The brilliance of R&B’s revival in recent years lies in the variety that has come along with it.
For, as Trey Songz and Willie Taylor succeed in peddling the ‘grown and sexy’, the likes of Frank Ocean continue to carve out more personal lanes, breathing life into the genre with messages and melodies that transcend genre for the first time in a long time.
Joining them in taking the genre back to the top comes Elijah Blake, the Grammy winning singer/songwriter whose ways with words has seen him pen cuts for Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Usher, Rihanna and ‘DUI‘ vocalist Ciara.
Now, in shining a light on the genius that caught Jay Z‘s ear no more than two years ago, we’re sharing just two of our favorite songs from the star. One of them, being his Keyshia Cole ‘Wonderland‘ duet and his very own ‘Talk To Me’.
Quality music below…

Yes me too, and I’m liking this new guy too.
This is the first I’ve heard of him.
You must be new here because he’s their new Rita.
And what’s that supposed to mean.

Not As Much As I’m In Love With You My Queen . ( Smile ). Your ‘s Truly Qua.
Redd has come so far, I used to stan for him back in the day.
Who’s Redd?
Beautiful voices 2bh.
I want to like your fave sis but her attitude stinks.
I love love love love his voice. Talk to me is his best song but yall always posting RB.
RB is good but Everything is better.
Just no. He sounds too much like Wknd.
And Rihanna sounds like a goat.
No lie.
Elijah Blake a grammy winning singer/songwriter?
Ciara a vocalist?
Your “interns” stay boycotting the truth Samantha…
He wrote Climax. Climax won a Grammy.
Does Ciara use her voice to record music or does she not?
So that makes her a vocalist?lmao…then everyones’ a vocalist
You’re a hater. Ciara is a vocalist.
I’m gonna let you feed your delusions hun
But Ciara is a singer though.
Elijah Blake is not a grammy winning singer/songwriter and Ciara is not a vocalist…stop sneaking lies into your articles
Climax didn’t win a Grammy?
Erm…grammy winning songwriter is the right word…until he wins a grammy for his singing,then he’s not a grammy winning singer/songwriter which is in itself a career..look it up
True dat.
Has Rihanna ever won a Grammy for song writing?
I’m gonna let you feed your delusions hun..Ciara’s a vocalist
B****, from when you use your VOICE to project a sound you are a vocalist. Whether you’re a good one or not is a different story. People do the same s*** to Brit all the time and I hate it.
My bad…then everyone is a vocalist going by that definition
Dossome must be Elijah’s ex girlfriend kiiii.
Clockedt.
@AQUEENLIKEBEY

So tired of Elijah being shoved down our throats. He’s the male Rita Ora around these parts.
Forever pressed.
