In an era where artists hype up projects that turn out to be nothing but half-baked playlists, 6LACK’s thoughtful embrace of the album format is refreshing. East Atlanta Love Letter is a moody masterpiece that may very well take the artist’s career to new heights.
With East Atlanta Love Letter, the artist has trumped his opponents and influences with a fragile grace and solid talent for songwriting, echoing that of our most decorated balladeers.
6LACK’s lack of a filter makes everything he writes painfully relatable, like the kind of love letter that you would hope never sees the light of day.
Sonically and thematically, the 48-minute downtempo project is impeccably cohesive.
With his chilly vocals, minimalist beats, and conditions of the heart, the Atlanta singer finds a groove but has little to say about human relations outside of his own self-important quagmire.
Man... Die Lit is such a good fucking album... There's no week that I don't listen to it...
