The majority of Music City Soul was recorded at The Beech House studio in Nashville, Tennessee in the United States in just five days in late October 2006. All the songs on the album were written before hand the previous summer and then recorded back to back in the studio with an array of different musicians. The intention was to create an organic sound reminiscent of classic 1960s soul albums that epitomised releases by such artists as Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke and Al Green – all of whom had a big impact upon shaping the artistry Knight thought out her childhood.

 

The album was entitled Music City Soul to reflect the fact that Knight has returned to her soul and gospel roots. It was also intended to pay homage to Nashville, the city it was recorded in, which is often referred to as 'The Music City' due to its rich musical heritage.

 

The album will be proceeded by the single on 30 April 2007 "No Man's Land" co-written with, and produced by, Eg White and Jimmy Hogarth.

Me too :cheer: hope its gonna be even better than Affirmation

i hope so it will be hard to beat affirmation though unless things really take of this time

I think it could be a higher peak of an album for her ^_^

What number did Affirmation reach?

11 I think :unsure: not sure but Who I Am got to 7

Yep youre right, just checked, apparently they both got gold, i wonder how close to platinum they were

i would say both wouldnt be far off as they stayed around a bit

Hmm hope so, also this is the 4th album in her 4 album deal I thinkk...so it better not flop! :mellow:

Her albums seemed to hover for a while especially the greatest hits i remenber that bein around top 20 for a while :D

ya the greatest hits done well it even went back into the top 10 after falling out

Maybe this album could do the same :o

ya it may well do plus we might see the greatest hits re enter with this album also

Hope so more sales then wonder how much each of her albums have sold would also be good to see single sales

id love to know all her sales also pplus her worldwise sales and positions

Where else has she released music :o how has she done in Ireland

she hasnt had much success here in ireland at all

Edit: Make Ireland start buying her music!!
