On that latter track, the silken-voiced balladeer intones "it's hard to breathe without you, girl, and baby, that's a fact" with an earthen, vulnerable sincerity that typifies every McKnight composition. It's that mature connection to his songs that places McKnight in the category of the finest contemporary R&B crooners. He drives that point home on "Grown Man Business," as he touts the virtues of the reliable, refined man over the sweetest of soul beats. Brian McKnight has been turning heads since he was in his teens, and as a thirtysomething on GEMINI, he is at the top of his game.
Those born under Gemini, the sign of the twins, are thought of, in astrological terms, as unpredictable, complex creatures. Thus, it is fitting that Brian McKnight would dub his 2005 record GEMINI, as the ever-versatile singer/songwriter plays a dapper chameleon here. The introduction finds McKnight toying with bluesy doo-wop before setting his dulcet tones into the contemporary R&B tune "What We Do Here," a seduction number out of the book of Jodeci. On "Stay," he dons a vocal-jazz persona rivaling Al Jarreau, while the smooth single "Everytime You Go Away" sports a bass groove straight out of the 1980s.
Personnel: Brian McKnight (vocals, keyboards); Juvenile (rap vocals); Tyron Chase (guitar); Chris Loftin (bass guitar); Prescott Ellison (drums).
Brian Mcknight Gemini Songs Gemini Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Average Album
I've got all of Brian Mcknight's LP's and as always, he comes up yet again with a decent album. It's an album u can listen to without skippin, but in my opinion there really isn't a standout track like "Anytime", "Back at One" or "All Night Long" which in turn leads me to give it 3 stars.

 His Worst CD EVER
His Music has inspired me.I have admired him, I RESPECT HIM and Love his music. But This album has been A LET DOWN... It has not got anything like "Anytime, 6,8,12, Show Me The Way Back To Your Heart, Someday, Someway, Somehow..." Im SOOO Disapointed. I pre- ordered th album without hesitacion but that was big mistake. THINK TWICE OR HEAR IT FIRST BEFORE BUYING IT.

 Brian's Best
After purchasing Brian McKnights Greatest Hits I thought that was the best of Brian. Then I purchased this CD and I am very very pleased with this. Brian McKnight did an excellent job on the CD. Listening to this kind of gets you in the "mood" for some good old fashion relaxing. I am definitely glad that I purchased this CD. YOU will too!!

Off the chain!
Brian always does something new. He keeps us interested. I'm feeling this CD. Brian McKnight means perfection. Go cop it!

Brian never seems to amaze a fan like myself because every song, every albumn is always better and sweeta (jamaica slang). But to put things together like he has always done more than a trailblazer. Keep up the good work.

Purchase Gemini CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Kemistry CD (2003)
Gemini album
 $11.49   
Like a male Sade, or vintage Steely Dan without the irony, smooth R&B vocalist Kem weaves mellow, late-night musical tapestries over '70s-style jazz grooves. In the process, he manages to sound completely contemporary without ...
| | Anthony Hamilton Comin' From Where I'm From CD (2003)
Gemini CD music
$9.49 
COMIN' FROM WHERE I'M FROM was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album. "Comin' From Where I'm From" was nominated for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance and for Best R&B Song.
Anthony Hamilton grew up in North Carolina, caught the eye of record companies, and released a major-label record in 1997, XTC, which was critically lauded, but mostly forgotten and quickly out-of-print. Following this setback, Hamilton hung around the music biz, working on his songwriting and background vocals, until his big break came in 2002, singing the hook for the Nappy Roots hit "Po' Folks."
The music on his second album, COMIN' FROM WHERE I'M FROM, transcends his rise-to-fame backstory. Hamilton ...
| | Mario Turning Point CD (2004)
Gemini music CDs
$6.95  
Mario first earned attention in his mid-teens with his huge hit "Just a Friend," a smooth R&B updating of Biz Markie's rap classic, and followed it up with a successful self-titled debut. With the shift into adulthood for his second record, Mario faced inevitable comparisons to another newly matured R&B crooner--Usher. Far from shying away from his similarities to Usher, Mario gets them out of the way on the first track of 2004's TURNING POINT, "18," where, with the help of Cassidy, he reminds listeners that he has "seven years to catch up" to the older superstar.
While Mario opens with that tough declaration, his forte is the slow jam, and TURNING POINT is chock full of them. He follows "18" with the album's first single, the sultry "Let Me Love You," which proves ...
| | Anita Baker My Everything CD (2004)
Gemini songs
$11.25
Anita Baker first garnered a big audience in 1986 with her second record, RAPTURE. A critical favorite with a uniquely raspy, jazz-like expressionistic singing style, she scored a major pop and R&B hit with "Sweet Love." From that initial success, Baker carved her own niche somewhere between deep soul and smooth jazz. After a few more albums she decided to concentrate her passion on her family.
Following nearly a decade's hiatus, Baker returns to the recording studio with 2004's MY EVERYTHING, and, happily, very little has changed. ...

| | Essential Atomic Rooster: The Dawn Recordings CD (2006)
Gemini album
$9.49
"The Dawn Recordings"? Sure -- this 16-track compilation has material from both of the albums Atomic Rooster recorded for Dawn (1972's Made in England and 1973's Nice 'n' Greasy), before the label dropped the act from its roster and the band disbanded in the mid-'70s. "Essential"? Hardly. Virtually every Atomic Rooster fan would agree that the band's artistic peak was earlier in the 1970s, when they had a more progressive rock-oriented sound and landed their two British hit singles, "Tomorrow Night" and "Devil's Answer" (neither of which is included ...
