introvertstill fighting – erickoscar
The verdict
“erickoscar delivers a gospel-pop single that wraps hope and resilience in a warm, uplifting embrace”
'still fighting' opens with a gentle pulse and builds into something genuinely moving, a track written for a friend battling cancer and carrying all the weight that implies. the arrangement stays warm throughout, layered vocals lifting the chorus into something congregational, a song that belongs in a room full of people holding onto the same thing. lyrically it sits right in the middle of the fight, not at the end, not looking back, and that honesty is what makes it land. there's gospel in the bones of it, pop in the way the melody moves, and a tenderness that never tips into sentimentality. it's a hopeful, heartfelt single.
only a few days after 'mi gente y mi tierra panamá', friend of the blog erickoscar is back from cave springs, united states. he's clearly prolific, and we love the story. his father was a singer who filled his childhood with ballads and love songs, and you can hear that influence in how naturally melody comes to him. a beautiful song.
thank u for making this erickoscar 🕯️
