"Beautiful Night" is the first and lead single released from British singer-songwriter Beverley Knight's sixth studio album, 100%. It was released independently via her own record label, Hurricane Records, on 7 September 2009 as a digital download only.
The official radio premiere of "Beautiful Night" was on 20 July 2009 on radio station BRMB[1] [2] and it was later added to BBC Radio 2's playlist where it peaked on the B-list.
Background and production
The song was co-written by Knight and Ivor Novello Award winning Amanda Ghost and was produced by The Rural.[3] Knight explained the lyrics are about love and loss: "It’s about holding on to the moment you are in”, she said, “because sooner or later you may have to say goodbye to that person you love."[4]
Critical reception
Jason Palmer from Entertainment Focus said "Beautiful Night is a very melodic and catchy tune that could be a radio favourite given the right exposure .. It's emotionally charged with an uplifting chorus and poignant theme throughout".[5] Indie London's Jack Foley said of the song "Beautiful Night drops a great beat and some tinkling piano loops over a soulful set of vocals to deliver an early highlight".[6]
