Synopsis

Product Description
Instant genius from the mighty Eric Roberson -- easily one of the greatest soul singers we've ever heard -- and that's saying a lot, given how many records we've listened to over the years! Eric's one of the few artists who can bring a smile to our face from the very first note of a new album -- and this set's got us smiling all the way through -- sharing Eric's tremendous sense of joy and love in his music, and further marveling at his growing talent as a songwriting over the years. Roberson's voice is enough to make a tune great -- but his lyrics here are especially great, personal themes and topics that come off with a real sense of poetry that few other singers can match. Eric's way ahead of the pack here -- setting a new standard for the male voice in soul music, yet also firmly placing himself amidst a strong lineage from the classic years. Why this guy isn't a superstar is beyond us -- but honestly, we're loving him at this level -- because it means that Eric is as upfront and close as his music! Titles include "Music", "Evening", "Been In Love", "Iluvu2much", "Only For You", "Too Soon", "Pretty Girl", "If I Had A Chance", and "The Baby Song"....Dusty Groove America

CD Reviews

COP THIS!!!
SoulSistah#1 | Where I'm at! | 04/01/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first saw Eric perform live on an obscure television show called 8101, off of the Colors network. From that time, I have been on an independent mission to cop his work. To say Eric has a beautiful voice would be stating the obvious. What is most impressive is that he writes most of his music, which judging from the CD liner notes, are based on real experiences. Having said that, whatever emotion, Eric felt when writing the songs is absolutely captured in the texture and tone of his voice. This is some real, non digitalized, homegown w/o hormones singing. Yes, it has been said that neo soul is Dead... Perhaps, but Eric is literally the second coming of neo soul. Not one song on this album is bad, even the experimental bonus track, which reminds of a tune from the 80's. The lyrics are outstanding. Please step outside the R n B box, I promise you won't be disappointed!!!"

"If there's anyone who doesn't know or you've never heard of Eric Roberson some how, he is the leading voice in the underground soul scene. He sure does not disappoint with his latest project "LEFT". I've never heard songs filled with so many different views, emotions, and character. You'll find a song for ANY situation you've might have went through or are going through.

"Music" the title track is a great opener. Eric does a great job bringing you in to the true meaning of what music is all about...



"Pen Just Cries Away" another outstanding song, is about someone who because of his last relationship, he can't help but write in the sad mood he's in. THAT IS SO TRUE (for any writers out there...)



"ILuvU2Much" another classic feat the talented and beautiful Algebra, explains that no matter how hard it is to walk away from a relationship you have to love yourself enough if it's hurting you. Nice uptempo duet..



"Pretty Girl" a smooth tune, talks about a girl who doesn't know how to get by in life without using her beauty. And Eric trying to school her on why she shouldn't and what could happen to her... The way he sings with sympathy for her is crazy good...



"Open Your Eyes" says it all. Listen and you will definitely feel it after you do...



"The Baby Song" is one of the most original songs EVER. What a fun way to explain the process of the last moments before child birth. GENIUS.





I could go on and on because each song has it's own uniques story, and there is not one song you would skip over on this CD...



If you don't own this Cd yet or any of his music, please try it, cause I know it will change you perspectives on music. It changed mine..."
Please give it up for roberson

"To me this is the best R&B cat never to blow up. I can't imagine what it is that people want from r&b. It is not hip hop even though that's the only way people tend to identify it. He's too good to fall through the cracks. My favorite track is without question "Too Soon". His ability to flow over smooth music with heart felt lyrics without sounding like a huge cornball is magical on this track along with the rest of the CD.

Too bad radio is too busy riding the jocks of the dirty south to give true talent some play on their tired programs. The music industry is depressing to a true music lover. Pick up this CD and you can feel free to respond to me however you want if you don't like. This is SPLENDID work by this brother. By the way another loved track is "Pretty Girl". Just go get it."
