Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Eric Roberson returns with “Over You, Under You,” Feat. Najee & Jayshawn Champion the second single from his upcoming 18th studio album, Beautifully All Over The Place, set for worldwide release on July 23rd.
Featuring Najee & Jayshawn Champion, celebrated jazz saxophonist Najee and powerhouse vocalist Jayshawn Champion, the track merges the emotional depth of R&B ballads with the pulse of house music and the soul of jazz. Written and produced by Eric Roberson alongside Rodney Jones (Art of Artez Productions) and Brett “B Dubb” Baker, the track reflects the artist’s signature fusion of genre-bending soundscapes and heartfelt storytelling.
“This is a special song to me. It contains some of my favorite elements in music — tempo, wordplay, collaboration, and funk,” shares Roberson. “Najee and Jayshawn are not only incredible artists but dear friends. We broke the rules and loved every part of it. Lyrically it feels like a ballad, sonically like a jazz record, and rhythmically like a dance track.”
Earlier this year, Eric dropped the album’s infectious lead single “Where You Gonna Go” featuring BJ The Chicago Kid — a neo-soul gem that blends ‘70s soul, Detroit hip-hop, and ¾ gospel undertones. The track, written by Roberson, BJ (Bryan James Sledge), and Rodney Jones, has been praised for its soothing composition and message of emotional resilience.
“It’s inspired by a question I ask myself to help the sunshine even when facing storms,” Roberson says. “The song’s mission is to enhance people’s self-worth and growth.”
Roberson will take both singles on the road with his “Beautifully All Over The Place” tour. For dates and tickets, visit: [Tour Link]
