Brian McKnight's remarkable talent as a singer, writer, musician, producer and arranger is so dynamic, so engaging and so complete that on occasion, especially in this era of pop posers and music video vamp, he appears nothing less than an enigma.
Through a body of work that includes three best-selling albums - including the 1998 double platinum-plus ANYTIME - McKnight, just out of his twenties, has displayed the kind of understated brilliance and vision you expect from musical legends twice his age. And now, on the heels of his biggest commercial success, comes what arguably may the best McKnight album yet: BACK AT ONE.
BACK AT ONE, featuring the gorgeous title track and first single, is the Brian McKnight experience on another level. Written, produced, arranged and performed by McKnight, the album is McKnight the tunesmith and multi-faceted musician (keyboards, bass, guitars, drum programming), crafting memorable love songs such as the quiet airy "Cherish" and the yearning "6-8-12," during which McKnight seamlessly fuses pop and country interpretations.
At the center of it all is McKnight the vocalist, who steps to the microphone and routinely delivers, with intuitive verve and grace, the kind of impassioned performances that cause fans and peers alike to gape in awe and wonder. You don't learn to sing like this; this is a gift.
In the meantime, the multi-platinum selling McKnight stands on the verge of forging yet new ground, and not just through millions of units sold: he also happens to be one of the few young artists truly equipped as a singer, songwriter, and musician, to take classic pop/soul craftmanship into the next millennium. McKnight, however, takes a far more uncomplicated view. "I just focus on what I do best, " he says, "which is make music." Fine. No matter how you view it, his is a ritual that will forever return McKnight to where we need him to be: BACK AT ONE.
