Blake Lewis releases ‘Heartbreak on Vinyl’
October 6th, 2009 - 11:52 pm ICT by Aishwarya Bhatt ( 2 comments )Los Angeles, Oct 6 (THAINDIAN NEWS) American Idol season 6 runner up Blake Lewis released his album ‘Heartbreak on Vinyl‘ today.
The album starts off with a very catchy track called ‘Beyond’. And all the tracks in the album are continuously catchy and take you in their groove and beat. The whole album is a long continuous, sequential story rather than having single songs with their unique identity.
The whole album is a groovy mash up of 80’s techno and modern dance beats .it doesn’t have the earlier cheap and cheesy beats of his debut album.
According to the Wikipedia, Lewis auditioned for American Idol in Seattle with “Crazy” by Seal and an off-screen rendition of “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5. Introducing himself as the local beat boxing champion in the audition, Lewis beat boxed along with his teammates, including Chris Sligh, Rudy Cárdenas and Tom Lowe, to “How Deep Is Your Love” by Bee Gees in the Hollywood’s Week.
The memorable performance received a standing ovation from the audience and Paula Abdul, who commented “that brought down the house”. In an early episode of the United Kingdom edition of American Idol, Lewis recalled his first solo performance in the Hollywood’s Week was “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” by The Temptations. When later he sang it in front of the other finalists, Phil Stacey felt that it was the best performance he has seen from Lewis.

“Beyond” is not the first track off Blake’s album. There isn’t even a track called that! The first track is called “Heartbreak On Vinyl” which is also the name of the record! This album is charged with awesome beats,rhythm and Blake’s voice shinning! Every track on the album is amazing! From start to finish Lewis takes us through a beautiful deep journey about record stores closing down, to his personal life about his last relationship. This album represents the amazing artist Blake is!It’s a fun ,catchy record and will have you dancing! Everyone should go out and buy it!
