Underrated Singers: Brian McKnight

I wanted to do a regular feature like 'Well Written Songs' on here about singers who people don't always know about or have forgotten about. Someone who I feel this is the case is Brian McKnight. I've never heard someone say they don't like his music once they have heard it. Today its all about showing skin to sell music (or wearing a dress made of meat or squatting in an egg for 3 days in some cases) but that isn't real music. Brian McKnight however writes the majority of his music and it can take you places most music can't today.

His music is covered alot and he also writes music for alot of todays singers, such as Justin Timberlake and Lemar. However most people don't even realise who he is. Below is a list of songs you really should check out for lyrical content and pure genius in musical arrangement. Anyone thinking of starting to listen to his music should start with the 'Back At One' album (the title track of which was covered on Shayne Ward's debut album). Also his new single 'Fall 5.0' is out now and avaliable to buy on iTunes.
