100% Album By Beverley Knight

UK soul queen Beverley Knight has completed work on her 6^th studio album, entitled “100%” and due for release on September 7^th 2009 through Hurricane Records – the independent label Beverley co-owns. The multi award-winning star has worked with a fine array of collaborators and producers to complete a body of work that is sure to be widely acknowledged as the best album of her career so far.

Beverley is releasing the first single from ‘100%’, Beautiful Night’, on September 7^th. Co written with award winning songwriter Amanda Ghost, it’s a stunning, bittersweet lament, that superbly combines Beverley’s heartfelt lead vocal over haunting synthesiser runs, vocal harmonies, and an infectious piano hook to create a soul/pop classic.

Following 2007’s critically acclaimed Music City Soul album, forthcoming set ‘100%’ represents a shift in style. Knight comments: “The last album was like a concept album –it was me revisiting some of my inspirations from the classic Southern Soul era. This new album has an altogether more contemporary feel. I worked with some fantastic people, legends even, and it has inspired me to make what I consider to be some of the best music of my career. It’s certainly the most fun I’ve ever had making a record.”

100% sees triple Mobo award winning Knight working with illustrious former writing partners Guy Chambers (Robbie Williams) and Jimmy Hogarth (Adele, Duffy) as well as with multi Grammy Award winning legends Jam and Lewis (Janet Jackson, Usher, Mariah Carey), and Ivor Novello winning songwriter Amanda Ghost (Beyonce, Shakira). Producers on “100%” include hot UK duo The Rural (Gym Class Heroes, Beyonce) and award winning production partnership Bacon & Quarmby (Sugababes, Finlay Quaye). The album also features a duet with soul legend Chaka Khan.
