Eric Nam established himself as a global Korean-American K-pop superstar with his debut album “Before We Begin.” Now he is redefining what that means as an independent artist with his sophomore album “There And Back Again.”
As his first independent release and first all-english project, the album explores new sounds and chronicles feeling like an outsider and relationship rollercoasters.
“‘There And Back Again’ is my first album I’m putting out as an independent artist. It’s definitely taken a while to get to this point and to be honest, it was a very tough process, but I’m thrilled with how it turned out and hopefully my fans and listeners will feel the same. I’m looking forward to seeing how people connect with the new sounds and to see fans on the road,” Nam shared of the album produced by frequent collaborator and GRAMMY Award-nominated hitmaker Rabitt.
The 7-track album’s release is accompanied by a video directed by Scott Lazer for the irresistible new single “Lost On Me.”
On January 24, Eric Nam will kick off a 51-date world tour in Phoenix, AZ. 95% of the tour is already sold out, but several venues have been upgraded and more dates are expected to be added throughout 2022.
