For Immediate Release

Son Little and Eric Krasno are Roll Mega Debut Single, “U Shake Me” Is Out Now!

Los Angeles, CA – Son Little, aka Aaron Livingston, and Eric Krasno announce an all-new soul supergroup, Roll Mega. The new project kicks off with their debut single “U Shake Me,” which brings together their sound in a powerful way. A sensual song driven by an up-tempo groove flanked by a spooky, transistor organ sound, “U Shake Me” is out now, everywhere you stream music! Save here.

For years, Aaron Livingston and Eric Krasno were traveling on different roads. As R&B raconteur Son Little, Livingston not only released a handful of impactful albums but produced an EP for Mavis Staples and collaborated with The Roots and RJD2. Krasno, on the other hand, co-founded soul-funk band Soulive and has been an in-demand writer/producer for artists such as 50 Cent, Chaka Khan, Talib Kweli and Justin Timberlake. But when Livingston’s vocals ended up in front of Krasno while he was working on a song for the electronic artist Griz, the guitarist became an instant fan of Livingston. It was only a matter of time until they linked up in the studio.

Livingston recalls, “We didn’t set out to start a band. We were just making stuff we liked.” He says of the duo, “A very open concept: two artists throwing paint at the wall with very little regard for who played what without aiming for a specific result.” He continues, “Out of dozens of eclectic instrumentals, certain pieces seemed to draw out melodies and lyrics that stuck in my head over the weeks and months, and that’s how we ended up with ROLL MEGA.”

Krasno adds, ”I loved working with Aaron. I was already a fan of his voice and songwriting, but once we were in the studio I discovered he was also a great player and producer. We are both massive music fans and love the process of making records. This project grew out of us just having fun in the studio and making music we liked.”

With a fateful trip to the super-market’s paper towel section, they found their name and ROLL MEGA was born. Together both Livingston and Krasno are set on not making anything derivative. Instead, what they have honed is their own – a dusty blues-meets-rock sound that also channeled the guitar tones of Jimi Hendrix. A vision and genius that has shaped the new single into what we crave, only to leave us wanting more.

“U Shake Me” is out now and available everywhere you stream music.
