Classic Album Review: Eric Benét | A Day In The Life

Eric Benét is your daddy. And he wants you to come to papa.

Oh, baby. Who’s your daddy? That’s right girl; Eric Benét is your daddy. And he wants you to come to papa.

Daddy knows what you need, baby. First he’s gonna lay down some slinky, old-school funky grooves. Then he’s gonna pour his sweet, cafe-au-lait voice right in your ear and whisper sweet seductions like “hike up that skirt and show me just where I belong.” And you know, he’s so smooth that he can even turn songs by Toto (Georgy Porgy) and Kansas (Dust In The Wind) into make-out music. So come on, baby — you know you want to.
