Brian McKnight Hooks Up With Nelly For New Single
Yahoo! Music, May 14, 2003 6:00 pm PDT(5/14/03, 6 p.m. ET) -- Brian McKnight's latest single, "Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda," is still Number Four on the urban AC Radio & Records National Airplay charts, but the singer is already gearing up to release a new single from his latest release, U Turn. That new single called "All Night Long" features Nelly and will be out in the coming weeks.
"All Night Long" is not the first time that McKnight and Nelly have recorded a song together. McKnight recorded "Groovin Tonight" with Nelly and the St. Lunatics in 2001. The song was included on McKnight's 2001 release, Superhero, and on the St. Lunatics's 2001 release, Free City.
Recently McKnight explained that he and Nelly are actually friends and that only his friends will appear on his album. "Nelly and I are friends,” McKnight said. “I would never put people on my album that aren't friends of mine. He came and graciously came over my studio one night and wrote a great part to this song to 'All Night Long.' It just made sense. I like the idea that people would say, 'What's this Brian and Nelly? What is that?' And hopefully the music will speak for itself."
U Turn features guest appearances by Nelly, Carl Thomas, Tyrese, Fabolous, gospel singer Kirk Franklin, Joe, and Tank.
