After a long delay, Eric Benét is ready to release his sixth studio album “The One” on June 5. The R&B veteran has released the official album cover and tracklist to add buzz behind the project.
The 12-track LP, preceded by the single “Real Love,” will feature appearances from Lil Wayne, Shaggy and India Benét (Eric Benét’s daughter).
We haven’t heard Eric Benet’s duet with his daughter, but Eric did speak about the concept of the song:
My daughter, our relationship is very special. First of all, when you’re a father and you’re thinking, “OK, I want to write a song that my daughter and I can sing and I don’t want it to be corny and I know it can’t be like a relationship, romantic song,” so what the hell does that leave us? And really it leaves us a lot. I mean it left us with how special our relationship is. Ever since she was born, I can never get too down. I can’t get too bummed out ’cause it’s like, “Look what I got.” She’s kinda communicated a lot of those feelings to me, too. Hopefully, in a not too corny metaphor, [we] can paint that relationship.
