Blake get ready to release new single & album
Rating: 10/3/2010
Three years ago, four young men with a passion for music, found each other on Facebook and decided to form a classical Boyband. After capturing the imagination of the music industry and public alike, the boys toured the world, performed for royalty, and defined the genre that became classical crossover. Blake-mania had begun.
After capturing the hearts of millions of fans around the world with their unique arrangements of romantic popular music, three years later Blake unveiled their highly anticipated third album, Together, in the UK on October 12th, 2009. It was also nominated for a BRIT ‘Album Of The Year’ award. The Australian release date is April 2, 2010.
Produced by industry veteran, Nick Patrick, who has worked with Katherine Jenkins, Hayley Westenra and Blake’s debut self titled album, the new record is a mixture of classical standards, and new arrangements of popular repertoire of the past forty years, including U2’s ‘With Or Without You’, Paul Simon’s ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, Elvis Costello’s ‘She’, the respectfully haunting ‘Abide With Me’ as well as the Denise Rich track, ‘Unsung Hero’, written specifically for the boys.
It has been a year that has seen Blake triumph at Wimbledon (at the grand opening of the historic new roof, tour the UK with soprano Natasha Marsh and saw the boys take their svelte look and four of the most exceptional voices to the rest of the World. When in Australia in late 2009, their album ‘And So It Goes’ went straight to #1 on the ARIA Classical chart, beating the legendary Ander Rieu. They also performed at The Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing Carnival and the Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Herald Sun billed them as “The Classical Fab Four”. Blake will also launch their assault in America later this year, at a very special gala show in New York.
Beautiful Earth -was written by Blake specifically for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the 2010 Earth Hour. It will be used this year as the Earth Hour & WWF Anthems. It will be released March 19th.
