5.0 out of 5 stars Music For Grown Folks, January 6, 2005

For years now the only music in the African-American community has been created by or geared to young people and thugs. I am neither. If you go on any music site and search the word "ghetto" you will get nearly 2000 hits.

None of them will be Eric Roberson. Eric's music is far from bland. He has more soul in his little finger than most of the TOP 100. His songs are without expletives or crass content. But that's not what I like most about ERRO, its just what makes me able to listen to his music.

What I LOVE about Eric's music is that he tells stories in his songs. Instead of lyrics he provides background on how the song was written. Now that's an artist! His content is original. his music soothing (or funky) and his voice is amazing. "The Esoteric Movement" was his first project but released after The Vault 1.5. a more moody but excellent outing. Esoteric opens with some great driving jams like "4U" "Runaway" and "Crazy." He slows it down with amazing emotion with "Funny Feelings" and the soon to be anthem, "New Born Child."

I had the pleasure of meeting Eric and I was not surprised how full of love he is. Upon saying hello, I got a hug. Although he was just arriving at the venue, he took time to talk to me about his work and the show I was about to experience. When he came of stage more hugs as I congratulated him on a job well done. He told me I would have "fun" and he was right.

I have to thank ERRO for bringing me back to a genre I'd grown tired of. I could not bare to listen some hoochie sing about her baby daddy or some thug talking about who he was going to kill or sex. Eric has finally brought some "intelligent R&B" to the stage and I thank him.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST, June 12, 2002

THIS CD IS AWESOME! IT IS TOTALLY VOID OF ANY OF THE NEGATIVE ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF TODAY'S MUSIC AND YET GIVES YOU THE ESSENCE OF LOVE! ERRO'S VOCALS ARE PHENOMENAL ON THIS ALBUM AND ARE ONLY SURPASSED BY HEARING THEM LIVE! KEEP BOTH EYES ON THIS RISING STAR!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm in Love..., October 3, 2001

"WOW!!!!!!!!!!!" is all I can say about this incredible CD. Is this guy single b/c he's my dream man! The lyrics on here are earth shattering for a man to express, and he seems so sincere about them. If he isn't sincere about this stuff, he's a darn good actor. Songs like "Woman," "New Born Child," "Rain On My Parade," and "She Went Away" touched my heart and my soul. He also let me get my party on with songs like "Crazy," "4U," and "What Is Love Made Of." Thank you Eric Roberson. You have restored my faith in love and it's possibilities. You've also just filled a good part of my Christmas list. ALL of my girlfriends will be getting The Esoteric Movement in their Christmas stockings!
