LENNY HAROLD
BEGINS HIS ‘WARRIOR’ JOURNEY
WITH NEW SINGLE
“CHECK ON ME”
singer, songwriter, and creative director Lenny Harold releases his brand-new single “Check On Me”, the first offering from his upcoming album WARRIOR.
“Check On Me”, produced by Lenny’s long time collaborator A-natural of Natural City Music, and co-written by the pair, details the common yet often unspoken need for equal effort in relationships. Lenny speaks on his experience of showing up for others but too often not having the same presence in return. The classic R&B-based track, which includes lush guitar work by renown guitarist Richie Nobrega, Jr., becomes a paraphrase for the concept of “checking on your strong friend”, as Lenny laments that “the strongest of us still need to be saved.
”The new single arrives in advance of Lenny’s epic album WARRIOR, the second part of his New Testament trilogy which chronicles a ‘quest of the heart ’set to music led by his 2016 EP release Mountain High.
'WARRIOR' album arriving on July 22nd

Baby how you doing how's your day
Lemme pour a drink and lemme fix ya plate
Go on tell me bout it, that's your normal way
I won't interrupt nah, I won't say a thing
I'm so used to hearing every detail of it
Bout what's stressing you and how you so sick of it
But don't worry bout what I been goin through
I'll just hold it in like I always do
If it sounds like I'm complaining
It's probably cuz
I'm always refraining (From telling you)
What's weighing on me
I know I make this look good
But for real you should just
Check on me, check on me (Yeah)
I'm drowning steadily (Oh yeah)
You could pull up on me
Save me from myself
Check on me, check on me (Yeah)
I'm out here getting weak (Oh yeah)
You think I'm strong like I
Don't need no one else (I need)
But I need you (I need)
Yeah I need you (I need)
Yeah I need you (I need, I need, I need)
Cancer tendencies been fuckin' with me
Got me bending over backwards, trampoline
I'm gon do for you, but what you do for me
Give my last to you, what you gon give to me
Out here reading minds like a psychic
Gettin no shine like a sidekick
And I keep it hush, keep it silent
Don't you think I'm really over this shit
If it sounds like I'm complaining
It's probably cuz I'm always refraining (Refrain from telling you)
What's weighing on me
I know I make this look good (So good)
But for real you should just
Check on me, check on me (Yeah)
I'm drowning steadily (Oh yeah)
You could pull up on me
Save me from myself
Check on me, check on me (Yeah)
I'm out here getting weak (Oh yeah)
You think I'm strong like I
Don't need no one else (I need)
But I need you (I need)
Yeah I need you (I need)
Yeah I need you (I need, I need, I need)
Just wanna be seen and I need to be heard
The simplest thing, don't make it absurd
The strongest of us still need to be saved
Look past yourself and just try to see me
Oh
Check on me, Check on me (Yeah)
I'm drowning steadily (Oh yeah)
You couldpull up on me
Save me from myself
Check on me, check on me (Yeah)
I'm out here getting weak (Oh yeah)
You think I'm strong like I
Don't need no one else(I need)
But I need you(I need)
Yeah I need you(I need)
Yeah I need you
Do you hear me baby (I need,I need, I need)
I been going crazy
