What Happens Next

Description

Produced by Eric Corne (John Mayall, Joe Walsh, Joe Bonamassa), "What Happens Next" moves somewhat away from Knowles' enthusiastic and respectful vision of blues and Americana, with poetic songwriting and an emotional voice. The 12-song corpus offers an album experience that winds through muscular riffs, a jazzy blues ballad, and vintage soul before concluding with one of the most personal songs Knowles has released to date. Throughout the album, his guitar playing is brilliantly understated, his rhythmic work is skillful and dynamic. The record opens with "Light Of The Moon," a swaggering riff-rocker filled with vibey 60s organ flourishes, catchy and soul-drenched choruses.
