For her first mainstream pop/R&B album since 1994's JUST FOR YOU, soul legend Gladys Knight teamed up with a host of young contemporary producers including Randy Jackson and Shep Crawford. The result is a record that successfully places her alongside younger acts like Kelly Price and Deborah Cox. Plunging headfirst into the many facets of love, Knight comes up with a collection of slower songs that combine her soulful singing style with mature subject matter. Topics vary, from the pleading piano-driven "Please Help Me I'm Falling (In Love With You)," about breaking off an illicit relationship, to the search for a worthy mate (the Brian McKnight-flavored Jamie Foxx duet "I Wanna Be Loved"). Knight's vocals get to marinate in the midtempo grooves, with rich material like a hushed, gospel-flavored reading of Bill Withers' "Grandma's Hands," and the harmony-laden slow jam that is Babyface's "Love Hurts." Most impressive is the former child prodigy's reworking of country star Phil Vassar's "Rose Bouquet," which gets transformed into a future Quiet Storm classic, complete with call-and-response vocals, chimes, and a rock-solid groove. AT LAST is a powerful creative statement from one of music's all-time greats.
