The singer admitted that she is keen to stand out from other soul stars like Adele and Duffy on the new disc.
"I'm in the studio working hard on the record," Beverley told the Daily Star. "It's soul obviously but it has funk and a lot of other elements to it.
"It won't be a slow album like Adele or Duffy - it will be more upbeat and rocky with big, big vocals. It may sound like early Tina Turner and there may be a little bit of Chaka Khan in there."
Knight added that she is thrilled with the current prominence of female artists in the UK charts, giving special praise to troubled singer Amy Winehouse.
She said: "For me, the queen of the new generation is Amy. She is an outstanding talent."
