Eric Darius is a name that rings with global reverence and critical acclaim. He’s got his way with the saxophone that makes hearts leap with joy and souls stir thanks to his innate competency and improvisational dexterity. They say some of the best saxophonists out there are natural-born storytellers. They want to do more than just entertain people, they want to connect with them and share more of their creative vision with the world. This is what has kept Eric a step ahead of others in the same field. A saxophonist, songwriter, and performer par excellence, he continues to set the bar higher in terms of quality production, performance value, and creation of timeless music.
Eric’s discography is a treasure trove of awesome contemporary jazz, soul, R&B, Funk, and Pop with songs exploring old-school vibes and contemporary influences alike. The airwaves currently belong to Darius and his new sonic tour de force “Grateful” featuring Eric Roberson.
A soulful ballad that was inspired by the very idea of true love and the sense of appreciation for the one person that completes you, Darius immerses us into the realms of nostalgic R&B with enchanting soul flourishes as his signature saxophone spreads delightful melodies all around, providing a smooth landing for the lead velvety vocals.
“Grateful” is the kind of performance that is experienced as opposed to just listening. The way Eric thoughtfully plays the saxophone, seamlessly blending its ear worming melodies with the radio-friendly R&B soundscape, makes for a tantalizing listening experience way beyond words can quantify.
It is easy to get lost in the track’s charms as well as its deeply relatable lyrics and the overall anthemic quality that means the song will keep on playing in your head long after the final notes fade away.
To bring the song’s thematic essence to life is the visually striking and befitting lyric video that elevates the song’s appeal further, capturing the attention of the viewer and listener as they enjoy something that feels quite holistic!
Already a radio-staple, “Grateful” is doing very well and generating massive buzz internationally. Eric would very much appreciate it if you gave the song a listen, added it to your playlist, and shared it with someone special like you.
