NOLA's Erica Falls released her long-awaited third
album, "Emotions", on Friday. It was written during the pandemic and reflects Erica's
experience living life as a Black woman during a tumultuous time and
expresses human sentiments and 'Emotions' digging deep into love,
sadness, frustration, fear, grief, marginalization, joy, doubt,
encouragement, and release and is a testament to her determination,
perseverance, and growth as an artist.
Co-produced with her long-time collaborator and member of her backing
band, Vintage Soul, drummer Nick Mercadel and includes bandmates
Donald Ramsey (bass), Chris Adkins (guitar), Jason Hodge (keys) along
with George Porter, Jr. (The Meters) (bass), Grammy-nominated drummer
Jamison Ross, and Cresent City vocalists Coty Hunter, Alayna Mayberry,
and Christen Spencer.
The album is Ms Fall's first since "Homegrown" in 2017 which followed "Me Myself" in 2011. It includes two of her recent singles, the superb "Up" (Jul '23) and her last single, "Good Time" (Jan '24).
An earlier single "Let's Get Down Tonight" (Apr '22) is available to
pre-order on vinyl. which we believe has "One Stop Shop" (Aug '22) on the flipside.
The album's fifteen tracks are interspersed with five short
interludes and strangely, unless it's an upload error on all
platforms, the first two, "Frustration" and "Exasperation", appear to
be identical. It opens with the single "Up" and an earlier single "Let's Get Down Tonight" , and, skipping interludes, continues with a slightly reggae
flavoured "Over It", a soulful ballad "Take Me Away", a more southern soul styled "Pete's Tune" and then the 'creme de la creme' "One Stop Shop" which was released as a single in Aug '22 and also has a remix as the last track.
"Big" is a bluesy funker followed by the more soulful, mid-tempo, "Chocolate Sunshine" and finally the funk dance single "Good Time".
