I'd never heard of the dude except to wonder what the hell was up with his album cover when I drove past ads on bus stops...
Picture me as a dude who never watches tv let alone pop idol... who is an indy electro-jazz-pop fusion artist in a country at the other end of the world... who spends his time ignoring anything that's popular simply cause it is... yeah I'm one of them.
Picture me accidentally running across an interview with Blake on youtube and taking the time to listen to what he has to say for himself - first thing the interviewer says is how terrible it is he came 2nd and he just smiles and says nope he thinks it's great... not saying he'll get through but proud of what he achieved... I'm thinking OK I like that, the dude's positive and keep listening... then he's quoting 80s pop, electronica, hiphop... I'm thinking ok I wanna hear something...
Picture me smacked upside the head. OMG Mr Music Snob this pop idol dude is the real thing. Break Anotha is a tight track with some great layering of analogue and digital instruments and effects - my favourite thing and never easy to achieve.
Keep it up and can't wait till I hear more.
