(March 7, 2024) The "King of Indie Soul" and longtime SoulTracks favorite, Eric Roberson, has been releasing a steady flow of singles over the past several months, exploring new acoustic musical styles that have pleasantly surprised his longtime fans.
For his newest single, "You," Erro delivers a soulful ballad that expresses a gratitude from within for the kind of love that completes a person. He says, "The song 'You' has a hidden inspiration. The main focus is about finding someone who completes the missing parts about you. You can love anyone, but it feels different when you love the person truly meant for you. Now the fun part is, this song is part of a story I am writing. The story is about a world renown poet, who is so infatuated with the art of words, it interferes with his love life. In this story, the song 'You' is actually a love story to the letter 'u.'
