The Song:
On June 11th, Steven A. Clark will release his latest album, Fornication Under Consent Of The King. Last month, in announcing the project, the Miami-based singer released the album's lead single, "Don't Have You," and now, with an official music video still forthcoming for that track, Steven A. Clark is excited to release the album's latest single, "Lonely Roller" featuring J. Nics.
Since releasing his first album, STRIPES, in 2011, Steven A. Clark has found his name mentioned amongst the rising crop of new R&B singers – a list that includes names like The Weeknd and Frank Ocean – and for fans just getting into Clark's music, "Lonely Roller," which Steven A. Clark also produced, is a perfect example as to why those comparisons are being made.
"The song is about being fed up with my relationship at home and using the strip club as a stress reliever," explains Steven A. Clark. "Problem is, I end up falling for a stripper." Clark's songwriting is on full display here, as he weaves through the story, singing, "She wasn't the greatest dancer/ But when she spoke to me/ I fell intrigued from what she said."
The song features a strong guest verse from rapper and fellow Miamian J. Nics, while singer Victoria Blue also adds her vocals to the track, embodying the dancer of Clark's desire, tempting him as he helplessly pushes away. "Strippers are more than just great dancers," notes Clark, "the best ones know all the right things to say."

Background:

Clark is a top forerunner in the Future RnB movement, spearheading a confident and new type of indie-rock and hip hop infused rhythm and blues that belies his young age. The Fayetteville, North Carolina native broke onto the scene in 2010 with his soul-baring and darkly arranged eight-song LP debut STRIPES, which earned him the title of “Miami’s best independent album of 2011” by local hip hop site The305.com. Steven is now working on his sophomore album, Fornication Under the Consent of the King, which scheduled for release on June 11 via L & E Media Co.
