Eric Benét Reveals ‘The Co-Star’ Tracks + New Visual feat. Corinne Bailey Rae
The Star-Studded All Female Collaboration Album Is Available June 13th.
Grammy-nominated R&B artist Eric Benét has unveiled the star-studded tracklist for his highly anticipated first full-length release in almost 10 years, “The Co-Star.”
The album will be available June 13th via JBR Creative Group.
Expanding on the concept of his recent Duets EP, Eric positions himself as the “co-star” to a cast of high-caliber duet partners, this time across 13 tracks.
To evoke a blend of both old and new sounds, the forthcoming album features collaborations with some of the R&B’s most iconic and distinct female voices, as well as rising stars.
Setting the groundwork with old-school sounds and inherent soulfulness, Eric Benét enlists the likes of several Grammy Award-winners, multi-time nominees, and musical tastemakers, including Ari Lennox, Alex Isley, India.Arie, Judith Hill, Goapele, Melanie Fiona, Jordin Sparks – and even tapping in fresh-voiced newcomers like Autumn Paige.
With the promise of a genre-bending journey, Benét seamlessly explores bossa nova sounds with the help of all-female Brazilian music trio, SalDoce, and balances orchestral moments with the expert stylings of vocal powerhouse, Pia Toscano. Also joining him are even more notable names from his recent chart-topping EP, like Chanté Moore, Tamar Braxton, Ledisi, LaTocha, and Corinne Bailey Rae.
Boasting some of the genre’s strongest female voices on the roster for this project, Eric is set to break-ground in the progressing R&B space with this latest release.
