Grammy-nominated hitmaking singer and songwriter, as well as producer, Eric Bellinger, returns today with a vibrantly fresh new single, Understood Remix featuring acclaimed Nigerian superstar, Tiwa Savage. A very vibrant and soulfully irresistible collaboration of two of music’s brightest stars. It is a very heartfelt exploration of love, communication and emotional depth brought to life through very soulfully irresistible smooth captivating vocals and captivating melodies that will have you ready to hit the dance floor with your lover or someone you really adore and love. Which really has me looking forward to what Eric and Tiwa will do on the dance floor when they release what should be a fun and exciting accompanying video for the record that they shot for it.
The track also the lead single from Eric’s upcoming album, It All Makes Sense, an evolution of the sound he explored on his 2024 release, It’ll All Make Sense Later, which featured the original version of Understood. That was recorded in Cape Town with a collective of African artists, producers and songwriters, the 2024 project was what Eric describes as a “faith walk,” and a transformative journey that pushed him to boldly explore new musical territory in a way that feels both authentic and global.
Eric Bellinger having the following to say in a statement about the new record and his longtime desire to work with Tiwa. “I’ve been a fan of Tiwa for years. I first met her through my longtime friend and producer Harmony Samuels, who worked with her before I even started releasing solo music. I always hoped we’d collaborate—and now, over a decade later, it finally happened!”
