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.
Uh Oh Feeling
Brian McKnight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you by my side
To feel you breathe
So selfishly, oh mine
Feeling come alive
When I look into your eyes
Feel you reach
Way down deep inside
You're my world (my only)
You're my girl (my only)
Every time your lips meet mine
Girl, girl you give me that (you give me that)
You give me that
Uh-oh feeling
Oh
You make me ohhh
And I'd never felt this way
You've always find a way
To brighten up my day
Joy you bring
Makes everything alright
Every time you call my name
You'd always starts the flame
Up and down
And all around my spine
You're my world (my only)
You're my girl (my only)
Every time your lips meet mine
Girl, girl you give me that (you give me that)
You give me that
Uh-oh feeling
Oh
You make me oh
And I'd never felt this way
For you all the life I've paid
Baby all that I can say

You make me oh
And I'd never felt this way
Oh
You make me oh
And I'd never felt this way
I, I'd never felt this way
