Singer/songwriter Brian McKnight brought his brand of smooth R&B to the top of the pop charts with BACK AT ONE. McKnight not only contributed his writing skills to each song, but wound up producing the entire record as well. Guest producers Rodney Jerkins, Harvey Mason Jr., Lashawn Daniels, and Fred Jerkins III add their signature finishing touches to such tracks as "Stay or Let It Go" and "Played Yourself." Standout cuts on this all-around excellent album include the "6,8,12," "You Could Be the One," the Latin-flavored "Can You Read My Mind," and the title track, which was McKnight's biggest hit to this point.
Industry Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...he sets standard romantic themes, plus occasional anguish at an on/off relationship, to programmed beats, synthesizers and harmonies, plus a hint of jazz....what he does, he does very well.
