Press Release Body = BurnLounge, the world\'s first fan-driven digital download
service, announced today that Grammy-nominated R&B/soul singer/songwriter Brian
McKnight opened his personal BurnLounge Store, delivering access to his acclaimed
catalog of albums, including his current release, "Ten."

BurnLounge is a fan-driven digital download service that taps the power of the
personal referral from passionate music and entertainment fans. With the BurnLounge
platform, artists and fans can participate in the music and entertainment industry
by creating and managing their own online digital download stores. Music fans,
musicians, DJ\'s, and artists can share their passions and personal tastes in their
own download Store, while receiving a percentage of the sales.

By opening my own BurnLounge and making my music available through the BurnLounge
community, I\'m able to put the power of promotion into the hands of my fans and
reach a much broader audience of passionate music lovers,\' said Brian McKnight.

Selling 16 million albums since his self-titled debut in 1991, Brian McKnight is
recognized for having defined the true meaning of American soul man. Brian, like his
spiritual Motown godfathers, has a velvety voice and silky style that captures the
vibe of vintage soul. This blend can be clearly heard on his latest disc, "Ten," on
new label, Warner Bros Records. Brother Claude McKnight, of 10-time Grammy
Award-winning group Take 6, introduced Brian to BurnLounge one month after having
launched his own store to promote the release of Take 6\'s latest album, "Feels
Good.\" Brian joins many platinum-selling artists in becoming a member of the
BurnLounge community by launching their own BurnLounge Stores, including Kanye West,
Justin Timberlake, KISS, the Elvis Presley Estate, Willie Nelson, Danica Patrick,
and many more.

Brian, like his brother Claude, recognized the future of music is digital and sees
BurnLounge as a new channel to reach his fans in a more meaningful way,\' said Alex
Arnold, co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer. \'We designed BurnLounge so
that artists such as Brian have an outlet for not only distributing music but also
deepening their relationship with their fans.
