Here are some customer reviews of
Hurricane
: OH MY GOD! My Eric Benet is back with a new album. I didn't even know he had a new album coming out until I was reading the Best Buy circular. I got so excited I couldn't wait to get the album. I have been missing Eric something awful. I want this album to do well. This album is as good as his first two which I love because I know that he stayed consistent and didn't try to change. This is a must have album. Eric good job.
Eric Benet has done it again! Because Eric had been struggling with alcoholism and other things, I was curious if his voice would still be as good as it was on his 2 other albums.....It is just as amazing! Each track gives you something new. These album consists of layed back grooves to passionate ballads to some old Eric Benet style too (like songs off his first album). No matter what style he is singing, he ALWAYS sings with soul. From beginning to end, this CD takes you on a ride. Eric Benet is one of the top two vocalist I have ever heard in my life. Someone left a review saying that he does not have the vocal range to do these big ballads....let me tell you, thats one of the most incorrect things I have ever heard. The way he does these songs and the way he sings on this album sounds effortless. I got this CD almost a month ago and I am still listening to it non-stop. A job well done Eric. God bless you and your gift. Thankyou for touching my life
 All those Eric Benet fans wondering if this album is worth the $15 or so bucks, yes it is. Eric's last album "A Day In The Life" you may know was a rich mixture of R&B, Smooth Jazz and Pop. This album is a little more adult contemporary. Without a doubt Eric uses this album to do some soul searching and uses his music as therapy to deal with the events of the past 6 years.
The one thing you can count on is that all the songs here are written beautifully. Beautiful poetic lyrics and melodies, some with full orchestra arrangements. This album is definately bluer than his last album, but you would expect that after hearing about his love life in the news in recent years. I believe Eric is using this album "Hurricane" to purge himself of his pain and regrets among other things, and move forward. Hopefully the next album will be more upbeat, but more importantly be JUST AS consistant as this one is.
 Halle ain't coming back, so stop the whining. I bought this as a sympathy purchase and was quite disappointed. Did expect the sad, pittying and apologizing, but where is that funky soul? Come back when you've gotten past all the drama and give us the Eric of Old.
This is the album has so many emotional Levels.Eric, This project actually help me fall in love with myself after a serious relationship breakup. You did an outstanding job!!!!! God bless your Brother.
