While many an R&B newbie struggles to prove their commercial worth to the labels they seek to house them, Elijah Blake stands tall as one of few able to produce numbers that speak for themselves.

Numbers, that sing to the tune of over 2 million individual downloads on his debut EP ‘Bijoux 22‘, and an iTunes peak of #12 for his priced single ‘XOX’.

This year, as to bridge the gap between the EP and his debut album ‘Songs About Melody’, the Grammy winning star will release its follow up ‘Bijoux 23‘, forged alongside the genius that is Diplo.

Now peep the envy of many a Urban hotshot in action for ‘Essence’ below!
