Calm down, ladies – yes, I know soft-rock superstar and Galtta flagship act Adrian Knight is back, but that’s no reason to lose your cool. Adrian Knight would never lose his cool. In fact, Knight has so perfected the art of keeping and/or maintaining his cool that it’s like a blast of minty fresh air whenever he walks in the room. That might just be his exquisitely fresh breath, though – Knight is nothing if not a serial mouthwasher (I’m certain of this, even though I have no proof).
On Knight’s new compact disc Pleasure Center, the maestro effortlessly weaves his way through nine new tracks, his heavenly voice and silky arrangements like wisps of cologne on the breeze. It’s not for nothing that every song sounds like it smells really good – don’t you know pheromones hit the olfactory senses? The right smell hitting your nose will totally ratchet up all those endorphins you’ve got lying dormant in that brain of yours. Time to get those chemicals cooking.
The literal pleasure centers of your brain are endlessly triggered by Pleasure Center, the titular subject rendered as a physical space on the cover, a place that offers respite in the form of love form the dark and lonely city surrounding it. Within it is smooth jazz, sultry R&B, a little bit of the rock of the yacht-ish persuasion, only to reinforce the sophistication and seriousness of the whole endeavor. It exists as a point of relaxation, of sensuality, of, yes, pleasure if you let yourself go if you find yourself within its walls. It’s earnest and honest, and it will work overtime to make it worth your while – to ensure that the pleasure is of the highest quality.
OK, ladies, maybe you should be losing your cool.
Adrian Knight continues to perfect the late-night lover persona that you always knew you needed but never quite wanted to admit that you desired. Well, desire is name of the game here on Pleasure Center. Take a deep breath and get yourself lost in the middle of it.
