Back At One - Brian McKnight

Advantages: Great vocals
Disadvantages: None

...Christmas album which he released. Back at One sold an amazing three million copies in the first three weeks of release alone. This album was released at the height of his career. **Back at One** 1. Last Dance This is a good opening track, this opens with a nice beat and some gentle guitar and keyboard. His voice then comes in softly and then the song develops once he starts singing. A great ballad to start the album off. 2. Stay This is a nice ...
...a catchy feel. 4. Back at One This is a great ballad about saying how much you love someone and to keep saying it so to never take it for granted. A great message which is done superbly well. "Say farewell to the dark of night I see the coming of the sun I feel like a little child, whose life has just begun You came and breathed new life into this lonely heart of mine You threw out the life line Just in the nick of time" 5. Stay or let it go ... Read review

Advantages: Dares to be different, smooth & sexy sounds, video

...from the album also called back at one. It has been nominated for loads of awards, including a Grammy for the video which is amazing. Brian McKnight sings about his love for his wife just minutes before he dies in a plane that is plumitting to earth. The song is not for depressed people but more a song to share with your girlfriend/boyfriend. It's very moving stuff, the lyrics are truly sublime. Both the single and the album become highly recommended. ... Read review

...Although not well known in the UK Brain McKnight is HUGE in the US! They can't get enough!

Advantages: amazing
Disadvantages: I couldn't find it in the shops

...In my opinion this song was one of the best available last year. it is absolutely fantastic. brian McKnight is amazing. I am so surprised that this song didn't do better than it did over here because it is beautiful and I personally could not get enough of it. I really enjoy listening to R'n'B music like this, especially the ballads like this. I am just wondering did anyone see the video for this, with the plane crash? It was absolutely fantastic. This song is very moving, I really do love it. I would reccommend that you try and listen to this song if you haven't heard it yet becuase it is absolutely brilliant and it deserves some airplay over here!... Read review

Advantages: Stunning lyrics and groundbreaking vocals
Disadvantages: Little-known in the UK

...I am absolutely stunned that Brian McKnight hasn't done well in the UK. He is one of the most talented vocal performers in recent years, and whilst he dominates the US market, he's yet to make a splash this side of the pond. His duet with Mariah Carey on Whenever You Call is possibly his one moment of stardom here. Actually, I discovered him quite by accident. He made a guest appearance on an American TV sitcom that was shown over here and performed a track called The Only One For Me. The moment I heard his voice.. it took my breath away. Brian produces sweeping R&B songs that are not only strong vocally, but stunning lyrically. Take Still In Love, for instance, from his 1995 album I Remember You. No one I know has failed to adore this song, no matter what their taste in music, and the lyrics are pure poetry: "I think I must be... Read review
