Nick Black Shares New Single ‘I.R.L’

Memphis-based singer and songwriter Nick Black has just shared his brand new single I.R.L, (standing for In Real Life), a fun piece of pop music with a timely message.

I am really enjoying his smooth and soulful vocals and how they infuse the song with an uplifting feeling and flow effortlessly over the upbeat production. Originally written as a love song when his wife wanted him to put down his phone and live in the moment, the track quickly took a turn during the current pandemic. Rather than being an ode to taking a social media break, I.R.L is an infectious anthem declaring “I want to see you in real life.” This cool message is backed by a polished production that blends intoxicating pop melodies with seductive neo-soul and South American guitar playing. I am also enjoying how the sun-soaked guitars infuse the song with a warm, feel-good atmosphere perfect for the summer. Check it out below!
