Version 7 ( a mix of version 2-4)
Eric Roberson is an R&B artist from Rahway, New Jersey, USA. He is sometimes referred to simply as Erro.
Born and raised in a musical family in Rahway, New Jersey, some of Roberson’s earliest memories were of his father singing and playing guitar. Eric was singing even as a child, and began performing in earnest as a teenager. He attended Howard University on a Musical Theatre scholarship and performed frequently on campus, while also landing a recording contract with Warner Brothers, for which he recording the R&B hit “The Moon” in 1994. Roberson recorded an album for that label, which remained unreleased. He subsequently returned to Howard University to complete his studies in Musical Theatre. After performing in a number of musicals and plays, he landed a songwriting deal through the EMI label, and went on to collaborate with a slew of Philly based artists such as Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, and most extensively, DJ Jazzy Jeff. As a member of Jeff’s A Touch Of Jazz production company, Roberson made contributions to Jeff’s debut album, The Magnificent in 2002. He continued songwriting work as well as releasing his own material through his Blue Erro Soul imprint.
The desire for creative freedom led Roberson to shun major labels and work as an independent for his solo career, beginning with 2001’s The Esoteric Movement. Over the next half decade he violated virtually every tenet of conventional wisdom in fashioning one of the most successful independent recording careers. He’s released albums when he felt like it, and sometimes reworked and reissued them. He’s also sold his CDs principally through his concerts, small retail outlets and CD Baby, resulting in over 100,000 copies sold of his four critically acclaimed albums, The Esoteric Movement, The Vault, Vol 1, The Vault, Vol 1.5, and 2005’s The Appetizer.
If there is a face to the independent soul music movement, it is probably Eric Roberson. The respect he receives from other artists has been driven by his uncompromising success as well as from the unselfishness he has shown in support of other up-and-coming singers and musicians. That peer love appears to only be exceeded by the near fanatical following he has among a surprisingly large fanbase, making him a sort of indie soul royalty.
There is a quiet, and strong emerging force in music that is making its way back to the forefront. Soul music is trying to continue it re-emergence from the early millennium, when artists like Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, India Arie, D’Angelo, and Maxwell were common household names in the music scene. Though it seems that Hip Hop/R&B and commercial R&B has retaken the reigns away from soul music, it is heavily rising underneath the repetitive rhetoric heard on the radio waves. A language that once stood strong as the voice of love, unity, happiness, togetherness, and upliftment; looks to have lost its firm hold over the world of music as the soul’s voice to the ears of the world. Yet, if you look a little deeper, there is a new backbone of soul music… Though it may be silent and un-noticeable, it is daily reaffirming its place as the language of the soul. His body of work, the songs written and created, soul music has come back to the frontline of sound; and this brother is carrying the load. Eric Roberson is a Grammy Award nominated songwriter and the undisputed Prime Minister of Independent Soul that has been more than just a King of Independent Soul. He has been an Ambassador, Leader, Mentor, and has continually pave the road on how to be successful in the Independent Soul Music industry. For fifteen years, he has consistently produced eminent soul music, as well as been at the forefront of the Honest Music Movement.

It is here, that Eric received his first recording deal from Warner Bros. in 1994, releasing the song “The Moon”, which broke the top 40 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. Yet, Erro’s relationship with Warner Bros. ended soon after; so Eric Roberson went back to Howard University and finished his degree in 1997. From this point, determined to enter the music industry, Eric becomes the backbone of soul by writing his way back into music.
The song written work for another artist was “So Long” for the group Phajja. Then, he began to bust through the music with writing/co-writing a conglomerate of work for well-known R&B and Neo Soul artists, some which you know very well, but were unaware of the pen behind the passion. Songwriting list includes:
112 - “Funny Feelings” Room 112 (1998)
Will Downing - All the Man You Need (2000)

In "Fall," Eric Roberson sings of a desire to be with someone and share an intimate connection, without judging or pressuring them. He wants to embrace this person and lose themselves in the moment, letting their energies intertwine and bear the weight of their emotions. The lyrics are filled with imagery of falling or surrendering, as the singer longs to fall in love with this person.
The chorus repeats the line "When you and I are right, like the tears in your eyes, we fall," which can be interpreted in different ways. It could refer to the vulnerability and emotional openness that comes with being with someone you love, or to the sensation of falling into each other's arms in a moment of passion. The tears in someone's eyes could symbolize the intensity of their feelings or the release of emotions that comes with being close to someone.
One of the interesting aspects of this song is the use of repetition and delay effects, which create a dreamy, ethereal mood that matches the romantic theme. The instrumentation is sparse, with a simple beat, a few keyboard chords, and some atmospheric sounds that add to the ambiance. Roberson's vocals are smooth and soothing, conveying a sense of warmth and reassurance.
Another noteworthy aspect of "Fall" is its connection to Roberson's personal life. In an interview with SoulTracks, he explained that the song was partly inspired by a difficult period in his marriage. He said that writing the song was a way to express his love and commitment to his wife, even when they were going through various challenges.
Overall, "Fall" is a heartfelt and romantic song that speaks to the desire for intimacy and connection, even in the face of uncertainty or hardship.
