Brian McKnight - Evolution of a Man Review
Brian McKnight’s ELEVENTH studio album came out yesterday, and thanks to You Know I Got Soul and R&B Haven, we’ve got the details for you.
From their descriptions, the album is a pretty big change for Brian McKnight, moving in a variety of directions and experimenting with multiple styles. The album features several mid-tempo electronic tracks, as well as the occasional Reggae track.
Still, with tracks like “Not Alone” and “Another You,” the classic sound of Brian McKnight keeps up.
To get a full review of the album, check out our Evolution of a Man review.
Kevon Edmonds new album, Who Knew, available now
Kevon Edmonds, Babyface brother, recently released his new album, Who Knew. Available on amazon, the album is short with only 8 tracks. Still, if Kevon’s past work as a solo artist and his time in After 7 are anything to use as reference, the album should be solid.
I recently bought the album, along with Joe’s Signature and Brian McKnight’s upcoming release, so I will be sure to let you know how they are!
Mariah Carey - Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel Review
About.com reviewed Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which came out yesterday. The full review can be read here, but we’ve included a snippet below for you to check out. Overall, they loved the album. About.com’s final conclusions on Mariah Carey’s tell-all concept album:
Mariah Carey set out on this album to explore her inner self and lay it bare in song. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is a solid, cohesive musical statement that works as that very rare thing in today’s pop music world, a genuine concept album. Mariah Carey has clearly suffered her share of emotional pain, but she remains standing, and, in the performance of “I Want To Know What Love Is,” it sounds like she is positively resolute about heading fearlessly into the future. The recording standards here are of a very high quality, and the songs grow in interest with repeated listening. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is a worthy addition to the Mariah Carey catalog.
