Eric Benét and Keri Hilson Team Up For ‘Can’t Wait’

R&B veteran Eric Benét and Keri Hilson are giving fans a new song for the summer.

Titled “Can’t Wait,” the song boasts about showing up to a function with your favorite person by your side.”I can’t wait till I show up in there with you/I know I ain’t got nothing else to prove,” the duo sings on the chorus.

“It has always been a dream of mine to release music with Keri,” Benét shared in a press release. “She’s an undeniably powerful songwriter, a phenomenal singer, and just a beautiful person inside and out. Being able to bring the vision of to life has been an incredible experience, and I am beyond excited to finally share this song with our fans!”

To accompany the single release, the Grammy-nominated star dropped a feel-good video featuring Hilson. Set in a club scene, the singers have a playful back-and-forth moment against a golden, snazzy backdrop. DJ D-Nice can be seen at the :19 second mark for a cameo appearance.

“Can’t Wait” is the first single lifted from Benet’s upcoming duets album The Co-Star. The 13-song album taps in R&B heavy-hitters like Keri Hilson, India Arie, and many more as it explores the genre in a new light. Using classic R&B as a vehicle, the album plays with old-school sounds, Brazilian bossa nova beats, swelling orchestral moments, and even Spanish guitar.

Serving as Benét’s first full-length release in almost 10 years, The Co-Star will be available everywhere on June 6th.
