"Hagen’s “Accuse Me” is a soulful, bluesy ballad that separates the artist from his peers while proving the artist is far from done evolving."

  • Glide Magazine

“The musicality has a hint of something Amy Winehouse to it, that big-band bravado as a backbone for a deeply evocative song of sadness and pain.”

  • Stereo Stickman

“Subtle vocal harmonies provide a gentle support as Eric’s distinct, raspy voice leads us through a blues-kissed narrative that feels at once timeless and strikingly fresh.”

  • Broken 8 Records

“9/10 Revival’ is emotionally challenging and beautiful. Savour this album slowly, first listening to the careful mixture of music and mood, then allowing yourself to be moved by the memories it revives while marvelling at the magic of the man who put it all together.”

"Memories Don't Love You Back carries on where the last album left off with five emotionally charged numbers that are as rewarding as they are challenging. Hagen’s strength lies in his minimalistic approach both lyrically, where the detail is deliberately left sparse encouraging the listener to fill in the blanks, and musically, where the arrangements remain uncluttered and unswerving, all underpinned by a heavy pulse."
