6lack Shares New Single “Fatal Attraction” Ahead Of New Album

by

6lack is finally inching toward his next studio album, titled, Since I Have a Lover. We’ve been at the edge of our seats waiting for his next project, especially since it’s been nearly four years since East Atlanta Love Letter. Though his last album emerged shortly after the success of his platinum-certified, Free 6lack, he’s taken his time with this one. With the exception of 6pc Hot EP, he hasn’t released much music. However, he’s coming just in time for the spring.

Over the course of the past few weeks, he’s unloaded a handful of singles in anticipation of Since I Have A Lover. After plastering Billboards across the A with the album’s acronyms, he dropped the titular track. Then, he shared “A Letter To My Fans” and “Talkback.” Though he hasn’t dropped the tracklist yet, the past two singles indicate that he has something incredibly special for us when Since I Have A Lover arrives on March 24th.

6lack Shares A Tragic Love Story On “Fatal Attraction”

This week, 6lack shared his latest record, “Fatal Attraction.” The ATL singer gets into his rap-sing bag on this one as he flows effortlessly over production handled by Dos Dias, Dylan Wiggins, Fwdslxsh, and Khris Reddick. As the soft keys strike, he dives into a tale of love and heartbreak – the end of a honeymoon phase and the highs and lows of any relationship. 

With 6lack’s new album officially due out next Friday, it feels like “Fatal Attraction” could be his final offering before the project’s release. However, we suspect that a tracklist will come shortly. Perhaps, we’ll see him collaborate with a few of his LVRN labelmates. For now, we’ll have “Fatal Attraction” on repeat. Check his new song above and sound off in the comments with your thoughts. Do you think 6lack will have the R&B album of the year with Since I Have A Lover?

Quotable Lyrics
You been through too much, and you don’t need no more
The help I get is gold, C-3PO
It might be fatal, but I’m hooked on it
Gotta write a book on it, lovin’ when you shook on it

6lack Is Walking On Air In His New Video For ‘Since I Have A Lover’

by

6lack is back with the first taste of his hotly anticipated third album, Since I Have A Lover. Today, he has shared the album’s title track. On the tune, the singer is happy in love, and sings about the bubbly feeling he gets around his titular lover.

“Feel like a million bucks or somethin’ / Feel like we need to be up to somethin’ / Not tryna press my luck or nothin’ / Don’t wanna love you just for fun / Soon as I felt your touch / Feet just left the ground,” he sings on the song’s opening verse, describing the happy, loving feeling.

In the song’s accompanying visual, directed by Andrew Donoho, 6lack is seen walking around the city, slowly levitating as the lyrics continue. People around him are also seen levitating, as the celebrate love with their special someones.

“‘Since I Have A Lover,’ the title track, is the highs of having a healthy love, compressed into song format,” 6lack said in a statement. “It’s a note to self, that I’m no longer who I was or where I was, and that there’s a bigger purpose starting to reveal itself in the things I create. We are simply pushing love, because it’s needed. The verses are short and serve as a moment of acknowledgment for how I feel, and the chorus is less of a lyric and more of a feeling. It’s an exhale, it’s relief, it’s trust, it’s happiness, it’s surreal.”

6lack Drops Title Track From Upcoming Album “Since I Have A Lover”

by

The anticipation for a new album from 6lack is high. The Atlanta singer has remained lowkey in the past five years since dropping, East Atlanta Love Letter. His sophomore album showcased his depth as an artist and his growth while paying homage to his hometown. Future, Offset, J. Cole, and Khalid served as the sole guest appearances on the project and it evidently set the standard for his follow-up.

However, 6lack’s reclusive persona extends to his musical output. He isn’t releasing music regularly like many of his contemporaries but he held fans over in recent years with 6pc Hot EP and singles like “Rent Free.” In the past few weeks, the rapper’s geared up for the release of his next studio album. On Valentine’s Day, he began the campaign by getting the infamous Water Boys of Atlanta to sell flowers instead. Then, he teased the title of the project when he unveiled the acronyms S.I.H.A.L.

6lack – Since I Have A Lover

This morning, 6lack confirmed that the acronym for his new album stands for Since I Have A Lover. With a March 24th release date set, he unveiled the titular track of his upcoming effort. His latest song is led by gentle guitar strings and 6lack’s woozy melodies as he details comfort and love. “Since I have a lover, no more lonely nights / The type of love that you supply, can’t televise,” he sings.

“‘Since I Have a Lover,’ the title track, is the highs of having a healthy love, compressed into song format,” 6LACK said of the song in a statement. “It’s a note to self, that I’m no longer who I was or where I was, and that there’s a bigger purpose starting to reveal itself in the things I create. We are simply pushing love, because it’s needed. The verses are short and serve as a moment of acknowledgment for how I feel, and the chorus is less of a lyric and more of a feeling. It’s an exhale, it’s relief, it’s trust, it’s happiness, it’s surreal.” Check out the song above.

Quotable Lyrics
Soon as I felt your touch
Feet just left the ground
I been tweakin’ since the first time around
Second time around, gettin’ on the gown gotta say a vow
