The “Back At One” and “Anytime” singer Brian McKnight has plans to release some new material. What McKnight has dubbed “an adult mixtape” has people raising their eyebrows to the sexually explicit material. He previewed the song “If You’re Ready to Learn” in a video that was posted to youtube and has had quite the backlash. Before playing the song, McKnight stated “Most people only want to hear me do one kind of song, but there’s been conversations I’ve had with men, lots of conversation I’ve had with women, just about other sexual type things that I’d like to tackle.”

Tuesday, McKnight was a trending topic on Twitter but due to the backlash the video has since been taken down. McKnight responded to the backlash via Twitter with two posts, “Okay im taking it down and ill never do it again im putting up a safe song jeez no sense of humor but i trended for a little while.” He also made a little dig at the double standard that some artists face and said “It’s funny how we listen and let our kids listen to songs about killing people and selling drugs and calling women bitches… I wrote this song cruse as it may be about satisfying women and look what happened.” McKnight also posted “I’ll let u all decide should i put it back up or not some of u have said some awfully hateful things.” Although the video has been taken down it is still making its rounds across the web.
What do you think of the song? This was a bit much for my tender ears…wink wink!
