In April, Billboard gave fans a sneak peak of the track, saying the song has a “feel-good groove.” When asked about the single, Eric said, “‘Sunshine’ is a reflective memory about a relationship that has lost its spark, with a longing for how love-filled and joyous their lives used to be.
The song will hopefully inspire people to actively create and savor the joy and sunshine in every one of their relationships.”Eric will be performing songs from his new album, eric benét, when he hits the road with Anthony Hamilton and Lalah Hathaway this fall. Hamilton’s “What I’m Feelin'” tour kicks off on October 6 in Durham and will span the east coast, and will hit D.C., Baltimore, Detroit, Nashville, New Orleans and more, before wrapping in Richmond on October 30.
