They say home is where the heart is, and Eric returned to his Milwaukee, Wisconsin roots to record his Friday/Reprise/Warner Bros. Records CD Love & Life.  Collaborating with his longtime production partner Demonte Posey and writer/producer/cousin George Nash, Jr., Eric completely opened his heart and soul with this decidedly organic production, exercising complete creative control over for the first time in his career.  Co-writing and producing eleven of the twelve tracks with his partners, “musically and creatively, it’s just as I envisioned it.  I wanted to make a record that was a good feeling R&B record, and some of the best R&B for me growing up had a dash of gospel, a couple dashes of jazz.  You could feel the social consciousness and you could feel where the artist was in their life.  Whatever challenges, victories, blessings that I’m presently experiencing and the fruit of all that, are the songs that I write.”  Having fun through the entire process, Eric’s sustained motivation from experiencing love and living life can be heard skillfully weaved throughout every album track.

It is abundantly clear through his upcoming CD, Love & Life that Eric Benet feels good, and it magnifies from the inside out.  As his journey to now continues to reflect the abundance he experiences, Eric wants his music to represent sheer honesty.  “I want people to be able to discover some of the truths that I have and to feel the passion for life written between the lines and to just to put it pure and simply—to be moved by my music.”
