Organic R&B that brings the warmth of 70s soul back to the modern era
Eric Benet's fifth album, themed around 70s soul, is an analog-oriented work that reached number 8 on the US R&B chart and number 33 on the Billboard 200.
This album reimagines classic '70s soul, featuring a warm sound centered around strings and live instruments. The lead track, "Sometimes I Cry," reached No. 16 on the R&B Songs chart. While featuring a diverse range of guest artists, such as the duet with Faith Evans on "Feel Good" and the Eddie Levert-featured track "Paid," the album maintains a cohesive overall feel. His smooth, deep vocals stand out, with nods to the Isley Brothers and Al Green evident throughout.
