Since I Have a Lover

by 6LACK

Overview

6LACK made it known with the release of the breezy and uncharacteristically serene "Since I Have a Lover" that his like-titled album would be quite different from the immensely successful East Atlanta Love Letter. Although the singer deals with some tense romantic and personal situations (best heard on the subtly compelling "Rent Free"), and lets loose with a belligerent or domineering couplet now and then, Since I Have a Lover is altogether lighter -- and more emotionally open -- than either of his first two LPs. 6LACK picked up guitar between albums and puts it to immediate use here. His gentle strums add a slightly dusty golden tinge to the title cut and other standouts such as "Inwood Hill Park" and "Wunna Dem," the latter a couples perseverance ballad featuring shadowy background vocals from partner Quin, also heard elsewhere. As a vocalist, 6LACK still often sounds enervated (if always lucid) in a way that rewards only close listening from those who value crooners over belters. ~ Andy Kellman
