简介

It is a shame that Brian McKnight has lost his fan-base from years ago. This album truly isn't bad or uninspired by any means. In fact, it is better than his last release, U TURN. Brian McKnight has what I consider one of the best voices in R&B. What makes him interesting as a musician is the fact that he combines contemporary R&B with contemporary jazz. The downside of that combination is that sometimes McKnight comes over too contemporary or too urban. The main downside of GEMINI is the fact that Brian McKnight really doesn't try to alter his formula any. Unfortunately, that is one of the reasons that I think GEMINI has bombed on the Billboard Charts,which is said considering Brian McKnight deserves to be going platinum easily. I think to regain his fan base, his next album will have to be a little different from U TURN or GEMINI, which are very solid albums. GEMINI has several good hits including "What We Do Here", "Everyime You Go Away" (my personal favorite), "Grown Man Business", and "Here With You". Where Gemini loses credibility is when it grows too urban and the songs sound too much alike. As an album, it's certainly not the album of the year for 2005-06, but it isn't bad by any means. If you aren't into the dance-pop/club facet of R&B these days (Ciara, Nivea (via "Okay"), or Amerie), then this album is probably for you. This album is in league with Kem; a mix of contemporary jazz & contemporary R&B. 3.5 stars.
