True to Myself is the debut album of R&B singer Eric Benét. It was released by on Warner Bros. Records on September 24, 1996 in the United States.[1] It was his first outing as a solo artist after the dissolution of his former group Benét, which he formed with his sister Lisa Jordan and cousin George Nash, Jr.[2] Benét received his deal with Warner Bros. Records from former EMI Records executive Alison Ball-Gabriel after corporate shakeups caused his former group to be dropped by the record label.[2]
Benet produced most of his debut with Demonté Posey and Nash, both of whom would work with him on his later recordings. In 1995, he released the song "Let's Stay Together", which originally appeared on the soundtrack of the 1996 Martin Lawrence film A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.[3] The music video to the song was directed by Charles Stone III.[4] The second single released from True to Myself was the McG directed "Spiritual Thang".[5] The album's biggest hit was the third single "Femininity", which was directed by a then-unknown Francis Lawrence.[6] "Femininity" also featured an appearance from then-unknown rapper Tiye Phoenix, who played a pregnant woman in the music video.[7] The title track was the fourth and final single released from the album with a video directed by Joseph Kahn.[8]
