GRAMMY nominated R&B icon Eric Benet will release his 6th album, aptly entitled THE ONE. Featuring the first single, Real Love, which has become a Top 5 Urban AC smash, THE ONE marks a moment of positive transition in his life. THE ONE will also be the fi rst album released on Benet s newly formed record label Jordan House Records, in partnership with EMI.
As Benet grew up in Milwaukee in the 1970s at the time one of the most segregated parts of the US music was a huge part of his family home, the Jordan house. At the Jordan house you were guaranteed to hearsinging, different instruments being played, and a musical celebration happening everytime you visited. Music was truly woven into the fabric of his upbringing. He describes
THE ONE as a very contemporary approach to old-school songwriting integrity and will include with Benet s signature mid-70s soul groove, a variety of instruments from strings to horns, a lullaby for his new baby girl, a confirmed duet with his first daughter India Benet, and more special guests including the unexpected Lil Wayne, who has many times been quoted in the press as a huge Benet fan. To his thousands of fans who have followed Eric Benet over the years, this album will truly be THE ONE.
As a teenager, he performed in a family vocal group (appropriately named Benét) with his sister and cousin. The group signed with Capitol Records and released an eponymous album in 1992 that largely went unnoticed. Eric blazed his own trail as a solo artist shortly afterward, signing to Warner Bros. and releasing his debut album, True to Myself, in the fall of 1996.
