U-Turn (Brian McKnight album)

U-Turn is the seventh studio album by American singer Brian McKnight. It was released on March 25, 2003 in the United States by Motown Records. The album takes much inspiration in McKnight's split from his wife Julie from whom he divorced the same year. While McKnight again provided the majority of the album, he also consulted musicians Anthony "Joint Custody" Nance, Rockwilder, and production duo The Underdogs to work with him. As with previous album Superhero (2001), he also enlisted several high-profile guest vocalists, including singers Carl Thomas, Joe, and Tank as well as rappers Nelly and Fabolous.

The album earned generally mixed reviews from music critics who called it uneven but well-crafted. U-Turn debuted and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard 200. In addition, it reached number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Lead single "Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda" entered the top forty of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
