Toolroom’s very own Mark Knight recently announced his latest single ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’, a sure-fire smash hit and the lead single from his forthcoming debut album. A long time in the making, ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’ features vocals from the incredibly talented Beverley Knight as well as the London Community Gospel Choir, who together bring a powerful message of positivity, solidarity and hope that soon things will be alright.
Known for releasing quality club records, Mark Knight has gone back to his roots, reprising the sounds and records that made him the DJ he is today. Diving through his extensive collection of classic Funk, House, Soul and Disco records from the 1970s and 80s, ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’ is an instant hit. Brimming with nostalgic moments as a result of Mark’s authentic production aesthetic.
Back with a fresh new sound and following on from last year’s smash hit ‘All 4 Love’, Mark Knight continues to up his game, showing off his prowess as a producer and his extensive musical knowledge as a DJ. Mark explained: “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. From a string section, to the 14-piece London Community Gospel Choir, to the incomparably brilliant Beverley Knight on lead vocals – I worked with some incredible musicians on this record. It was a mammoth production, but something I wanted to do that would last the test of time. ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’: The next single from my forthcoming album ‘Untold Business’ dropping this June.”
Beverley Knight said, “It was wonderful to be asked to vocal this uplifting energetic and hopeful track by Mark Knight. I am by nature an optimist and I truly believe the message ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’ which made it so easy to seriously blow! It was great to be joined by the legendary London Community Gospel Choir who introduced the gospel sound to the UK 40 years ago. Pure joy!”
London Community Gospel Choir added, “When we got the call from Mark Knight, as a choir we’re so excited to be together (covid got in the way) and then to have a Dance track to sing with Beverley Knight was the Icing on the cake. Especially after the tense year we’ve all had, just like the song says, ‘Everything Is Gonna Be Alright’.”
‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’ is the lead single from Mark’s forthcoming album “Untold Business”, set for release on the 11th of June 2021. An homage to the soulful, vocal-led house music that Mark first fell in love with in the 90s, the album features further collaborations with the likes of Shingai (Noisettes) Michael Gray, Robert Owens and many more, and aims to set a positive, life-affirming tone with a focus on real instrumentation and properly crafted songs that will stand the test of time.
