6LACK ON "SINCE I HAVE A LOVER":
"'Since I Have A Lover', the title track, is the highs of having a healthy love, compressed into song format. 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 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."
