Eric Roberson ‘All I Want’ Feat. Kenny Greene & Intro
“ALL I WANT” is the latest single lifted from the recently released critically-acclaimed 17th studio album, “LESSONS“. The nostalgic and alluring music video was directed by Steven Jon (Oh Yeah Cool) and just made its BET SOUL and BET.com world premiere. “ALL I WANT” was written by Eric Roberson, Kenny Greene and Dwayne Bastiany and produced by Bastiany for Major Music, LLC. with additional vocals by Kenny Greene, Jeff Sanders and Clinton “Buddy” Wike. “This song has everything in it that I love about R&B. Emotional subject matter, memorable melody and dark, deep soulful music. I am a huge fan of the group, Intro. The lead singer, Kenny Greene was one of the best writers and singers I had ever heard. With him passing in 2001, he left a void in R&B. I am extremely happy to have a performance from him showcased on this record,” mentions Eric Roberson. “LESSONS” ALBUM (AVAILABLE NOW) Whether over the course of his sixteen beloved LPs (2001’s The Esoteric Movement to 2020’s Hear from Here) or through songwriting/production/vocal collaborations with the likes of Jill Scott, Dwele, Musiq Soulchild, Vivian Green, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spinna and others, fine-tuned R&B music ears have come to recognize and make a somewhat spiritual connection with his everyday relatable, multi-influenced vibe which mirrors their own lives and experiences. “It’s R&B and soul music, but I’m a hip-hop dude,” Eric replies, of his influences as it relates to his music’s appeal. Indeed, nothing less than heartfelt gratitude for the blessing of being able to continue releasing music through his very own Blue Erro Soul Entertainment, as well as accolades which have included two successive Grammy nominations for “Best Urban/Alternative Performance” (for “A Tale of two” in 2010; “Still” in 2011), a BET J Virtual Award for “Underground Artist of the Year” (2008), being distinguished as the first independent artist to be nominated for a BET Award in 2007 and sold-out tours throughout the world is what makes Eric Roberson, “The Soul Man himself”. Earlier this year, Eric Roberson released the lead single from the album, “Lessons” to rave reviews across the board. He later recorded the current the TOP 20 Billboard R&B song, “Lessons” (Remix) featuring Anthony Hamilton, Raheem DeVaughn and Kevin Ross to instant success. This superstar collaboration led to a surprise performance appearance at the recent Verzuz battle featuring Anthony Hamilton and Musiq Soulchild, which left soul-music aficionados wanting more. He also recently released his first book, “LESSONS” (100 Thoughts on Life & Love), available HERE |
“LESSONS” ALBUM TRACKLIST: ABOUT ERIC ROBERSON: Eric is celebrating over twenty years as an independent artist, creating “Honest Music” since 2001, which has afforded him the artistic freedom that isn’t typically offered in the mainstream music industry. In 2020, Eric used this unprecedented time of solitude from the world to immerse himself creatively. With this, he created a powerful album, entitled “Hear from Here”, a musical cry out to its listeners who longed for a sound of hope. Roberson describes “Hear from Here” as an “act of service” to his devoted fans. Eric is currently a Professor at the legendary Berklee College of Music in Boston. When asked about the position he stated that, “It was an opportunity that I couldn’t refuse. I truly believe that at all times we are teachers and students. I not only love teaching the students but learning from them as well.” In 2017, Eric created “The Process”, a forum in which he invites fans to navigate through his creative experience. It allows fans to listen and comment to unreleased songs, thereby being a part of the “process” of making music. “We are losing so much of the culture that went with listening to music. Letting the fans watch us create the albums was our way of bringing some of the old music culture back.” says Eric. CONNECT WITH ERIC ROBERSON: Eric Roberson ‘All I Want’ Feat. Kenny Greene & Intro |
