Editorial Reviews

If Eric Benet's career can be defined by anything, it's the purity of emotion. He's consistently made music that speaks to love and speaks from the soul, and on 'Lost In Time' he does it once again. Featuring duets with Faith Evans, Chrisette Michele, Ledisi and the O'Jays Eddie Levert, 'Lost In Time' is at once a sumptuous homage to and an expansion of the sweet soul of the 1970's.

Passionate, playful and heartfelt, 'Lost In Time' is a love song to the love of making sweet soul music. 'I want people to remember what music is and what it can feel like. There's so much to be depressed about right now and I think this more so than ever that you need to remember how good it feels to get back to the real. People just need to have some feel good R&B in their lives.'

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best R&B albums I've heard all year November 30, 2010

By Derrick Dunn

Format:Audio CD

Two years ago Raphael Saadiq released an excllent album The Way I See It which paid tribute to the Motown of the sixites. Two years later, Eric Benet touches on the seventies with his fifth album Lost In Time. Benet pays tribute to the era in particular with the ballads in this excllent album.
Track By Track

1. Never Want To Live Without You - The album opens with a nice slow which showcases Benet's voice in top form. **** out of ****

2. Feel Good (feat. Faith Evans) - I still remember the first duet (Georgie Porgy) Faith & Eric did from Benet's A Day In The Life album. Eleven years later the chemistry is still there with this grown & sexy party jam. Faith Evans is proving to be a go to duet partner with this song and her recent grown & sexy duet Lay With You with El. Debarge from his new album Second Chance. **** out of ****

3. Sometimes I Cry - The lead single where Benet uses his falsetto to work wonders. Listening to this song and seeing the video I was reminded of the classic Lenny Williams song Cause I Love You. **** of out ****
4. Always A Reason - This is another smooth slow jam, that reminded me of the classic song Sideshow by Blue Magic. **** out of ****

5. Paid (feat. Eddie Levert) - I've never know Benet' to duet with male singer but this song sounds like one of the best songs The O `Jays never recorded. **** out of ****

6. Take It (feat. Chrisette Michele) -The second female duet on the album, this is more a modernized song and the lovely Chrisette Michele's voice complaint's Benet's voice very well. **** out of ****.

7. Stir It Up - This is another modernized song and just makes you feel good while listening to it. *** out of ****
8. Summer Love (feat.... India Benét) - Benet brings it back to the old school with this song and I could easily see Stevie Wonder singing a song like this during his Songs in the Key of Life era. Benet's daughter also shows that talent runs in the family. **** out of ****

9. Lost In Time - Another amazing ballad which is remiscent of the doo wop sound of the fifties and sixties. **** out of ****

10. Good Life (feat. Ledisi) - Now an Eric Benet album wouldn't be complete without something to dance to. Listening to this song I found myself snapping my fingers and just motivated to dance. **** out of ****

11.Something's Wrong - The album's closes out with a jazz infused ballad, which once again showcases one of the finest voices in R&B today. **** out of ****

Eric Benet has produced a excellent fifth album which continues to show his talent as a singer. This album will not only please those who appreciate real R&B music, but also those whose the days when singers would put their heart and soul into their work. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars I Found Eric Just In Time November 30, 2010

By 90sGeekChic

Format:Audio CD

I went into this album with an open mind, not knowing what to expect. Eric has been out of the game for some time, and I don't own any of his previous albums. I just know of a few singles here and there, so I thought, "Eh, I'll give it a listen."

START-TO-FINISH, I didn't have to skip one track. The album is beautifully put together. All the songs flow into each other. In fact, my initial response was "This album is what Maxwell wanted 'Blacksummernights' to be." THIS is the very album I expected from Maxwell, and I didn't get that.

But I'm so glad Eric brought it to me on a silver platter. (I tweeted about it, not directly to him, but he found my tweets and responded positively!) Should I get the chance to see him in concert soon, I'm going. BUY THIS ALBUM!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great CD in this Era of Non Singing Fools!!!! December 1, 2010

By Warren H. Burns

Format:Audio CD

I highly recommend this cd to you all. We live in a society of evolution and when you think that we are going back to our roots of music and not allowing ourselves to be caught up in this era of Neo Soul, Hip Hop or even Rap. We should thank our lucky stars that we still can and always will turn back to real music and real sing. Eric Benet has always been not only a great singer, but an outstanding live performer. His latest project Lost I Time is just that...A timely collection of songs that will not only captivate you, but it keep having you wanting more. Great arrangements, great lead and background fills. I understand that as time change, we all have to change with the times. Listen people try and get it...Eric Benet really doesn't need to change and even if he doesn't change with the times, at least we will still continue to hold on to one of the best voices and true singers in this generation. I never thought that he could top "Hurricane", but I guess I was wrong...this is an outstanding cd and I highly recommend this project to all of you. Stand outs on this project..."Always A Reason", "Never Want To Live Without You", "Sometimes I Cry", "Stir It Up" and the title track "Lost In Time". His falsetto has to be one of the best in this business of false studio singers and fools trying to get attention from what they haven't even put a dent in the industry. (Trey Songs) hint..hint.

3.0 out of 5 stars A New Direction November 30, 2010

By Jivon Lee Jackson

Format:Audio CD

I've been with Benet since True To Myself. He still has the voice that he had all those years ago, but something has changed. Many music fans want their favorite artists to put out projects that mirror one another. I myself am no such fan, and have liked the way Benet has weaved in an out of different styles throughout his career. Lost in time is no exception. Honestly Benet really shines on the duet's on this CD. Over the years he has made music magic with Faith Evans, Tamia, and Terry Dexter. He teams up with Chrisette Michelle (in one of her more enjoyable songs), Eddie Levert, and Ledisi to amazing results. Don't get me wrong his is great on the rest of the album as well, and musical evolution is truly something to hear.
