Eric Benet
Eric Benet is on top of the world these days. The R&B soul singer/songwriter/producer is sounding strong, romantic and full of joy on his aptly titled third solo effort, Love & Life.
They say home is where the heart is, and Eric returned to his Milwaukee, Wisconsin roots to record his latest album. On co-writing and producing eleven of the twelve tracks with his partners, Eric says: “Musically and creatively, it’s just as I envisioned it. I wanted to make a record that was a good feeling R&B record, and some of the best R&B for me growing up had a dash of gospel, a couple dashes of jazz. You could feel the social consciousness and you could feel where the artist was in his or her life. Whatever challenges, victories, blessings that I’m presently experiencing and the fruit of all that, are the songs that I write.”
It is abundantly clear through Love & Life that Eric Benet feels good, and it is magnifies from the inside out: “I want people to be able to discover some of the truths that I have and to feel the passion for life written between the lines and to just to put it pure and simply — to be moved by my music.”
