In the fullness of a fabulously successful recording career it is axiomatic that the artists may do whatever they please to enhance their self-expression. Therefore it would be wrong of this reviewer to bemoan the orchestration of one of the finest a cappella groups who ever harmonized (moan). There, that's out of my system. This is still an important album to those of us who have all their prior and subsequent releases. Vocally, the individual voices of whomever happens to be the lead singer at the moment is more prominent than on the pure a cappella releases and it is thereby fascinating to hear very clearly the beauty of the individual voices. A note of interest is that six of the ten songs have all the instrumentation played by Brian McKnight, no doubt the brother of singer Claude V. McKnight III. |
