Brian McKnight
Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Brian McKnight announces the release of his new album, “More Than Words,” on March 4, 2013. “More Than Words” will include a collaboration with singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat. The first single, “Sweeter,” will bring many longtime fans back to Brian’s roots, with its heartfelt lyrics and melodic tempo. The single and video were released to his Twitter followers via @itsbmcknight. “Sweeter” was also the #2 most added song at urban radio in the U.S., and is growing rapidly.
McKnight says, “I am fortunate that there is no wall between myself and my fans. We communicate at live shows and especially through Twitter and social media. I ask them what they want and they tell me. Hopefully, on this album, I have succeeded again in giving them what they want.”
