Eric 2 by Eric Kamen Eric Kamen : Eric 2.
 Urban flamenco.

Motivated by the global success of his first World Music album "Native Unit", Eric released his second World Music album, Eric 2.0. 'As all artists know, in the wake of a success, you can't (or shouldn't!) simply follow the same equation which lead to the first success. Whether you are Mary J., Beyoncé or Shakira ... you gotta keep moving forward! ... for the sake of your soul as well as your audience.'

'I attempted to really understand what so many people around the world enjoyed about my first album ... and built upon it in my second album Eric 2.0'. It wasn't such a radical departure from the basic notion of merging contemporary beatz with more traditional music from around the world, but feeling emboldened by the success of my first album Native Unit, I took some 'leaps of faith' I doubt I would taken on my first album. For starters - I used a photo of myself for the album cover!

'I also took a lot more liberties in the degree of musical diversification ... by including Asian and Indian tracks.'

'Eric 2.0 too was a successful financial and artistic undertaking, including my highest selling and most often played track - Goin' Down. I am pretty proud of the album!'
