Eric Vidović (born 16 December 2000), known mononymously as Eric, is a Croatian singer and songwriter.
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]
