Eric Roberson and Avery*Sunshine team beautifully on “Sweeter Than You”

(February 11, 2026) They are royalty in the independent soul music world who have each won multiple SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards, and now they’re touring together. So what could be a better next step than recording a duet? That’s the present we all received today from singers Eric Roberson and Avery*Sunshine.

“Sweeter Than You” arrives just in time for Valentine’s Day, a sweet midtempo that expresses love for that special person in your life. Written by Roberson, Sunshine and Rodney Jones, “Sweeter” compares that love to the confections that surround us and finds the person-to-person connection to be the best of all.

Erro says, “The song was such a joy to create, especially getting to share this moment with my sister Avery*Sunshine. Working together on this beautiful piece of art, felt natural, honest, and full of love.

The one thing sweeter than the lyrics of the song is the performance of the two artists, delivering a song that has no hidden shade, but is all bright sunshine, right at a time we need it. Check out “Sweeter Than You,” and welcome two of our favorite artists back to SoulTracks.
