Eric Bellinger Drops New Album ‘It’ll All Make Sense Later’
GRAMMY® Award-winning R&B singer, songwriter, and producer Eric Bellinger has officially dropped his highly anticipated new album It’ll All Make Sense Later—out now via All Wins Ent/FTS Global Management. The album, crafted in Cape Town, South Africa and inspired by Africa’s rich sounds, has a bold fusion of R&B, Afrobeats, and Amapiano. Featuring collaborations with some of Africa’s biggest stars, the project includes Ghanaian R&B/Afro-Fusion singer Gyakie, as well as Nigerian acts: GRAMMY® Award-winner Burna Boy, Reekado Banks, Oxlade, Tempoe and Taves.
Eric opened up about the creative and spiritual journey behind the making of his new album, “I traveled to South Africa to create this album and it was one of my greatest experiences in making music. This album is a form of liberation for me. I see it as a Faith Walk—believing that what God has waiting for me on the other side is far greater than what presents itself in the present moment. It’s given me the confidence to move forward, trusting fully in the vision, knowing It’ll All Make Sense Later,” adding, “I hope this album will inspire my fans.”
Along with the album, Eric has released “Shooting Star”—a new single featuring “Kulosa” hitmaker Oxlade already generating buzz. The track, serenading a lover, blends Afrobeats and R&B with an infectious laid back beat. “We’re both artists that love to experiment and bring our cultures together,” Eric says of working with Oxlade. “This track is also about reaching for the stars and going after what you want—it’s all about triumph.”
The album’s first singles—“Feelings Never Die” and “Special” both tap into Afrobeats, setting the tone for this exciting new era in Eric‘s music. “Feelings Never Die” is a deeply emotional track about heartbreak and resilience, while “Special”, featuring Jamaican artist Konshens, offers a smooth blend of R&B, Dancehall and Afrobeats, adding depth to Eric’s evolving sound. He describes the album as an evolution in his sound, “I let go of what I thought the standard should be for my songs and I let the music lead the way. With the last album being The Rebirth—I leaned into that and trusted the shift in my entire life.”
Eric plans to hit the road on tour in support of It’ll All Make Sense Later next year. His full-scale North American headline tour begins on January 31 in Seattle, WA, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes with a homecoming on March 8 in Los Angeles, CA and final date on March 22 in Honolulu, HI.
