6LACK has a special treat for fans ahead of the release of his new album, “Since I Have a Lover”. Announcing that he will unleash the project soon, the singer/song shared a music video for its title track.
In the Andrew Donoho-directed visuals, which arrived on Wednesday, March 1, the 30-year-old can be seen gliding through his city of Atlanta before crashing back to the ground. The clip then cuts to a preview of another unheard song.
“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,” he sings in the opening verse. “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.”
Sharing more details about the tune, 6LACK said, ” ‘Since I Have a Lover’ the title track, is the highs of having a healthy love, compressed into song format.” He added, “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 musician, whose real name is Ricardo Valdez Valentine Jr., further explained. “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.”
