Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox musical artist Eric Vidović (born 16 December 2000), known mononymously as Eric, is a Croatian singer and songwriter.
Career
Starting 13 December 2019, Eric Vidović appeared as a contestant on the third season of the reality talent show The Voice Hrvatska.[1] On the first show, Vidović sang Hozier's song "Take Me to Church".[2] Out of four judges Massimo Savić turned around.[3] As Savić was the only judge to turn around, Vidović was automatically allocated into his team.[4] On 11 January 2020 during the Knockout Stage Vidović sang "I'm Not the Only One" by Sam Smith and failed to advance to the Battle Round.[5]
In early 2020, Vidović signed a record deal with Universal Music Croatia.[6] On 13 November 2020 his debut single, "Najljepši dar (Božićna)", was released.[7] In December 2020, Vidović was announced as one of the 14 finalists for Dora 2021, the national contest in Croatia to select the country's Eurovision Song Contest 2021 entry.[8] He performed the song "Reci mi" and placed tenth with a total of 45 points.[9] His debut studio album I Am Eric was released on 18 June 2021,[10] and is distributed in USA via Republic Records.[11] For his debut album he got positive critics from Croatian media saying “From romantic ballads to dance treats - this album has it all. Polished to the last pop fantastic detail”,[12] "For the first time, Eric wrote not only a very good 'letter of intent', but also delivered a top pop product to the audience, which can easily be added to European rankings. The devil will know, maybe we just got Mate Rimac in the pop category",[13] “The album abounds with potential hits that would likely occupy very high positions on numerous top charts around the world if it manages to somehow reach a global audience."[14]
On 17 December 2021, Vidović was announced as one of the acts to perform at Dora 2022 with the song "I Found You".[15] Speaking about the meaning of the song, Vidović mentioned that the song is about a girl who doesn't remember who you are, but approaches the subject with a positive spin.[16]
