Official Drop Date: September 12, 2006

Blades: 8.5

Review: Going on his Sophomore album, Love Songs, Jordan Knight has done his thing. Hopefully this shows his realization that he can still be hip to the young ones without going back to bubble gum. His solos have allowed his talents to shine and this CD simply brought his game up a notch. Enter the Remixes.

The song that caught me was ‘Tender Love.’ Who the heck would have thought that he could rock out a group song solo dolo? I could have done without the multiple tenders but the song still worked. He also had ‘Waiting for a Girl like You’ and ‘Careless Whispers.’ These songs brought back memories, as they should, but also introduced a few twists. There were songs I never heard and some originals of Knights.

A Billy Joel classic ‘She’s Got a Way’ was no mystery for this performer as he tackled the song just right. Not trying to out do Joel, but trying to leave his own mark on the single. Ashamed that the industry has slept on yet another artist that has vocals and presence so that they may push out more teeny bops with only hype. However, I could not understand why Little Drummer Boy was thrown in as the last song. Are you trying to become the White R Kelly and have nonsensical songs established as love songs now? Don’t pull that again.

I can only wonder what’s next for Mr. Knight.

8.5 blades for the sophomoric project.

About Missy T.

(Staten Island): (Researcher Asst.; Critic; Street Reporter) I am so happy to join the gang in 2002 & for being given a chance. I got into this because there was only so much Nelly that I could lis­ten to on KTU. I needed to see what else was out there. My friends didn’t like this new job at first, but now they can’t wait to get the newest edi­tion or log-​​on online to see what’s new! My par­ents have got­ten over the music I lis­ten to and real­ize that they are sim­ply for review. I have learned that artists who con­tinue to state their names through­out the CD are a turn off. Either way, I can’t wait for the new year to kick off right.
