Lee Clark Allen – My World Is Yours

Lee Clark Allen’s debut album My World Is Yours sounds like the work of someone who’s lived every note. The Duluth-based singer, songwriter, and producer spent six years building the record through personal upheaval, moving between Seattle, Aurora, and Denver studios, recording whenever he could.

Across twenty tracks, Allen blends classic soul and modern R&B without falling into imitation. Alive and Therapy move easily between smooth phrasing and grit, the kind of vocal control that holds attention without showing off. The production stays warm and close, built around live instruments and simple arrangements. Collaborators like Donovan Marcel Blot and Terrence André Bearfield fill in the edges, but Allen’s writing keeps it centered — direct, personal, and unguarded.

You can hear the lineage behind it: Marvin Gaye’s honesty, Nina Simone’s patience, Daniel Caesar’s tone, John Legend’s melodic sense. But this record belongs to Allen. It’s about exhaustion, belief, and getting through the noise of real life. Recorded between teaching, family, and side jobs, My World Is Yours feels like a record made for survival — grounded, soulful, and entirely his own.

For sync, its blend of soul, R&B, and cinematic tone would fit perfectly in reflective film scenes, heartfelt dramas, or character-driven documentaries.
