For Eric Roberson fans, it’s about to be an Erro Summer. The indie soul king is coming in hot this month with his brand-new single “Over You/Under You,” the release of his next album Beautifully All Over The Place and the start of his Beautifully All Over The Place Tour.
Beautifully All Over The Place is Roberson’s 18th studio album, and even after 17 albums before it, he’s got a lot to say on this new project. The collection features the pensive lead single “Where You Gonna Go” with BJ The Chicago Kid and his latest joint, “Over You/Under You” featuring smooth jazz great Najee and Jayshawn Champion.
“This is a special song to me, it contains some of my favorite elements in music: tempo, word play, collaboration and funk,” Erro said about the new track via press release. “Najee and Jayshawn Champion are two of my favorite artists and friends, so it’s an honor to have them bring so much to this song.”
“The song can pull you in a multitude of directions,” he went on to state. “[There is] Lyrical content usually found on a ballad; instrumentation usually heard on a jazz record and tempo usually felt in house and dance music. We broke rules and loved every part of it.”
Roberson hasn’t shared additional details about Beautifully All Over The Place yet, but we do know that the LP will be released on Wednesday, July 23rd through his label Blue Erro Soul Entertainment. Before it drops, Eric will be stopping through various cities on the Beautifully All Over The Place Tour, which kicks off tomorrow night (Thursday, July 3rd) in New Orleans during a pre-ESSENCE Festival concert.
After letting the good times roll in NOLA, he will hit major markets such as St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and Baltimore. The tour will feature a mix of City Winery shows and dates at a few other venues, and it will run through the end of August. If you don’t see your city listed below, rest assured that more dates are on the way after the conclusion of this first leg.
