The experience of fatherhood at this point of Brian McKnight’s career and life inspired him to apply his immense talent as a songwriter, musician, and performer to lullabies. The collection of songs includes originals and covers inspired by his new son and dedicated to parents and children everywhere. Still very much a Brian McKnight album, McKnighttime Lullabies will be appreciated by fans of jazz and R&B, parents and grandparents – and anyone that needs to step back and relax.
