Eric Cohen rewrites the magic of hip-hop
The soft piano and 4/4 beat are the canvas that Eric Cohen will use. His lyrics are as emotional as the background, there is a symbiotic tie formed in the opening moments itself. Looking at the sequence as his most vulnerable self, he wipes clean the slate and writes a soft melody. Pay attention to his lyrics, for they overlap with gentle flourishes. Vocals explode into the chorus with a choir that harmonises. Piano drops are like an elixir, creating this spiral that he is viewing like a third person. Eric is at the end of his wits, there is a threshold that is being teased. The composition draws back from aggressive themes that are usually touched by hip-hop. The R&B touch is more than welcome in this exposé, and no one is more honest about the transformation than his own self.

Self professed metalhead, moderately well read. If the music has soul, it's whole to me. The fact that my bio could have ended on a rhyme and doesn't should tell you a lot about my personality.
