Check out a compilation of releases from Los Angeles-bred singer/songwriter Eric Bellinger. For the past few weeks, he’s put out new tracks, and here is the compilation, In the Meantime, while fans await his next mixtape, Born II Sing, Vol. III.

Eric had to choose between a scholarship to pursue a football career at the University of Southern California or follow his passion in music. Not long after making the decision to turn down USC, Bellinger joined the R&B group AKNU (A Kind Never Understood) and was soon signed to Epic Records by two of music’s most successful executives, Max Gousse and Tommy Mottola.

After recording and touring with AKNU, Eric returned home to work on new music and discovered another passion, songwriting. To date, his songs have been recorded by UK rapper Chipmunk, Nickelodeon teen phenoms Big Time Rush, Universal Republic star John Brown and Selena Gomez.

For a favorite of ours, Bellinger teamed up with GLEE actress/singer Amber Riley for an original rendition of Janet Jackson’s popular 1998 hit, “I Get So Lonely,” entitled “Never Be Lonely.”
