Eric Hutchinson is out with the music video to his new single ‘Watching You Watch Him’, off the Washington, DC singer songwriter’s new album ‘Moving Up Living Down’, released Tuesday on Warner Bros. Records.

“Some of it is very close the heart, and some of it is more fictional,” Eric told Daily Nebraskan about the album’s music. “Honestly, I can’t make every song autobiographical because my life is just not that interesting. But I have a lot of people in my life who go through a lot of different things and sometimes it’s interesting to observe from the outside. I tend to put it into first person because I always find it more interesting when it comes from the person. Even if it’s not me, I like the storyteller giving you the angle.”

Check out the album art, track listing, and the ‘Watching You Watch Him’ video below.

Eric Hutchinson 'Watching You Watch Him'

‘Moving Up Living Down’, the new album from Eric Hutchinson, will be released on April 17th on Warner Bros. Records. It’s the follow-up to his debut album ‘Sounds Like This’, which entered Billboard’s Heatseekers chart at No. 1 and contained the RIAA-certified Gold single, ‘Rock & Roll’, which was a No. 1 hit at AAA radio.

‘Watching You Watch Him’, the first single from ‘Moving Up Living Down’, tied with Coldplay for #1 Most Added at AAA this week, and was Most Added at Hot AC. Check out a lyric video for the single via YouTube below.

“The album’s called ‘Moving Up Living Down’ because it’s about the chutes and ladders nature of life,” Hutchinson said. “There’s no end game. It’s about growing pains and I think I’ve grown a lot since the first album. This is the next step. I feel lucky, really lucky.”

Hutchinson will launch an extensive tour in conjunction with the release of the new album. Dates will be announced shortly.

Eric Hutchinson Backstage At ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

Eric Hutchinson offered fans a backstage tour at his visit to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ in Hollywood last month.

“Now is the part they don’t tell you about when you think about doing all the TV shows,” Eric said. “The stars, Shia LeBouf, they show up a half hour before they go on stage. The musicians, we have to be here like seven hours before we go onstage. So we get here, we’re excited, but I always forget they put us in the dressing room, and we just sit here.”
