Thought you might enjoy this interview with Blake:
How would you describe the feel of the album, and the songs that are on the album, to someone who might not be a fan of yours yet?
Easy. Well, if they were born in the ‘80s they’ll get it. I call it my 2080s record. All of my influences are very ’80s derived: Michael Jackson, Prince, U2, The Police, The Cure, Erasure, New Order, Depeche Mode. All of my melodic tendencies are basically ‘80s driven, so the record has this very electro soul funk pop kind of feel to it, where every song transitions or doesn’t transition into the next song. Just like an electronic mix tape or a hip-hop mix tape. Yeah, there you have it. It’s called ADD, Audio Day Dream. Everyone thought I had ADD growing up just because I’m very high energy and focused.
You’ve been making music for a long time now. Do any of the song’s have origins prior to American Idol?
Oh yeah, definitely. The whole concept of the album has been mine for years. I have old sample discs that say “B Shorty, ADD Sampler” from like four years ago. Three, four years ago. So definitely there’s a lot of concepts of songs that I wrote that were in my book and my journals. There’s definitely a lot of stuff on there from the past, and working with these amazing producers that have inspired me for years. I’m very fortunate to make an album that I’m very passionate about.
What was your process for creating the album? Were a lot of songs brought to you? How many are completely original and how many are collaborations?
It’s a very big collaborative record. All of the songs but one were written by me, and co-written. I worked with so many different producers, there’s five different producers on this record, and I couldn’t be more fortunate to work with these amazing, creative people that I’ve been inspired by and that are inspired by me. That’s why they wanted to work with me, so a lot of people called out to my A&R guy to work with me. I did the same thing. I wanted to work with BT, cause I opened with him a long time ago in Seattle, and he actually called out to me because he saw a song that I had written that was up on YouTube with all my loop pedals and vocal effects and all vocal song that I do. We worked on that song, and we wrote another song together for this record that just turned out amazing. Then I might with Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, and the day we met it was like wow, I didn’t know we were best friends. It was crazy, because I found amazing friends through this whole entire project, and amazing musicians and collaborators that I’ll forever work with. continue.
