6LACK PARTNERS WITH ENDEL: THE FUSION OF R&B AND AI-DRIVEN SOUNDSCAPES FOR MENTAL HEALTH

Groundbreaking alternative R&B artist 6LACK, known not only for his compelling music but also his advocacy for mental health, is back in the spotlight. This time, he’s unveiled a powerful album titled “Since I Have A Lover,” which encapsulates the essence of self-love and the journey of healing, especially in an era when mental health is at the forefront of global conversations.

Taking the album to an innovative frontier, 6LACK has joined forces with Endel, the creators of AI-driven soundscapes, to reinterpret his album in two distinct ways.

“This is about letting people experience my music in a new way,” 6LACK stated. “The sounds can be used for rest, relaxation, inspiration, and creativity. It aims to bring a sense of balance in listeners’ lives. The fusion of the album’s melodies with Endel’s scientifically-backed technology easily crafts an ambiance of healing.”

Using its proprietary AI, which is grounded in meticulous neuroscience research, Endel has reshaped “Since I Have A Lover” into two purposeful soundscapes. These have been meticulously designed to aid listeners in sleeping and enhancing focus.

Listeners can delve into the “SIHAL (Endel Sleep Soundscape),” which is available on all major streaming platforms. Ahead of its release, a special live pre-listening session will be hosted on the Endel app on July 6th, where fans can experience the soundscape alongside 6LACK himself. Further adding to the launch celebrations, Endel, in collaboration with Reflections, will organize in-person listening sessions in two iconic cities – Los Angeles and Berlin.

The second soundscape, “SIHAL (Endel Lo-fi Soundscape)”, which is crafted to enhance focus – be it for work, studying, or simply sparking creativity is also available.

6LACK’s unwavering commitment to mental well-being, combined with his emphasis on nurturing healthy relationships and life balance, perfectly complements Endel’s series of collaborations. They have consistently worked with artists who channel their personal experiences to produce restorative sounds for the masses.

Oleg Stavitsky, the CEO of Endel, shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, “Our goal has always been to use AI to morph your favorite tunes into a soundscape that addresses today’s paramount mental health challenges. The success of this endeavor with 6LACK was largely due to his willingness to experiment and his trust in the process. We’re eager for listeners around the world to feel the therapeutic potential of these soundscapes.”

With such a promising collaboration, listeners are indeed in for an aural treat that not only pleases the ears but also soothes the soul.
