Album Review
Lost in Time is an appropriate title for Eric Benét’s fifth album: it’s designed to be deliberately out of time, a tribute to the ‘70s soul the singer grew up loving. Benét has never strayed too far from this template but on Lost in Time it’s possible to draw a family tree for each song, sometimes tracing back roots to specific songs: “Paid” grows out of “Papa Was a Rolling Stone”; “Feel Good” has the chord progression of “The Best of My Love.” When Benét isn’t saluting individual hits, he’s luxuriating in the sounds of Marvin, Prince, Stevie, and Gamble & Huff, replicating the textures of classic smooth soul, perhaps to the detriment of the melodies. Although it would be nice if the songs hooked deeply, sticking around in the brain after they’re finished playing, Benét has wound up with a seductive pastiche with Lost in Time, the kind of record that might not be deep but shimmers pleasingly on the surface.
Customer Reviews
Time Travelers, Put on Your Safety Belts!
I was a big fan of the Love & Life album, and I must say that Eric Benet has delivered another classic with Lost In Time. I've listened to the entire album along with the bonus tracks twice already and I have yet to find a single disappointing track. However, the ballads are indeed the standouts. What I like most about the album is the way that each song incorporates the 70's soul theme that Eric was striving for during the recordings. For instance, "Never Want to Live Without You" pays homage to songs such as "You Are Everything" by The Stylistics and "Love, Need and Want You" by Patti Labelle. Similarly, "Sometimes I Cry" is thematically reminiscent of "Cause I Love You' by Lenny Williams. The albums upbeat tracks such as "Feel Good", "Good Life", and "Paid" have musical elements similar to "Haven't You Heard" by Patrice Rushen, "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire, and "Backstabbers" by The O'Jays respectively. Lost In Time's nostalgic effort seems to also be its biggest shortcoming primarily because it cages in the lyrical creativity that fans would typically expect from Benet. All in all, Lost In Time is a must-have for any true R&B enthusiast, and will make a great ITunes playlist addition for the holidays.
