‘For Real’, the latest single from Eric Hirshberg, featuring Aloe Blacc, opens the door to a new chapter in Hirshberg’s artistry. Serving as the lead track from his upcoming 2026 album ‘More Is Not The Answer’, the song invites listeners to slow down and reconnect in an age of excess.
What began as a conversation about social media’s isolating effects evolved into a meditation on empathy and dialogue. Blacc’s warm, soulful delivery complements Hirshberg’s reflective songwriting, while the sparse production leaves room for the message to breathe.
Critics have lauded the single’s depth, calling it “a powerful and vital statement.” The video’s minimalist studio setting amplifies that sentiment, framing authenticity as the real performance. With ‘For Real’, Hirshberg signals that his next album will be less about volume and more about truth.
