With “For Real,” Eric Hirshberg offers the first look at his next studio album More Is Not The Answer, arriving in 2026. The new single features acclaimed vocalist Aloe Blacc, whose effortless delivery grounds the track’s understated production.
The song follows their 2024 collaboration “I Love Not Drinking”, but where that track turned inward, “For Real” looks beyond the self. Built around a simple groove and a melodic vocal stack, the single’s strength lies in restraint.
Accompanied by interview footage documenting its creation, “For Real” gives a window into the duo’s process of organic collaboration, shared ideas, and a commitment to keeping things honest. The result is an unhurried, quietly powerful track that sets the tone for what’s to come.
