One factor I used to be very impressed with about Eric Benet’s final album “Misplaced in Time” was the variety of nice duets he included on there in a time when duets in r&b are scarce. In fact, Eric is understood for a few of his timeless duets over time, with probably the most memorable probably being his marriage ceremony staple “Spend My Life With You” with Tamia. One other very memorable collaboration was his first duet with Religion Evans on “Georgy Porgy” (Additionally they got here collectively on “Really feel Good” final 12 months from Eric’s album). What’s most fascinating about this story is how enamored each artists have been with one another and the extent of respect that existed previous to working collectively. We had an opportunity to talk with each of them concerning the track, and first here’s what Eric needed to say in an interview we did with him final 12 months:
Eric Benet: Effectively the primary time I labored with Religion it was simply such an satisfying expertise as a result of I’ve at all times been an enormous Religion fan and I feel she’s simply an unbelievable vocalist. So after I was within the studio doing “Georgy Porgy,” it was a bit little bit of me being star struck getting in however it turned out to be simply that she was such a candy, humble individual. The track was very profitable for each of us and I feel over time I’ve simply been ready for the fitting track for she and I to get down on once more. When my cousin and I first wrote this track “Really feel Good” I instantly thought that Religion would sound dope on that.
Moreover, Religion had this so as to add concerning the expertise in an interview we did along with her beforehand:
Religion Evans: That’s one in all my favorites too! I simply did a track with him for his [“Lost in Time”] album too. He known as me his final album, and I feel I used to be pregnant or it was one thing bizarre the place it was a loopy time and I couldn’t make it occur in time. That’s like my boy, I really feel like he’s my brother simply from the primary time when he got here, I feel that was earlier than Motown Dwell which on the time he sat on the total rehearsal for 2 hours ready for me. And I had by no means met him, I knew who he was, and he stated “I want you to get on this track with me.” And I feel we went to the studio the exact same day. *Laughs* I used to be simply honored like, “Actually? You want me??” *Laughs* And I really like that track.
