Blake Lewis: Heartbreak On Vinyl

Most people remember Blake Lewis for his “American Idol” run, which included this performance (I don’t care that he messed with Bon Jovi, this was wicked)…

After the show, he didn’t get the same love that some of the other contestants did (the best songwriter, etc. working on his project) but he’s finally released his first post-AI project. It’s what I would call a bonafide guilty pleasure. All of the tracks mix dance music with electronica and pop melodies, resulting in a fun and entertaining album. If he had the same promo machine behind him that other artists have, I’m pretty sure BL would be huge as his songs are made to blow up on the charts. Plus the dude can dance. Listening to this album reminded me that I can’t (although it’ shard to look awesome while dancing sitting down in a desk chair)…

Standout Tracks:
1 (“Heartbreak On Vinyl”)
2 (“Binary Love”)

Skip:
5 (“Rhythm of My Heart”)
9 (“SuperScratchaVocalisticTurnatablelicious”)
10 (“Our Rapture of Love”)
11 (“The Point”)

Kid Ears Alerts:
No bad language but practically the entire album is about hooking up on the dance floor in a manner that would seem to lead to… um… reproduction.

Bottom Line:
For $7.99 I’d pick up the album download and embarrass myself by listening/dancing to this album in my car. Amazon Download Link.
