Eric Bellinger has been on an incredible ride with his songwriting placements, having the latest singles from Usher and Justin Bieber out now, Eric can’t wait for the world to hear Chris Brown’s anticipated new song “Fine China.” The record which he co-wrote with Brown, Sevyn Streeter and producer Roccstar is expected to be released on April 1.
Rap-Up TV recently caught up with EB to discuss the song, which he described as, “something that Chris hasn’t done yet.” “He really, really went back to the days of Sam Cooke, but we were still able to keep it 2013 at the same time.”
The first single off Brown’s upcoming album X is a return to the beloved music of the past that is often today’s artists influence, but not heard on today’s radio. “Justin Timberlake really opened the lane for real music and we’re just gonna go running through it,” added Bellinger, whose mixtape ‘Born II Sing, Vol. III‘ drops April 15. “For so long, people have been deprived of that kind of sound.”
The album was heavily inspired by Michael Jackson, whose influence can be heard on the Danja-produced “Add Me In,” which he also penned. “I studied Michael so much and never do I get to really embody that. On this project, they were like, ‘Just do Michael.’”
Being around Chris in the studio made him realize his remarkable talent. “He was born to do this. He’s our new Michael Jackson. They can say whatever they want about him, but no one can knock his talent.”
Why are peeps on acting like JT really brought back real music? If anything Timbaland deserves more credit. JT nibbled off old D’Angelo, Thicke,etc albums and added corny lyrics to it. I hope CB isn’t going to have a song about bubblegum. What works for JT, would get the brothas killed in the press.
Yaya_LTL OMG…Thank You. I thought I was the only one that felt that way.
