Eric Bellinger Shares a Tour With Two Stars He Wrote For
Pull up Usher’s “Lemme See” and you’ll hear Rick Ross share the record with him. Open the songwriting credits and another name appears: Eric Bellinger. Chris Brown’s “Fine China” puts Bellinger in the writing credits, too. This fall the Los Angeles singer-songwriter has a place on the stadium tour co-headlined by both men, this time performing under his own name.
In an account published November 12, 2026, BMI described a smaller stop Eric Bellinger made while he was in Atlanta for The R&B Tour. On November 4th, its Atlanta office gathered guests to hear his self-titled album and take part in a conversation about it. BMI’s Wardell Malloy facilitated the Q&A. The album had been out since August, giving the room a chance to spend time with a record listeners could already know.
Two Places to Find His Name
Try the two singles back to back. “Lemme See” leaves space between Usher’s sung phrases and Rick Ross’s entrance. On “Fine China,” Brown comes straight in with a question. The voices out front are unmistakably their own. The liner credits tell you something the first few seconds of either recording can’t: Bellinger helped write both. Other writers are credited on each, including the singers themselves.
That makes the Atlanta listening session an interesting reversal. Here was a room assembled to play an entire album bearing Bellinger’s name, with the writer present to speak for his own work. BMI’s photographs show a toast and a conversation in an office, a different setting from the stadium dates that brought him through town.
For a way into his catalog, start with whichever of the two hits you know better, then move to the self-titled record. On the first listen you’re following a familiar singer through a song Bellinger helped shape. On the second you can hear what he chooses to do with his own voice.
