Out Now: Tymain Robbins Releases Album ‘Fashionably Late’

Tymain Robbins Releases Album ‘Fashionably Late’

North Carolina emcee and creative Tymain Robbins reveals his newest album ‘Fashionably Late’ September 29th which is a testament and journey for him to showcase not only his story but also his amazing talent in curating music. The main story of my upcoming album revolves around self-discovery and personal growth. Each track is a chapter in this narrative, with themes of overcoming, determination, and finding one’s true purpose. Fans of artists like J. Cole, Nas, and Jay-Z should find solace in Tymain Robbins.

 

“I also watched this Russ interview where he quoted something from John Mayor. He mentioned, “if you wait too long to drop your own songs you’re late to your own party”. That saying really stuck with me,” Tymain said. He continued with, “I’m an artist who has held on to years of music trying to create the perfect project, and it’s caused me to not drop much. The interview made me realize that during this time I’ve forced myself to be late to my accomplishments, celebrations, current fans enjoying new music, and new fans discovering me. So, I decided that if I’m late to my party then I at least need to arrive in fashion.”

 

The overall LP is based on a diverse amount of topics coming from the words of Tymain himself.  The tracks that are the focus on this project are “Fashionably Late,” “Denim Tears,” and “Endless Possibilities.” “Fashionably Late” is about coming back after a hiatus and being better than ever due to the amount of work you put in over the off-season. “Denim Tears” plays on the title of the project, is filled with confidence and this song is about the embodiment of everything in your genes.  “Endless Possibilities” is about overcoming adversity and finding strength within ourselves. It’s one of those, “if I can do it, so can you” records.

His recent Rolls Royce activation event is an example of how he extends his creativity to outside the studio. The Rolls Royce listening event was inspired by the luxurious and sophisticated nature of the album. “I wanted the event to match the grandeur of the music and provide fans with a unique and memorable experience,” he said. “The Rolls Royce symbolizes both success and class, which aligns with the album’s themes of ambition and self-improvement. I really just wanted to do something different that I haven’t seen before.”

6LACK Releases Two New Songs

6LACK Releases Two New Songs
Hot on the heels of an explosive run, the groundbreaking artist 6LACK releases two thrilling new songs today via LVRN/Interscope Records ahead of his first headlining tour in over six years. The exhilarating track “Homicide” sees both 6LACK and singer / songwriter Jessie Reyez coming together after many years of friendship and deep admiration for one another.
Here, the two artists breathe life into the complexities of intense love, infatuation, and the synergy of the two, painting a portrait of a fatal tango between two lovers. The strong, years-long bond between the two artists is almost palpable through the track, as it tastefully bridges their equally compelling vocals together. The stirring track “Mean It” chronicles a moving confessional and showcases 6LACK’s unmatched dexterity through a striking vast sonic terrain that demonstrates why he remains one of the most pivotal artists in music today.
Listen HERE.
 
Additionally, 6LACK will be kicking off his colossal new Since I Have A Lover world tour on October 1st in Portland. The tour will span across North America and Europe with over 40 dates and with support from an array of dynamic artists including Mereba, SPINALL, QUIN, Jordan Ward, and Sadboi throughout the run – full dates below. The trek will serve as 6LACK’s highly anticipated return to the stage after an over 6-year touring hiatus.
The extraordinary run will see the beloved artist bring to life for the first time his critically acclaimed album Since I Have A Lover in what will undeniably be a one-of-a-kind moving moment for attendees. The live shows will expand on the healing journey that 6LACK set out to convey with the project. An intimate one that both sheds light on the highs and lows of his life, and pulls from his firsthand experiences with mental health, recovery, self-improvement, and love.
Pronounced “Black,” the three-time GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum selling artist has brilliantly captured a voice of a generation through his dynamic art for years now. Born and raised in Zone 6 of Atlanta, 6LACK exploded onto the scene with his breakout debut FREE 6LACK album in 2016, cementing his insatiable, singular sound. He was later catapulted into stardom in 2018 with the arrival of his critically acclaimed album, East Atlanta Love Letter, which hit No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
The revered artist has amassed over 7.8 billion global streams across platforms while also giving the world some of the biggest hits from the past decade through explosive collaborations with some of today’s most beloved artists including J. Cole, Future, Selena Gomez, Young Thug, Timbaland, Normani, Isaiah Rashad, Rita Ora, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, Khalid, Jessie Reyez, Nao and many more. Most recently, his colossal collaboration with Lil Tjay on the song “Calling My Phone” earned him a No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and hit No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track has since reached platinum status and was brought to life through a moving performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
