Editorial Reviews
With one of the most beloved voices in music, GRAMMY nominated R&B icon Eric Benet
will release his 6th album, aptly entitled THE ONE. Featuring the fi rst
single, Real Love, which has become a Top 5 Urban AC smash, THE ONE marks a
moment of positive transition in his life and lyrically speaks to the many new beginnings
developing in his career and family including the recent marriage to Manuela
Testolini and the birth of his second daughter in December of 2011. 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 hear
singing, different instruments being played, and a musical celebration happening every
time 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.

I think this album is great .Love love love it. With this album Eric has proved that he can really be considered one of the best R and B artists of today. While his previous two albums were rather disappointing in my opinion ,this album reminds me of the old Eric whose music I fell in love with.Unlike "Hurricane " which I thought had a somewhat sad tone ,on "The One " Eric sounds happy again.My favourite track is certainly "Harriet Jones".You won't be disappointed if you buy this album.I listen to this album from beginning to end and I have yet to hear a track that I don't like.If you are a Eric fan or value good music especially R and B music with a modern jazz vibe this album is a must have!!!!!

Eric does it Again!
AS expected Eric Benet does not disappoint. His combination of R & B, neosoul, slow rythmic ballads and finger poppin tunes make this CD a must have.

Great Play
Very nice CD. I have enjoyed letting it play and feel it was worth the cost. I really bought it for "news for you" and ended up liking a lot of the other songs as well.
