New Album From Eric Benet

Has anyone checked this out? I copped it last week and was really surprised I enjoyed it as much as a did. There are several cuts that are quite obviously Prince-inspired. Really great album. Probably my second favorite album of 2016 (right behind Melba Moore's "Forever Moore").

Very good CD. Definitely inspired by Prince on many tracks. I don't know how these dudes can be married to ex Prince girls and jock him like that. The musicians and band on the album are tight.

Not to my knowledge. The marriage broke up due to his "sex addiction" and the fact that he was constantly cheating on her. He couldn't help it. confused I don't know. Judging from the lyrics on some of these album cuts, seems like he's still sufferring from that addiction. biggrin

I have purchase two of his albums like his first and maybe his fourth I think. I usually don't like his albums as a whole but maybe like 3 songs. He does have a nice voice. He is one of the better singers out there.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
