ERICKOSCAR Makes Love a Daily Choice on the “I Choose Love” Album

ERICKOSCAR’s I Choose Love places personal growth and human connection at the centre of its ten-song statement, asking listeners to treat love as a deliberate practice rather than a passing emotion. Drawing on decades of songwriting, Panamanian roots, and an American life shaped by travel across Latin America, Erick Oscar approaches music as a vehicle for encouragement, reflection, and emotional understanding.

The album’s message is admirable, but its strength depends on how convincingly inspiration becomes personal truth. Oscar wants listeners to grow professionally and emotionally, take the first step toward others, and contribute to a better world. These are worthwhile ambitions, although familiar themes of love and self-improvement need specificity to avoid sounding like general advice. His most compelling idea is that connection requires action, particularly when pride, fear, or unresolved personal struggles make reaching out difficult.

The planned ballad about taking space to work on oneself before fully loving another person adds welcome complexity. It recognises that affection alone cannot resolve every relationship problem. Sometimes, responsibility begins with examining our own behaviour, learning to communicate honestly, and accepting that personal development may require distance before closeness becomes healthy.

Oscar’s creative process also shapes the album’s identity. He writes the lyrics and establishes each song’s rhythm through acoustic guitar before using AI-assisted production software to select vocals and instruments. This transparent approach places songwriting intention at the centre while acknowledging the technology used to realise his ideas. The challenge is ensuring that each arrangement supports the message with enough individuality to distinguish the songs.

With more than thirty years of guitar experience and a catalogue spanning English and Spanish, Oscar brings a broad musical background to this project. "I Choose Love" is strongest as a sincere invitation to practise empathy through everyday decisions. Its message is straightforward, but its emphasis on accountability gives that optimism meaningful purpose.
