Jordan Knight, formerly of New Kids on The Block is still rocking the world today with his solo career!
His first solo album, the self-titled "Jordan Knight" is an amazing album which sold millions around the world. The first single from the album which was co-written and produced with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis was "Give It To You". It went platinum in the US and gold worldwide (check out the video in my music preferences section!). The majority of this album is a range of stunning ballads including my favourites which are a cover of Prince's "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man", "Change My Ways", "Close My Eyes" and "Separate Ways" in particular. I also love the funky "A Different Party". If you don't already have this album, you really should check it out - Jordan's talent is un-arguable!
Next Jordan released an album for the fans - his tribute to New Kids On The Block entitled "Jordan Knight Performs New Kids On The Block". The majority of the songs remain true to the original tracks, but a few on the double album stand out in particular for me. These include "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" on the "European" disc 2, which has a bangra-style dance beat to it, and "Hangin' Tough" also on the "European" disc 2, which is actually quite rock-like for JK - I love them both! Also really worth noting is the amazing "I'll Be Your Everything" - not actually an NKOTB song, but it was written by Jordan himself at the tender age of 16 and released by Tommy Page, giving him a No.1 hit!
The most recent release from JK is called "The Fix" (released Nov 05). Again, a totally new sound for JK with the fantastic Doug E.Fresh and Slick Rick co-producing and performing on the title track. Also worthy of a mention are "Don't Cry" a dance-style track showcasing JK's amazing falsetto, "Keep It On The Sly", a very raunchy upbeat tune and "Where Is Your Heart Tonight" a heart wrenching ballad that just gets stuck in your head! (See JK perform this song in my music section!).
