Music reviews of Esoteric
Music Review: Esoteric!
Rating: 5 Stars
The word esoteric means "intended for or understood by only a selected few." I said that to say that everyone is not going to enjoy this album because everyone doesn't understand or know what good music is. This is amazing music. I was fortunate enough to see Eric Roberson (or "Erro", as his true fans call him) in concert. I had front row seats so I saw, up close and personal, how wonderful and talented he is. That was the first time I had heard a great deal of his songs and from then on, I knew I had to support him. Everything about his music is just that, music. The instrumental arrangements are nice, the lyrics are very good, and he executes his music well.
This album has its share of mid-tempos and up-tempos, but the overwhelming majority of this LP is ballads. I was pleased because I'm a ballad fanatic. His ballads are so sweet and sincere, the ladies are truly in for a treat. My absolute favorite song on this album is track number two, "4U." The entire arrangement of this song is incredible. The beat is infectious and so is the melody. Too, the lyrics are very nice. Those who ended up in a relationship with someone who used to be a good friend should listen to "Morning After." Eric apparently has been down that road and a beautiful song was produced in the aftermath. This album has lots of guitar and piano, but the best songs usually do. "What is Love Made Of?" and "Maybe" are both nice numbers. Ironically, the beat of "What is Love Made Of?" sounds a little like Mary J. Blige's song called "Don't Go." The hook on "What is Love Made Of" is very memorable.
I have spent mostly my entire review praising this album. I suggest that anyone who is a lover of R&B and/or neo soul purchase this album for its consistency, sincerity and creativity. 5 SHINING STARS!
