Rock to the soulful sounds of this UK musical architect in an instrumental version of his 2013 LP. Eric Lau demonstrates he is one of many but uniquely talented in his ability to bless you with that feel-good head-nod music.
"After hearing a few bars of a particular arrangement, Eric Roberson was inspired to write. The first words uttered: Mr. Officer, can you spare some change? If they say art imitates life. Then Mr. Officer, by Jeff n Fess, feat. Eric Roberson, is art’s response to life. "Some people march, some people protest; we make music," says DJ Jazzy Jeff of the motivation behind releasing Mr. Officer.
Increasing reports of police brutality and deaths of unarmed Black men at the hands of law enforcement led to this musical expression of hurt, anger and frustration. Mr. Officer is produced by The Playlist A-Team, comprised of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Stro Elliot, Daniel Crawford, Steve McKie, Kaidi Tatham and Eric Lau. This ensemble of gifted musicians worked together to create a sound that uncomplicated, yet moving. Lyricists Eric Roberson and Rhymefest shine light this complex and emotional issue with heartfelt simplicity."

Imagine how one of nature's most great effects inspires the minds of an MC and two producers on a thumping single by First Word Records."A New Dawn" features the visuals of Oddisee on the mic who shows how a sunrise provokes the cycle of life against the melodic and soulful beats of Quiet Dawn and Eric Lau. Great music to motivate the beginning of a new day and what accomplishments are in store.
UK producer Eric Lau sets of Fall of 2014 with a couple of soulful grooves featuring the lovely voices of female vocalists Gwen Bunn and Nia Andrews, a joyful soundtrack for the season. "What I Do" shows Eric Lau tapping into the heartbeat of Nia Andrews with an upbeat bounce to tell a story of what people do when caught up in love.
"Without A Doubt" thumps with a Dilla-inspired rhythm as Gwen Bunn draws from the back of her mind to project her visions of love using her soothing vocal tone and storytelling ability. The dreamy arrangement of lead and background vocals which flow smoothly against Lau's guitar groove on "Without" creates an ear-opening union of Soul and Hip Hop while "What I Do" serves as an uptempo dancefloor groove of progressive Soul.
Love Call - EP is the first collaborative project from Eric Lau & Tawiah, released May 12th 2014. This duo represent a new vision of love within the sound of modern Soul as Eric lends and furthers his ability for creating dream-like soundscapes to the soothing vocal tone of Taiwah. Hit play and enjoy the journey of Eric Lau and Taiwah who encourage you to dream on the "Love Call" EP.
