Soul troubadour Alain Clark is back with his latest single, 'Pressed Out Emotions'.
Known for his triple-platinum success and rich, retro soul sound, Dutch artist Alain Clark continues to deliver velvety, emotion-packed music that resonates with both classic R&B lovers and contemporary audiences alike.
With over 130 million streams to his name, Alain Clark has cemented himself as a mainstay in the modern soul scene, drawing comparisons to legends like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. His latest offering, ‘Pressed Out Emotions’, is a lush, groove-laden track blending smooth, sensual vocals with rhythmic guitar work, produced by David Michael Ott (A Tribe Called Quest, Empire). The soulful track was recorded with musical heavyweights James Gadson on drums and Pino Palladino on bass, creating an effortless, analogue vibe that feels like a golden hour cruise down Crenshaw Blvd.
Alain describes the experience of recording the track as “like going to the groove casino with super favourable odds,” and it’s easy to see why. His vocals soar over the crisp production, melding seamlessly with a timeless instrumental arrangement that brings both warmth and soul to the forefront.
Since being signed to Warner Music UK in 2009, Clark has enjoyed success with hits like ‘Father and Friend’, reaching #2 in the Netherlands and achieving top 5 radio airplay across Europe. His collaborations with icons like Amy Winehouse and Diana Ross have solidified his place in music history, and Pressed Out Emotions is set to only further his legacy. With its modern yet classic feel, ‘Pressed Out Emotions’ is poised to be yet another hit, offering listeners a taste of Alain Clark’s ever-evolving, soul-stirring artistry.
