Brian McKnight - Ten

Dive into the smooth, soulful world of one of R&B's most enduring voices with this original 2006 pressing of Brian McKnight's Ten – his acclaimed ninth studio album (tenth overall release, including his Christmas project) and his sole release under Warner Bros. Records after departing Motown. Released on December 5, 2006, Ten showcases McKnight at his most mature and rejuvenated, blending heartfelt ballads, mid-tempo grooves, and uplifting anthems that highlight his signature falsetto, multi-instrumental prowess, and timeless songwriting.

Often hailed by critics as one of McKnight's strongest works since his platinum-selling classics like Back at One and Anytime, Ten debuted at #32 on the Billboard 200 and features standout tracks that dominated Adult R&B radio. Lead single "Find Myself in You" (from the Madea's Family Reunion soundtrack) became McKnight's sixth #1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart, while follow-ups "Used to Be My Girl" (peaked at #25 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs) and the empowering "What's My Name" kept the album in heavy rotation. Other highlights include the inspirational opener "Used to Be My Girl," the romantic "Unhappy Without You," the orchestral-tinged "A Little Too Late," and the unique country-R&B crossover "Red, White, Blue" featuring Rascal Flatts. The album closes strong with the introspective "Don't Take Your Love Away" and the uplifting "I Do."

Brian McKnight – a 16-time Grammy nominee known for hits like "Anytime," "Back at One," and "One Last Cry" – wrote and produced the majority of Ten himself, infusing it with personal depth drawn from life experiences. He collaborated with top-tier producers including the legendary duo Tim & Bob (known for work with Boyz II Men, Dave Hollister), Bryan-Michael Cox (Usher, Mariah Carey), and Kendrick "WyldCard" Dean. McKnight handles most vocals, keyboards, and arrangements, delivering that unmistakable velvet-smooth sound he's perfected over decades as a singer, songwriter, pianist, guitarist, bassist, and more.

This CD is a must-own for fans of 2000s R&B, adult contemporary soul, quiet storm vibes, and artists like Babyface, Luther Vandross, Boyz II Men, or Joe. Perfect for collectors seeking high-quality used copies of rare Warner Bros. era McKnight albums!
