Multi platinum, five time GRAMMY nominated artist 6LACK steps into a new chapter with Love Is The New Gangsta, arriving May 22 via LVRN/Interscope.

After a period of reflection and transformation, he returns with what feels like his most honest and fully realised body of work to date. The first release, “Bird Flu,” offers an early glimpse into the album’s emotional depth and direction.

At its core, the project is rooted in self-exploration, healing, and radical honesty. 6LACK unpacks love, identity, fatherhood, and the internal battles that shape who we become. This is not just about romance, but connection in all its forms, from community to self-love and personal growth.

Sonically, he moves beyond the alternative R&B textures that first defined him, leaning into a broader palette of soulful melodies, atmospheric production, and stripped back moments that give his storytelling space to breathe.

More than a comeback, this album feels like a moment of clarity. A statement that vulnerability is strength and that love, in all its complexity, is the ultimate flex.

Following the success of 2023’s Since I Have A Lover, 6LACK is not just returning. He is inviting listeners to grow with him.
