Album: Knnillssonn

Introduction
"Knnillssonn" is the tenth album by American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, released in 1977 by RCA Records. It marked a return to traditional pop musical plans for the artist, following his experimentation with rock and roll sounds in his previous albums. The title, which seems tough to pronounce, is a play on the artist's name and a nod to the truth that he thought about the album to be his finest work.

Production and Design
Produced by Harry Nilsson himself, "Knnillssonn" utilizes orchestral arrangements to create a lavish, sophisticated pop sound that is similar to his earlier success with "Nilsson Schmilsson". The album's orchestration was done by Mike McNaught, and it was recorded at CTS Studios in London. The cover art of the album was designed by Michael Bryan, a popular artist who had formerly dealt with Harry Nilsson's earlier albums.

Track List
"Knnillssonn" includes a selection of 10 tracks with a runtime of 37 minutes.

1. "All I Think About is You"
2. "I Never Thought I 'd Get This Lonely"
3. "Who Done It?"
4. "Lean on Me"
5. "Old Bones"
6. "Sweet Surrender"
7. "Blanket for a Sail"
8. "Laughin' Man"

The album features a mix of ballads, positive tracks, and Nilsson's hallmark wit. The opening track, "All I Think About Is You", is a sluggish and emotional ballad, showcasing Nilsson's capability to reveal vulnerability through his lyrics and vocal efficiency. "I Never Thought I 'd Get This Lonely" is an effective and haunting tune about isolation and self-reflection. "Who Done It?" is a tongue-in-cheek whodunit anthem that highlights Nilsson's funny bone.

Vital Reception
"Knnillssonn" received important recognition upon its release, with many reviewers applauding the album's well-crafted structures and Nilsson's vocals. The album was deemed a recover for Nilsson, who had faced criticism for his previous speculative releases. Regardless of its strong evaluations, the album failed to make a considerable industrial impact, possibly due to the decrease in popularity for standard pop music stimulated by the development of hard rock and disco.

Tradition
In the years that followed its release, "Knnillssonn" started to get a cult following among fans of Nilsson's music. Today, the album is regarded as among the finest works in his catalog and has been included in lists of the best albums of the 1970s. The impact of "Knnillssonn" can be heard in the music of numerous modern singer-songwriters who have actually cited Nilsson as an inspiration for their own work.
