R&B/soul singer Lee Clark Allen pours his heart out in his new single, "I Get Weak." It is a beautiful confluence of openness, impressive vocals, and an emotional narrative. Originally from Little Rock, AR, to Duluth, MN, Allen, whose real name is Patrick Lee Clark, shows his standing as a truly unique figure in the musical world.
"I Get Weak" envelops you like velvet, drawing you into an incredibly personal space. Meanwhile, the track's sleek, contemporary R&B pulses in tribute to the eternal soul influences that have so evidently shaped Allen. It's not just its lavish arrangement or Allen's formidable vocal range that makes the song immediately gripping, but the genuine emotional center that Allen brings to each word he sings.
Delivery is at once tender and majestic here, too. His falsetto soars easily, evoking classic soul crooners, but a modern sensitivity grounds his performance in the now. Staying true to the past while remaining entirely in the moment. "I Get Weak" is about the breakdown of the emotions that come with deep love, changing everything you thought you knew and turning everything on its head.
The musical production is crisp, and it speaks. You can hear notes of gospel warmth, jazzy flourishes, and neo-soul refinement worked into the instrumentation, an elegant mirror of the range of influences that have captivated Allen. It's both cinematic and intimate, an aesthetic likely influenced by his love of film music and world genres.
Lee Clark Allen can translate complex emotions into something you can feel on impact, with or without a single lyric. As so much R&B becomes ever more filtered and polished to a fault, Allen eschews and is instead raw, honest, and remarkably revelatory. "I Get Weak" is an emotional admission wrapped in soul. This is a home run for anyone who has ever felt the exquisite pain of surrender.
