Three-time Grammy nominated and multi-platinum R&B/Soul artist 6LACK (pronounced “black”)has today announced his return to New Zealand for his Since I Have A Lover tour in 2024. He will be bringing his tour to Auckland’s Powerstation 24th April.
Pronounced "Black", the three-time GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum selling artist 6LACK has brilliantly captured a voice of a generation through his dynamic art for years now. Born and raised in Zone 6 of Atlanta, 6LACK exploded onto the scene with his breakout debut FREE 6LACK album in 2016, cementing his insatiable, singular sound. He was later catapulted into stardom in 2018 with the arrival of his critically acclaimed and certified-gold sophomore album, East Atlanta Love Letter, which hit No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
The revered artist has amassed over 7.8 billion global streams across platforms while also giving the world some of the biggest hits from the past decade through explosive collaborations with some of today’s most beloved artists including J. Cole, Future, Selena Gomez, Young Thug, Timbaland, Normani, Isaiah Rashad, Rita Ora, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, Khalid, Jessie Reyez, Nao and many more. Between 2019-2020, 6LACK was the most featured artist with over 30 features, most notably Normani’s 2019 MTV Music Awards Best R&B Video “Waves.” Most recently, his colossal collaboration with Lil Tjay on the song "Calling My Phone" earned him a No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and hit No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track has since reached platinum status and was brought to life through a moving performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
After nearly five years largely out of the spotlight, the groundbreaking artist has returned with a new project displaying incredible depth and range. His third studio album, Since I Have A Lover, chronicles 6LACK’s journey of hitting bottom and finding his way back to himself through deep healing, grounding and radical self-love. The album arrived to large critical acclaim from The New York Times, NPR, Complex, FADER, Essence, Pitchfork, Hypebeast, VIBE, XXL, Uproxx, Revolt and many others. The release has cemented the artist as one of today’s most essential artists.
