Brian McKnight

Brian McKnight is an American singer-songwriter, arranger, producer, and R&B/Pop musician. He is a multi-instrumentalist who plays nine instruments: piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, percussions, trombone, tuba, flugelhorn and trumpet....

. The leading single from the album was "Everytime You Go Away". It was released somewhat at the same time as the second single "What We Do Here". The songs have not made much impact on the charts; "What We Do Here" only reached the Top 40 and stayed there for two weeks. "Everytime You Go Away" is a smooth ballad that has his signature Quiet Storm sound but has a guitar riff which is foreign to the McKnight style.

It is the final Brian McKnight album on Motown Records
