6LACK Premieres New Single "Switch" Today

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter 6LACK has shared a new song called "Switch." On "Switch", 6LACK expands on the moody R&B/hip-hop hybrid previously heard on "Prblms"- a 2016 release that earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap/Sung Performance. With its hypnotic melody and smooth beats, "Switch" also shows the subtle power of 6LACK's vocals.

6LACK is now at work on the follow-up to FREE 6LACK, his full-length debut. Arriving in fall 2016, FREE 6LACK scored a Grammy Award nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album, with its double-platinum lead single "Prblms" amassing more than 99 million Spotify streams to date.

Last November, 6LACK celebrated the one-year anniversary of FREE 6LACK by delivering three new tracks: "Glock Six", "In Between" ft. BANKS, and "One Way" ft. T-Pain. He also spent much of 2017 on the road, which included supporting Migos in New Zealand and Australia and opening for The Weeknd on his Starboy: Legend of the Fall Tour. In February 2018, 6LACK premiered an atmospheric slow jam named "Cutting Ties".

Born Ricardo Valdez Valentine, 6LACK was raised in Atlanta's Zone 6 and had his first recording experience at his father's studio at the age of four. Inspired by R&B and soul artists like Sade and Usher, he taught himself to sing as a teenager and began writing intensely personal songs that drew from his relationships and experiences with homelessness. Soon after joining Atlanta-based creative collective LoveRenaissance (LVRN), he landed a deal with Interscope Records and set to work on FREE 6LACK. Hailed by Rolling Stone as "a brooding rumination on feeling free that plays like a hip-hop-informed version of The xx's tight and skeletal gloom," the album climbed to #34 on the Billboard 200.
