A Day in the Life (Eric Benét album) explained
A Day in the Life is the second studio album by American R&B singer Eric Benét. It was released on April 27, 1999, on Warner Bros. Records.[1] Benet's follow-up to his debut album, True to Myself (1996), it has sold 752,000 copies in the United States as of 2000.[2]
Critical reception
AllMusic editor Michael Gallucci rated the album four out of five stars and wrote: "Benét scores with a series of mellow grooves and sizzling duets aimed at both the body and brain. A Day in the Life is sharper than contemporary R&B, keeping the arrangements and production simple, all the while nodding toward the genre's golden era of the '70s."
