The natural surroundings brought an authenticity to the video, where every touch, breath, and moment connects to the primal forces of nature, reflecting the very essence of love itself.”

Soul Sensation Alain Clark shares a new track, ‘Pressed Out Emotions’

Alain Clark dropped his new glorious single ‘Pressed Out Emotions’ on September 6th via A Sides. Alain, a powerhouse in the music scene for over ten years, first made waves when he signed with Warner Music UK in 2009. His impressive journey has earned him accolades like the Edison Award and the Silver Harp Award, thanks to Triple platinum physical sales in The Netherlands. Additionally, his singles enjoyed top 5 radio airplay in The Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, and Poland.

Alain’s signature sound is drenched in warmth, as well as soul-soothing melodies and rhythms. Hailing from The Netherlands, but now splitting his time between Amsterdam and Los Angeles, Alain’s musical roots run deep. Influenced by the likes of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder as well as Marvin Gaye, he was immersed in music since he was a child and wrote his first song at nine-years-old. Another major influence for Alain was his father’s Soul Cover band, Soulful Blues Quality, where Alain grew up performing alongside them, immersing himself in the soul and blues that now define his sound.

‘Pressed Out Emotions’ is a sonic escape, likened to a breezy Sunday drive. It pulses with a blend of sultry, smooth vocals, infectious grooves, and lush, melodic guitar riffs. Its instrumental backdrop weaves a rich, classic R&B tapestry, enhanced by crisp, contemporary production that lets every element shine with soulful brilliance. Alain’s velvety voice soars above it all, delivering timelessly heartfelt and irresistibly warm performances.

With production and mixing by David Michael Ott (known for his work with A Tribe Called Quest), mastering by Mike Bozzi (who’s collaborated with Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd), and writing credits shared by Alain, David Michael Ott, and Alex Duncan VI, this sensational track is a blend of jazz, R&B and soul.

Alain divulged: “Recording ‘Pressed Out Emotions’ with James Gadson on drums and Pino Palladino on bass was like going to the groove casino with super favourable odds. The track to me feels like an all analog, lowrider cruise down Crenshaw Blvd, car windows down with a golden hour palm tree backdrop.”
