1st vinyl pressing is a limited edition color matched LP with digital download included. Outlaws and outsiders, road-trippers and lonely rollers; whether it's someone searching or someone who doesn't want to be found, we can't help but be drawn to the drifters. Singer Steven A. Clark is that next stranger to roll in from out of town, a restless artist recasting R&B. He's a straight-talker in a genre filled with wish-fulfillment, whimsy and cliched beats; think the Outlaw Josey Wales raised on N.E.R.D. and 808s & Heartbreak. On his cinematic new album The Lonely Roller, Clark's descriptions of emotions and bad breaks aren't just a set-up. It's personal identification set to song, new additions to a canon looking for fresh blood. Clark's style, refined and road-tested over the years on releases such as the Late EP, goes widescreen. A complete concept, the album flows and ties together, more of a movie and journey than isolated images and experiences. Clark spent last year traveling and reworking songs and stories from his past to show where he's at as an artist. In the studio, he worked with a composer, Sam Hyken, for the first time, allowing him to write string parts and arrangements that fleshed out each track. Different sounds, eras and influences, from Peter Gabriel to Michael Jackson, Tom Petty and yacht rock, floated in and out, but the end result was Clark's own travails and travels set to music.
