Elijah Blake’s new album The Neon Eon has arrived.
On his first project in three years, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter breaks down genres and celebrates his musical freedom. In addition to the Trinidad James-assisted single “Dreams,†the 10-track set features appearances from Tamar Braxton, D Smoke, and his longtime collaborator Keyshia Cole, who guests on the remix to “Bad Liar.â€
“The Neon Eon represents the death of sub genres and the birth of One Genre that encompasses all sound and culture,†Blake tells Rap-Up. “No longer limited by color, background or gender. It’s the most fun I’ve had on a project ..lyrically, melodically & conceptually!â€
Inspired by Prince, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix, as well as Tupac, Ludacris, and André 3000, the project is a glimpse into his world. “This is my own crazy world that I’ve created in my head and I often go to musically to feel safe. This album is a personal invite for any and everybody that’s down to pull up for the experience!â€
