Single Review : Eric Roberson, I Apologize

It seems like just yesterday, Eric Roberson blessed fans with “Things Meant For Me,” but he’s back with another single in the form of “I Apologize.” The creators of “I Apologize” are Eric Roberson, Jairus Mozee, Brett “B Dubb” Baker, and Rodney Jones. Mr. Roberson has shared that the song draws inspiration from a range of musical influences, including the theatrical musicality of Stevie Wonder, the heartfelt wordplay of Commissioned, and the unapologetic low-end approach of A Tribe Called Quest.

 

When it comes to music, Eric is a true talent. He has the ability to cover classic songs flawlessly, and his slow cuts are the perfect remedy for those in a bind with their significant other, walking down the aisle, or on a night of sensuality. Eric’s devoted fans know that he truly shines when it comes to ballads. In his latest slow jam, he takes a soulful approach and crafts a beautiful tribute to his beloved. The result is an elegant and heartfelt ode that is sure to leave listeners swooning.

 

The lyrics include, “I apologize for not finding you sooner, baby / I feel like your kisses were meant for only me, babe,” he sings in the heartfelt chorus. “I been waitin’ for your love.” Roberson beautifully enhances the song’s message with his wise and discerning perspective. As a man discovers his one and only true love, he may realize that each past relationship served as a stepping stone leading him directly to his soulmate. This newfound understanding brings a sense of clarity and purpose to the journey of love and relationships.

 

Roberson continues to be one of the most promising voices in R&B, and I look forward to seeing what else he has in store for 2023.

 

Final Grade: A

“I Apologize” is available on all streaming platforms.

Slow Jam Saturday : Chauncey Black, “Everyday Is Your Birthday”

July 26, 2026

This week’s Slow Jam Saturday pick takes us back to 2008 to show some love to Chauncey Hannibal, a member of Blackstreet, and his solo track “Everyday Is Your Birthday.” Chauncey’s vocals were featured prominently on the group’s first four albums until he began his solo career in 2005. He initially signed with Flipmode Entertainment, and “Everyday Is Your Birthday” was the first single from his project titled “Church Boy,” although the actual album was never released.

Second Listen Sunday: Brooke Valentine, “Chain Letter”

July 26, 2026

As my loyal readers know, one of my passions during my Air Force enlistment was being a DJ. Since I was stationed in the UK, it was sometimes hard to keep up with the music scene, as there was no satellite radio, the club scene rarely showcased new music, and I missed out on shows like 106 & Park. Often, I would buy new CDs based solely on their covers and find a way to incorporate the music into my sets, particularly if the artist caught my attention. One such artist was Brooke Valentine, who is this week’s pick for Second Listen Sunday.

Second Listen Sunday : Akon, Konvicted

July 19, 2026

Since my wife’s favorite solo artist, Ne-Yo, is currently on tour, I decided to show some love to Akon this week for Second Listen Sunday by focusing on his second album, “Konvicted.” I first discovered Akon in the fall of 2004 when I made my DJ debut while stationed in the UK. During my warm-up set, I played “Locked Up,” and one of the bouncers came over, handed me a pound, and said it was about time someone played that song.
