"Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
Brian McKnight may have made his name as a nice-guy balladeer unafraid of declaring Barry Manilow as a direct influence, but he still has a funkier side that's clearly evident on U TURN. Sporting a knit cap and shades on the cover that gives him an R.Kelly-meets-Maxwell kind of look, McKnight easily proves he can run with the big dogs by way of numerous celebrity collaborations. Nelly takes a break from the St. Lunatics to hop aboard the infectious "All Night Long," Fabolous and Six John throw down on the hard-edged title cut, and Kirk Franklin joins McKnight on the timely faith-during-wartime homily "One of The One's Who Did."
McKnight does make sure to include his share of trademark ballads, such as the heartfelt "Someday, Someway, Somehow," lush "So Sorry," and Prince-like "If It Was Cool" with its abundant falsetto harmonies. Most impressive is the contemporary-R&B summit meeting "Good Enough," which finds McKnight joined by Joe, Carl Thomas, Tyrese, and Tank for the tale of a relationship gone asunder in which half the fun is guessing who's singing which part. U TURN ends up being one musical maneuver that Brian McKnight pulls off flawlessly.

50 Cent was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' was nominated for Best Rap Album. "In Da Club" was nominated for Best Male Rap Solo Performance and for Best Rap Song.
Provocative 2003 official debut from Queens gangsta-poet, includes anthemic #1 hit "In Da Club."
With its inclusion on the mega-successful 8 MILE soundtrack, 50 Cent's "Wanksta" blew up in late 2002, calling out the hypocrisies of wannabe gangstas who boast of criminal exploits that exist only in their imaginations. If anyone has the right to speak it's ...

U Turn songs
$7.59
Ever since he first captured the music-buying public's attention, Ginuwine has been the personification of lady-killing hip-hop cool. A kind of smooth R&B-crooning gangsta Billy Dee Williams, the singer (originally with the aid of producer Timbaland) developed a unique combination of dynamic East Coast beats, G-funk-influenced keyboards, and highly rhythmic modern soul belting. Though his uniquely ...
| | Luther Vandross Dance With My Father CD (2003)
U Turn album
$8.99
DANCE WITH MY FATHER won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "Dance With My Father" won for Song Of The Year and for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. The song was also nominated for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals and for Best R&B Song. "The Closer I Get To You" won for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.
Life can be cruel and nowhere is this more apparent than when Luther Vandross was felled by a stroke just prior to the release of DANCE WITH MY FATHER. For the most personal of his 15 albums, Vandross dipped into the worlds of R&B and hip-hop for help on a handful of songs. Checking in are Beyonce Knowles playing Donny Hathaway to Luther's Roberta Flack on a lush reading of "The Closer I Get to ...

| | Gota Let's Get Started CD (1999)
U Turn songs
$9.69
Percussionist/producer Gota Yashiki's pop résumé -- everything from playing on Seal's "Kiss from A Rose" to creating all the instrumentation for Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares to U" -- informs us of his deep sense of sonic texturing, but hardly prepares us for the intense acid jazz experience his own band generates. While the groove on Let's Get Started is non-stop retro-styled funk (complete with wah wah, Fender Rhodes harmony, and ...
