Album Review

Eric Roberson is a new soul stalwart and The Vault was his belated introduction to most of the listening public, even though he began recording and relentless touring the previous decade. The album includes all the Roberson motifs with which, later in the decade, his growing and cultish fan base would identify: the hip-hop-influenced rhythms and vocal cadence, the Roberson-esque melodic arrangements, and his personal take on romance that always seemed to toggle between flowery and melancholy. Aside from it being the debut of one of the new millennium's venerated soul artists, The Vault is home to three of what could be called Roberson standards ("Couldn't Hear Me," "Please Don't Leave Me," and "Change for Me").

Customer Reviews

A Multiple-Grammy Winner... in a perfect world, that is.

This album had me with the opening bars of the first track. Very rarely do 15 seconds prompt me to buy an entire album, and even more seldom does such impulsiveness escape the almost-inevitable buyer's remorse. This is honestly a soul-lover's ideal album, turning me into an instant fan. (I know, this reads like a press release, doesn't it?) Listening to this album, it's not hard to see why he's become one of the underground Soul circuit's biggest stars. He's written and produced for everybody from Musiq and Floetry to Lenny Kravitz and Jill Scott, but he's at his best when recording his own material, sharing production duties with underground and mainstream greats like James Poyser, J-Dilla, and Osunlade. If only record sales and award recognition actually depended on, you know, quality, this album would have been the biggest thing of 2004. But hey, what's actual talent worth these days?

A Cut Above the Rest

Dang iTunes, it's about time I see some Erro on here. This is one of the most slept on albums ever released. Period. Just listen to the lyrics alone and they'll take you to another place. Add the music on top and you're floating in heaven. He sings with such passion as if he's reliving the moment he wrote the lyrics. The top three for me would have to be 1, 5. and 8; but trust me the entire album is great. Then after buying this one, go buy the other two albums he has. Finally, please go see this man in concert. Him and his band will rock all night until the cops ask them to leave, like literally. I promise you won't be disappointed!!

He is my new favorite artist

I loved the song Change for me before I knew the name of the artist. I took a trip to chicago and I was at a back yard party and the DJ was pumping this song. So when i returned to Atlanta I searched I Tunes, The only words I knew to the song was "change for me". After finding the song, I purchased the entire cd and loved it. Erro keep up the good work bro. Cant wait to hear you live.
