BLAKE LEWIS ALBUM COMING IN NOVEMBER!!!!!
It's not official official just yet but this is from Wikipedia:
On June 21, 2007, Lewis disclosed in his blog at MySpace that on top of the American Idol tour, he has "been in meetings with producers and writers" for his album, though his record deal has not been announced officially at that time. Lewis has been recording his album in the studio "for all night long" since June 18. As of August 9, he has already recorded eight songs.Lewis described some of the songs he has recorded on July 16, 2007:
“ I try not to be put in a box. I'm inspired by everything. I've got six tracks done. I've got a track that's very Erasure-sounding, a track that's Sting-meets-Neverending Story and a track that's very electro-poppy Depeche Mode. It's all over the map.
He expects to release the record on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving in 2007 and entitle it A.D.D. for "Audio Day Dream".
The singer has stated in several interviews that he wants his future album to have pop, electronic and jazzy hip hop feels to it, as he classified the sound as "electro-funk-soul-pop".He has also listed his ideal choices of producers and collaborators for his album in various interviews, including "Father of Trance" BT, Darkchild, will.i.am, Pro J, DJ Shadow, Dan the Automator and Gnarls Barkley (the musical collaboration between Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo Green). In interviews with Entertainment Weekly magazine and Entertainment Tonight, he mentioned a collaboration with Doug E. Fresh, the hip hop/beatboxing legend Lewis beatboxed with to "The Show" in the Grand Finale of the sixth season of American Idol and received a standing ovation from the judges and the audience, as well as some of his musical influences, such as Maroon 5, 311, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson and Jamiroquai.
In an interview with TV Guide on June 27, 2007, Lewis revealed that Doug E. Fresh "is in talks to beatbox on a song" and that one of his favorite producers, BT, has signed on to produce his debut album. Moreover, he is "going to have four or five people beatbox between tracks”
I don't know about you guys but I am insanely excited about Blake's album. I think it's going to be the sickest freshest album in a looooong time. Like the name for the album too.
