│ : :
│ Toolroom founder and Grammy-nominated producer Mark Knight announces
│ his new album Untold Business: 13-track collection of vocal house music
│ which aims to inject a much-needed dose of meaning and longevity into
│ the world of dance music.
│
│ Mark Knight has gone back to his roots on his new album Untold
│ Business, reprising the sounds and records that made him the artist he
│ is today. Diving through his extensive collection of classic Funk,
│ House, Soul and Disco records from the 1970s and 80s has provided the
│ bedrock for the album, which is an homage to the soulful, vocal- led
│ house music that Mark first fell in love with in the 90s.
│
│ A criticism often levelled at some modern dance records is that they
│ are highly disposable. As the barriers to both production and releasing
│ records have lowered, house music has become saturated with countless
│ tracks, some of which take mere hours to throw together and are
│ forgotten even more quickly, while the never-ending treadmill of DJ
│ gigs have forced even experienced producers into a cycle of producing
│ purely functional records, with longevity and meaning barely
│ considered.
│ Step forward Mark Knight with a collection of meticulously crafted,
│ positive, life- affirming records with a focus on real instrumentation
│ and properly crafted songs that will stand the test of time. Untold
│ Business is the antithesis of the functional, cookie- cutter dance
│ music that has become increasingly ubiquitous over the years, and it
│ sounds absolutely glorious.
│
│ Lead single Everything's Gonna Be Alright features vocals from Beverley
│ Knight as well as the London Community Gospel Choir, who together bring
│ a powerful message of positivity, solidarity and hope: themes that echo
│ throughout the rest of the album.
│ "I wanted to write a song of hope as we come out of this incredibly
│ tough time. I feel that musicians and producers have a responsibility
│ to provide the soundtrack to people's lives, and with this glimmer of
│ hope on the horizon, I wanted this song to be a moment of positivity
│ for the future ahead." Mark Knight
│
│ From the string section, to the 14-piece London Community Gospel Choir,
│ to the incomparably brilliant Beverley Knight on lead vocals û Mark
│ worked with some incredible musicians on the single: an approach that
│ informs his approach for the entire album. Untold Business features
│ further collaborations with the likes of Shingai (Noisettes) Michael
│ Gray, Robert Owens and many more.
│
│ In addition to the 10 new tracks recorded especially for the album,
│ Untold Business also includes three of Mark's singles from 2020,
│ including one of the biggest releases of his career to date. All 4 Love
│ was a collaboration with Rene Amesz and Tasty Lopez which became firmly
│ lodged on the Radio 1 A list for six weeks with worldwide success
│ following soon after. Picking up more than 10 million streams on
│ Spotify it was without doubt one of the biggest house records of the
│ year. Also included here are If It's Love - a joyous celebration of a
│ soulful house sound thatcame to prominence in the 90s û and Tonight,
│ which took inspiration from the brisk, looping, filtered house music of
│ the early 00s.
