Description

Beverley Knight's third album, Who I Am, shows how far the "girl from Wolverhampton" has come from her admittedly brilliant debut, B Funk. Knight, whose bright, up-tempo R&B songs have crossed age and genre barriers, is clearly making the most of being Britain's most popular soul-singer since Sade. Knight has surrounded herself with some impressive producers and with guests such as Musiq Soulchild, who flexes his Stevie Wonder like voice on the lovely ballad "Beautiful Contradiction". Produced by James Poyser and Che Guevara, who between them have worked with Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo and Jill Scottmore…, Beverley revels in impressing us with her gospel-great voice and her tight songwriting. The reggae-tinged "Get Up" and the funky "Shoulda Woulda Coulda" showcase Beverley's command of the dance floor and bear witness to her stunning range (vocally, emotionally and texturally). The playful and sexy challenge of "The Shape of You", the multifarious sounds of "Same (As I Ever Was)" and the Prince-esque "Ambition (It All Comes 2 U)" demonstrate her undeniable hip-hop sensibility as well. As the push-me-pull-you tension of her second album, Prodigal Sista, gives way to a much more upbeat direction, Knight is obviously more comfortable with herself. Who I Am quickly proves that Knight, unlike many of today's studio-enhanced artists, is the real deal. --Reuben Dessay
