(June 12, 2026) Since he broke out thirty years ago, singer and songwriter Eric Benét has been a consistent musical force, using his malleable, multi-octave voice and his always-on musical instincts to deliver accessible songs that possess a timeless feel.
And “timeless” is a good description for his new single, “Who’s Gonna Save Us?”, a song with an early 70s funk backdrop and a thoroughly relevant message about re-finding our human connection at a time when our world feels on edge.
Eric says, “This song came from reflecting on the world around us and the questions so many people are quietly carrying. Sometimes we’re all searching for answers, for hope, for healing and for something that reminds us we’re not alone. I wanted this song to feel honest and human, something people could truly connect to.”
“Who’s Gonna Save Us?” hits all the online services today, and it is a welcome addition to any playlist. With a message and a sound that would work any time in the past half century, the song again shows Eric Benet to be a master music man. Check it out below.
