New York, NY (May 15th, 2012) — With his 2nd single hitting radio strong and now a presenter at the Billboard Music Awards, the countdown is on with less than a month until the release of Eric Benét‘s new album The One on June 5th, 2012! This week it’s been confirmed that Benét will be presenting at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards this Sunday May 20th, 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Also, last week his 2nd single “Harriett Jones” was the #1 added song to urban AC radio and the buzz and anticipation keeps building as the R&B star continues to refer to The One as his “best work” to date. Distributed by EMI, Benét’s new album will include his traditional falsetto sound, plus a little funk, soul, up-tempo R&B, even some country, along with featuring artists like Lil Wayne and Shaggy, a duet with his first daughter India Benét and even a lullaby written for his new baby girl Lucia Bella!
With three songs from The One currently in the market— from his first single Real Love that hit #3 on the charts; to his 2nd single Harriett Jones impacting radio last week; and then the album leak of Red Bone Girl featuring Lil Wayne; fans can definitely get a feel for the depth and diversity of Benét’s new album. The One is also now available for Pre-Order: http://bit.ly/IWuPiS
