From Tolosa to the World: Dren Zabala’s Rise Through Resilience and Sound
It’s rare to meet an artist whose journey feels like a handwritten letter to everyone who ever dared to dream in silence.
This album marks 6LACK's first full-length release in over five years, a period encompassing personal highs and lows as well as a worldwide pandemic. He now finds himself in a more stable mindset. Reflecting on his musical evolution, 6LACK says, "Free 6LACK was someone emerging from turmoil, heartbreak, and adverse situations, striving to break free. East Atlanta Love Letter saw me coming to terms with my emotions and opening up to new aspects of my life that I had previously shut out." He adds, "Since I Have A Lover is my daily practice."
6LACK acknowledges the music industry's tendency to promote toxicity over other themes and admits, "I think it's much easier to create from that space." However, he aspires to counteract this trend with his album. "Being in a good place inspired me to discuss positive things. I believe the music scene is currently overwhelmed with everything else," he explains. "Toxicity appears to be the punchline of every song, but feeling good is invigorating. I wanted to share that feeling as much as possible. If that's the one thing I can contribute while I'm here, I'll gladly do it."
