“Weightless” is a high-energy anthem that captures the blissful feeling of being in love — a state ERIC describes as “weightless,” where all troubles disappear, leaving only joy and fulfillment. The track, both catchy and uplifting, showcases ERIC’s signature style: catchy pop melodies combined with introspective lyrics that resonate deeply with audiences. “The idea for ‘Weightless’ came to me in a flash,” ERIC explains. “It describes that happy, loved-up state where you’re so carefree that everything else fades into the background. It’s a feeling that’s hard to capture in words, but ‘Weightless’ comes closest.” The track was written and produced in ERIC’s home studio in Croatia, with Vanessa Ivanković co-writing the lyrics. The song’s production is crisp and modern, aligning perfectly with today’s global pop trends. The mix was handled by superflipp/Gordan Dragić from Matterhorn Studio in Zagreb, while mastering was completed by Mischa Janisch at Sunshine Mastering in Austria. The accompanying music video for “Weightless,” produced by NEXUS production, is a testament to ERIC’s artistic vision. “I wanted to create something that felt deeply personal and minimalist, so I decided to write the lyrics by hand, which appear throughout the video,” said ERIC. In the video, ERIC also showcases his versatility as a musician, playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass — underscoring his multi-instrumental talent, which has become a hallmark of his work. |

ERIC is no stranger to success. His debut album, “I Am Eric,” released in 2021, reached number one spot on Croatia’s album sales chart and was distributed in the United States through Republic Records. Critics were quick to praise his unique sound, with one reviewer calling the album “a stunning debut that combines romantic ballads and dance hits, polished to the last pop-fantastic detail,” while another hailed ERIC as “a rising star with the potential to break into the European charts.”
Since his debut, ERIC has received two Porin Award nominations — Croatia’s most prestigious music award (Croatian Grammy) — including a nomination for Best Vocal Collaboration for his 2022 hit “Feel You Close” with renowned singer Ivana Kindl. His consistent chart-topping singles and recognition at award shows, such as the ‘Music Pub’ award for Best New Artist from the Croatian national broadcaster, have cemented ERIC as one of Croatia’s most exciting young artists. ERIC’s musical journey began early in life. A classical guitar prodigy, he won multiple national and international competitions as a child before expanding his skill set to include electric guitar, bass, and piano. After gaining nationwide attention on The Voice Croatia in 2019, ERIC signed with Universal Music Croatia, marking the start of his professional career. With “Weightless,” ERIC is ready to take the next step, introducing his music to international audiences. The song is not only a celebration of love but also a testament to ERIC’s growing presence in the music industry — as both a talented artist and a self-produced pop sensation. “I’ve always wanted to make music that connects with people on a personal level,” says ERIC. “With ‘Weightless,’ I hope listeners feel the freedom and joy I experienced when creating it, and that it brings some lightness into their lives.” |
