Lee Clark Allen cuts deep with emotional truth in single ‘Games’

In his new single, “Games,” Lee Clark Allen confesses, confronts, and connects. This emotional storytelling is layered with velvet vocals and unembellished vulnerability. “Games sees Allen getting down and dirty with the raw truths of relationships, the truths we sweep under the rug.

In lyrics that tell of heartbreak and wisdom, he unveils the silent wars fought behind sweet words and the bruises we suffer from the people we thought could not hurt us. It’s like he’s reading from a diary we had all forgotten we wrote.

The song is velvety, driven by Allen’s undeniable voice, which speaks directly to the soul. His sound is rich, but it’s very reserved in tone, and that can draw you in like a soft storm of emotion, where you just have to stop and go. You can feel the ache embedded into each note, the sincerity laced through each line.

And yet, “Games” is achingly wistful. Lee Clark Allen produces an edifying perspective, feeding it like a mirror. In the process, he gives his listeners empathy and a sense of their power. It’s a song that stays long after the sound has faded, like remembering a hard-fought lesson.
