I saw that whack-ass review by Melanie Sims of ABC News and had to write something in favor of Eric Benet's new CD "Lost in Time." Eric baby, you did your thang! Unlike Chrisette Michele and El DeBarge, who I was eagerly anticipating, you delivered a beautiful, soulful project that is fluid in hits from beginning to end. I'm shocked that the song Chrisette does with you,"Take It," is more soulful than all the tracks on "Let Freedom Reign" combined.
"Lost in Time" is Eric Benet's best effort to date. I've always been a fan of his debut project, "True to Myself," and have enjoyed selections he's recorded since then, like the gem "Sweet Dreams" on Wayman Tisdale's "Way Up" CD. In the same vein, I'm glad Eric kept it real and isn't selling out like the rest of the so-called R&B artists that have gone mainstream. (The list is too long to mention names here!) So thank you for the soul, Eric. Thank you for the soul.
And as for you Melanie Sims, who told you you knew good soul music? Clearly, you don't know the genre and need to resign.
