Although he was already a legitimate R&B success, Brian McKnight's crossover cachet was cemented with the Vanessa Williams duet "Love Is," which made a big splash in 1993. Since then, the singer-songwriter-producer has followed suit with his popular, ladykiller title tracks from Anytime and Back at One. Now the onetime member of the gospel group Take 6 strikes gold once again with his fifth solo disc, Superhero, and as its title suggests, the discs thrusts him into uncharted territory. Previously known for his wholesome romantic musings, McKnight now sheds his inhibitions with the explicit offerings "Don't Know Where to Start," which features thugged-out crooner Nate Dogg, and "When You Wanna Come," a bouncy, guitar-infused pledge to please his lover between the sheets. Other highlights include the falsetto-accented "Love of My Life," on which the crooner suggests Motown-era Marvin Gaye, and "My Kind of Girl," a syrupy duet with 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake. Still, the title track's heavy metal backdrop makes the boldest statement in McKnight's latest chapter of reflective and at times racy love songs. This versatile artist is obviously not afraid to spread his wings and soar past the boundaries of conventional R&B.
