Smooth Jazz singing star Brian McKnight is putting the finishing touches on his next CD project, and he’s brought in a couple of special guests to make us anticipate the album even more.Billboard.com quotes McKnight as saying the CD is ‘almost done’, although it doesn’t have a title yet. Whatever it’s called, the new disc will be his first release of all new material in three years, since ‘Ten’ came out in 2006.
McKnight says he’s ‘taken some different directions’ this time, ranging from ‘five to six Brian McKnight kind of songs that you’d expect’ , including the first single, ‘What I’ve Been Waiting For’, to a piece that has ‘a reggae feeling that I’ve never done before.’ McKnight says he’s also been influenced by his sons, who are recording their own album at the same time.
The unnamed CD features duets with Stevie Wonder on ‘Without You’ and with Jill Scott on ‘More Than Just a Thing.’
As if McKnight isn’t busy enough with the new recording and with his morning radio show on Smooth Jazz station The Wave in Los Angeles, he’s also getting ready to debut a weekly late night talk show on the CW network. That show will begin airing on September 26th.
