This is a solid set of very competent soul songs, full stop. I hate comparing artistes to others but if you like Anthony Hamilton or Donell Jones, I think you will like this dude. (There's a third person he reminds me of but I can't quite put my finger on who it is).

Anyway, it's all here: beautiful slow jams, interesting mid-tempos and even one or two potential club bangers. "Crazy..." for example, features a rapper called John Baptist and I fear the only reason why this song didn't make more of an impact on the charts or on MTV is because he isn't one of those high profile rappers. A reflection of where we are in music today and a pity really, because the song is no less entertaining for it.

Eric not only sings, he 'recorded and mixed' all the songs here as well. It doesn't give details on the inner sleeve notes but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he played all the instruments on the songs as well. A genuine talent.

Profound,vintage vocals merge with matercrafted seamless soul gravitating musical chords, yep, the man is a music-bred-individual with vivid attribute on how to collage using mental seduction vocals to amplify his reality relevance scenery on love and life. And may i add, his authenticity is truely rich with earthy deliveries of his influences (such as marvin gaye just to name a legend).

For new-listeners, his work is truely a message of what music is suppose to be, you know! ( birthed in the mind, led to the hands to sculpture and for the vocals to pave the movement of love and life. And o , not to end there, for the material to be fully displayed and executed in real life concert.)

Eric is a comforting zone for many souls.

I saw this guy in concert first and I have to say his music is the bomb! It's trully unlike anything else you've been hearing but exactly like what you want to be hearing and don't even know you want it until you get it and wonder how you were living without it for so long. I'd advise everyone to get on his fanlist so you can see when he comes to your town.
