It's Saturday morning in Seoul, South Korea, and a van full of girls chases Jordan Knight's limousine. The 29-year-old former New Kid on the Block is in town on a promotional blitzkrieg in support of his first solo recording, Jordan Knight. "It feels like a new beginning," he screams, trying to drown out the noise from the street. "I feel free to do what I've always wanted to do." That means grown-up R & B mixed with classic rock and Miami bass, with production assitance from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the talent behind the classic sounds of Janet Jackson and the Human League. Jordan Knight was born in Worcester, Massachussetts, and began singing in his church choir at 6, but he didn't think about music professionally until he discovered hip-hop, learned how to break-dance and met the other new kids on his block. He was 14 years old. Eventually, even with fame and fortune, creatively, he just needed more. "Now I'm responsible for every aspect of what I do," Knight says. "When I was with {New Kids}, if I wanted to go to McDonald's, it took forever. Now," -Knight pauses, letting the words hang in the air- "I go at my own pace."
