Multi-platinum, five-time GRAMMY-nominated artist 6LACK announces his highly anticipated new album Love Is The New Gangsta, arriving May 22 via LVRN and Interscope Records. After a period of reflection and transformation, he returns with his most powerful work yet, launching a deeply personal era. To mark the moment, he unveils the first single “Bird Flu” alongside a companion video that traces a journey where every path leads back to the album’s title.
Rooted in self-exploration, healing, and radical honesty, the project finds the Atlanta artist peeling back layers to examine love, identity, growth, and the quiet battles that shape who we become. It’s a record built on transparency and vulnerability, where each lyric feels like a long-awaited conversation. Here, love becomes the ultimate flex: choosing growth over ego, compassion over pride, and truth over emotional armor.
Sonically, the album expands beyond his alternative R&B foundations, blending soulful melodies, atmospheric textures, and moments of stark minimalism that let his storytelling breathe. The result is a bold evolution that preserves the emotional depth fans cherish.
More than a comeback, this release stands as a checkpoint in a lifelong journey—an invitation to grow, heal, and move forward together. It also follows his acclaimed 2023 project Since I Have A Lover, further cementing his voice and cultural impact worldwide.
