ERIC ROBERSON's latest release, "BEAUTIFULLY ALL OVER THE PLACE," is officially available on all streaming and download platforms now. #BAOTP, is Roberson's 18th studio album and once again proves why he is the "King of Indie-Soul" music. The album is released via his Blue Erro Soul Music label imprint. In the spirit of being "Beautifully All Over The Place," Eric just released his second book, also titled, "BEAUTIFULLY ALL OVER THE PLACE," and is available exclusively via EricRobersonMusic.com.


The #BAOTP album was introduced to fans with the first single, "WHERE YOU GONNA GO" featuring BJ The Chicago Kid. “Where You Gonna Go is a song that explores simple extremes”, says Roberson. “It’s inspired by a question I ask myself to help the sunshine, even when facing storms. “A lullaby hook blended with 70’s soul, Detroit hip hop, and 3/4 gospel undertones invite listeners to engage in everything from slow dancing with a partner to praying for them. The song’s mission is to enhance people’s self-worth and growth," he adds. Eric Roberson and BJ The Chicago Kid performed the song exclusively on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

The album roll-0ut followed with the release of the single, "OVER YOU, UNDER YOU," featuring 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. 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. if you allow it, the song can pull you in a multitude of directions. 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,” shares Eric Roberson.

Then came the powerful release of one of Eric's most personal songs yet, "FIGHT THRU IT ALL." "This song was born in the middle of a storm. I wrote it, sang through it, and cried through it while trying to find my way—and somewhere in that process, the sun began to shine. My prayer is that if anyone hears this song while they’re in their own storm, the sun will start to shine on them too." "When we filmed this video, 20 volunteers came to share what they were fighting through. It was by far the most emotional, exhausting, challenging, and rewarding video I’ve ever created."

The latest treat from the album is the nostalgic, "SWEETER THAN YOU," featuring Grammy award-winning songstress, Avery*Sunshine. The beautiful tune is already sweetening palates across airways around the country. The song has become a fan-favorite and was recently performed exclusively on The Tamron Hall Show, in honor of "Love Week."

New Music: Will Preston - "Don't Like Falling In Love"


On the heels of continued critical recognition and a steadily growing global audience, Will Preston returns with Don’t Like Falling In Love, a smooth and emotionally layered R&B/pop record that explores the aftermath of heartbreak and the guarded mindset it leaves behind.


At its core, the song captures the internal conflict of a man who knows exactly what love can feel like and what it can cost. Once fully invested, Preston now approaches connection with hesitation, shaped by a past experience that shifted his perspective entirely. The narrative unfolds with honesty, reflecting both the memory of deep love and the resolve to never be that vulnerable again. 

The hook, “I’m a lover but I don’t like falling in love,” serves as the song’s defining statement. It is a contradiction that reveals everything. It is not a rejection of love itself, but a refusal to surrender completely. While the desire to connect remains, there is a clear boundary. Some parts of him will remain protected. 

Preston’s signature vocal delivery glides effortlessly over polished, contemporary production, balancing smooth control with emotional weight. His phrasing carries intention, allowing the story to unfold in a way that feels both personal and universally relatable. The result is a record that resonates with anyone who has ever loved deeply and learned to move differently because of it.

With a catalog rooted in emotional depth, Will Preston continues to craft music that speaks to real experiences. Don’t Like Falling In Love further solidifies his ability to capture the complexities of love, growth, and self-preservation in a way that lingers long after the music fades.

Whether through his music or his lifestyle brand, My Best Interest Apparel, Preston continues to push creative boundaries, reinforcing his position as a multifaceted artist with a distinct and intentional voice.
