Embracing an effortless eloquence and cocoa butter smooth persona, the music of Brian McKnight has defined the true meaning of an American soul-man since 1991. Like his spiritual Motown godfathers, this upstate New York native has a velvety voice and silky style that captures the vibe of vintage soul without being old fashion. On his latest disc Ten, that blend can be clearly heard.
While Brian’s aspirations might have seemed like a lofty ambition, the longevity of his career is a testament to the purity of his vision. With the release of Ten, McKnight’s first disc for his new label Warner Bros Records, the Grammy-nominated singer could not be more pleased with the outcome. Without a doubt, the landscape of soul music has gotten younger, but that fact did not hinder McKnight’s creative process.
After 16 million albums sold since his self-titled debut, it would have been too easy for McKnight to simply follow the R&B template of rote romanticism. But on Ten, the artist in him felt the need to be more revealing. Though McKnight has been friends with producers Tim & Bob for over ten years, this is the trio’s first collaboration.
Though Brian has never been the kind of singer/songwriter that one would call political that didn’t stop him from penning “Red, White & Blue,” a heart wrenching ode for the men and women currently at war, teaming up with country star Rascal Flatts.
Currently working on a variety of projects including a talk show and soundtracks for two upcoming Tyler Perry projects, the veteran soul singer could not be happier with the outcome of Ten. For fans of real music, Ten is the perfect addition to the soul cannon.
Let It Snow
Brian McKnight Lyrics

Hey, it's another Christmas holiday
It's a joyous thing let the angels sing
Cause we're together
We got a thing can't let it slip away
No, outside its raining sleet
When our bodies meet
I don't care about the weather
[Chorus:}
Let it snow, let it snow
Outside its cold but the fire's blazin'
So baby let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Ohhh, come over here and help me trim the tree
I want to wrap you up baby
Maybe then you'll see you're the only present I need
There's so much more
Waiting for you in store
From this precious day
I can gladly say
There's no place I'd rather be
I know you are my everything, come a little closer
God must have sent you down from heaven
[Chorus]
Let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow (repeat 4x)
I don't care what the weather may be
As long as you're here with me
