Product Description

Not only did contemporary R&B vocalist Brian McKnight move to Warner Brothers for 2006's TEN, but he collaborated with Tim & Bob, one of the highest profile studio teams in the R&B game, for several of the album's tracks. Among these are the standout cuts "Used to Be My Girl", a smooth, sensuous confession of lost love, and the equally smooth and heart-tugging "Unhappy Without You". Tim & Bob's particular spin on lush, vibey production is immediately noticeable, but it is McKnight's emotive vocal performances that really stand out.
The rest of the disc falls into step, offering its share of bedroom ballads and lithe, groove-propelled jams. McKnightweathered a divorce in the early 2000s, and one can hear its aftermath in his lyrical concerns, and in the general vibeof the album, which is both deeply romantic and slightly melancholic. Nonetheless, there's no shortage of sex appeal inthe bouncing tracks, or in McKnight's always-expressive singing.

Customer Reviews

B Mcknight's back
It's a shame Mr Mcknight has never really become a big artist over this side of the Atlantic. He's a seasoned pro as they say, one of the best. His previous release 'Gemini' was a let down in all honesty. 'Ten' however is a different story. Sure, it's nothing majorly different, Mcknight is still using his smooth, soulful voice to tell of love and relationship issues. But that's what you want from him. The difference is he does it with such conviction and class on this album. It starts with the hit 'Used to be my girl,' a truly superb song, upbeat and lyrically spot-on. It's followed by mostly mid-tempo tracks that will please any soul loving listeners. It's on three tracks toward the end where this album becomes a true delight. 'I do', 'Rest of my life' and 'Red, white and blue' are all so so good. The latter being a song of patriotic nature saluting the soldiers at war, a song where you don't have to be an American to relate to. If you're a fan of R'n'B and soul then there's no question you'll like this album.
