Legends love Beverley. David Bowie called her \u201clittle Aretha\u201d. Prince adored her voice so much he flew her to LA to sing at his Oscars after-party.<\/p>\n

Wolverhampton-born Knight has been impressing audiences since the 90s with her first-class gospel-powered soul vocals.<\/p>\n

She has chalked up Top 10 hits, gold and platinum albums, and sustained a long parallel career in musical theatre where she has won three Olivier Awards.<\/p>\n

Now the bona fide national treasure celebrates turning 50 with a new studio album spanning the \u201ckaleidoscope\u201d of her soul influences.<\/p>\n

Tracks range from the 80s-inspired pop-funk of Systematic Overload to big ballads and irresistible northern soul. It\u2019s a smart mix of Bev\u2019s influences, all delivered with class and style.<\/p>\n

Queen Of Everything is built to pack out dancefloors, Not Prepared For You is an old-school R&B ballad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The opener Last One On My Mind begins deceptively slowly, just Knight and a simple piano, before building into a sparkling modern dance number overflowing with exuberance.<\/p>\n

The beat goes on with retro disco The One I\u2019m Gonna Love before slowing down with Cold World, an uplifting gospel ballad backed by the London Community Gospel Choir.<\/p>\n

The choir returns on the insistent I\u2019m On Fire with its explosive chorus, and on the jubilant closer Everything\u2019s Gonna Be Alright.<\/p>\n

These 11 new numbers are a testimony to the creative powers of the songwriters Knight has assembled \u2013 Diane Warren, Ollie Green, Andrew Roachford and Seb Coe (not the runner) \u2013 as well as top-notch producers.<\/p>\n

Result? An immaculate set from a world-class performer who is hard to pigeonhole.<\/p>\n
