Brian McKnight News

  • Brian McKnight Is Back and “Better” Than Ever

    You know the Valentine’s Day cliché: put on some Brian McKnight to set the mood. The crooner is back with a video for his brand new single “Better,” another romantic ballad for the lover in you. “Girl, ever since you walked into my life / You took everything that’s wrong and made it right, that’s what you did,” he sings on the first verse, and declares the relationship “keeps getting better.” The visual is simple as McKnight sings the song backstage and during rehearsal at a theater. “Better” follows Brian’s previous release “Uh Oh Feeling”, both of which should be on his forthcoming album via Kobalt Music.
