6LACK is certainly one of the best voices in R&B. Unfortunately, in the eyes of fans, he hasn’t been dropping enough music. Although he did come through with an EP a while back, his last full-length project was East Atlanta Love Letter in 2018. Overall, it has been close to five years since fans have gotten an LP from the artist. Now, however, 6LACK is back with perhaps his most personal project yet. Yes, that is correct. Since I Have A Lover is finally here, and it is most definitely a glorious undertaking at 19 tracks in length.
Over the course of the last few months, 6LACK has been teasing the release of this new album with various singles. The title track “Since I Have A Lover” and “Talkback” have proven to be absolute musts for any R&B playlist. In fact, the former of these two tracks has a unique indie rock feel to it as we get delicate yet shimmery guitars. It’s a nice departure from the brooding and dark R&B tracks that 6LACK came onto the scene with.
6LACK Demonstrates Growth With His New Body Of Work
These unique production choices can be found all throughout the 59-minute runtime. Consequently, this makes for a diverse album that has a little something for everyone. Additionally, it is clear that 6LACK has been doing a lot of growing as an artist. He is currently on a healing journey and is actively trying to be a better partner. These themes are all throughout the project and it makes for a refreshing listen.
Overall, 6LACK has knocked it out of the park with this new project. While day-one fans might need to get used to this new direction, they will most definitely come around.
