New Kids On The Block called it quits after their 1994 curtain call, Face The Music, tanked miserably. Now with clones the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync, (among others) currently commandeering the pop music airwaves, the climate seems ripe for the reappearance of Jordan Knight (now 28), the unofficial leader of the group. Knight, who inked a seven album deal with Interscope Records in 1996, will see the release of his as-yet-untitled solo debut next January. He recently spent several weeks in a Minneapolis recording studio with legendary R&B producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (Janet Jackson, Prince, Boys II Men), mixing four of the album’s 10 tracks, including the first single, "A Different Party." Knight plays keyboards on several songs on the album, which he describes as R&B-flavored but with elements of hip-hop and alternative as well.
