I’ve decided that instead of trying to describe the music I listen to in a long, drawn-out colloquy, I would summarize my thoughts in 7 words. Here we go:
Eric Benet – Lost In Time
“Where on earth did the sexy go?”
Nicki Minaj – Pink Friday
“Proof that marketing is a growing field.”
El DeBarge – Second Chance
“Completely safe and comfortable re-entry to music.”
I don’t think I can put into words the enormous crush I have on Eric Benet. And it is not just a “here lately” thing; I’ve had this crush probably since I saw him singing to Halle that night on the Soul Train Awards many years ago. More than that, though, is the fact that his voice sounds like it has just been delivered from heaven. He comes fully equipped with one of the sweetest falsettos I have ever heard, and all of his songs seem to speak directly to me (at least they do in my mind).
This week, I turn my ears to Eric Benet. There will probably be a lot of daydreaming and inappropriate smiles on my part, but hey, I can live with that. Here is one of my favorites, which also happens to be the most recent:
