Brian McKnight's slick sound is favored by the urban adult-contemporary set, and it's unlikely he'll win any new (read: young) fans with his 10th album. Mostly produced by the singer-songwriter himself, Ten is a merrily generic batch of R&B grooves and slow jams. From the hip-hop-flavored ''Unhappy Without You'' to the percussion-laden ''Can't Leave You Alone,'' love and relationships remain the central theme of his lyrics. The only surprise is Rascal Flatts' random cameo on a limp ballad called ''Red, White, and Blue.''
