Grammy-nominated artist Eric Bellinger has released a new single, “Understood (Remix),” a collaboration with Nigerian superstar Tiwa Savage. This track blends soulful R&B with Afrobeats, focusing on themes of love, communication, and emotional depth, highlighted by smooth vocals and captivating melodies. Bellinger, who is scheduled to perform at the 2025 Megastar Man of the Year awards, expressed his long-standing admiration for Tiwa Savage, stating, “I’ve been a fan of Tiwa for years. I first met her through my longtime friend and producer Harmony Samuels, who worked with her before I even started releasing solo music. I always hoped we’d collaborate, and now, over a decade later, it finally happened!”

The “Understood (Remix)” serves as the lead single from Bellinger’s upcoming album, “It All Makes Sense,” set to be released on September 26, 2025. This new album is described as an evolution of the sound explored in his 2024 release, “It’ll All Make Sense Later,” which featured the original version of “Understood.” The 2024 project was recorded in Cape Town, South Africa, with a diverse group of African artists, producers, and songwriters. Eric described this experience as a “faith walk” and a transformative journey that encouraged him to explore new musical territories in an authentic and globally resonant manner.

Beyond his new music, Bellinger actively involves his fanbase in the creative process for his albums. For “It All Makes Sense,” he shared short performance clips of several album tracks, inviting fans to vote for the next single. The winning track, “Vogue,” is now the focal point of the #OpenVerseChallenge, where aspiring singers submit their own verses. Selected submissions are showcased on Bellinger’s Instagram, allowing followers to vote and comment on their favorites, fostering community engagement.

In a significant career move, Bellinger recently launched his independent distribution label, All Wins Entertainment. He commented on this venture, saying, “It’s been a long time coming, so much blood, sweat, and tears to get here and we’re still just getting started. There’s been a void in artist development, and I’m dedicating my time and energy to bringing that back. We’re here to build the kind of foundation that made the music industry great in the first place.” To further promote his new single with Tiwa Savage and his latest album, Bellinger is scheduled to embark on a media tour in Nigeria and Ghana in October.
