As his digital star continues to rise via word of mouth and user-generated uploads of his material, Elijah Blake has confirmed the release of his second EP this week, doing so during his time with That Grape Juice’s/Creative Recreation’s ‘Sole Sessions.’
Details on the project below…
On the project, he revealed:
The EP’s coming this summer. I’m calling it ‘Drift’. I just felt like I had done so much musically I was drifting and the music reflects that, it takes you through what I’m going through. As an artist I’ve grown so much, so I think that’s the most exciting part.
Represented by ‘William Morris Endeavor’, the performer’s new release will precede the arrival of his debut album while touching down almost two years after his first LP did the same.
Named ‘Bijoux 22‘, the free December 2012 release spawned the Common-assisted ‘XOX’ and reached the 15 million streams spun point this week.
This, thanks to plays scored by its official ‘DatPiff’ and ‘YouTube’ players and audio ripped and re-uploaded by fans online, accounting for over half of the spins the project has garnered since it dropped.
However, while the 3 million spins nabbed by fan favourite ‘Vicky’s Secret‘ are nothing short of impressive, getting fans to press pause on ‘SoundCloud‘ and part ways with their cash on iTunes should be the ultimate goal for Blake.
Will he able to do it in time for album #1?

Hopefully it’ll do well, he’s super talented.
So true sis, I wanna see him on stage though but he never tours.
Omg i came to drag him but he’s reallt good!!! Just listened to the song posted. Never cared to him even Sam been crampn him down our throats like a big fat bl-LACK DIICK BABY!!! OMG!!! NOW if ull excuse me im goin toget some lotion and sneak offbto the restroom. (umm, what was the topic again? Chile who cares.. grabs tissue)
‘even tho…’
I didn’t know who he was until yesterday but I’m starting to like his sound a lot. Vendetta is my fave.
15 million? Wow.
He’s so cute! *blushes*
Anyway, I wish him well. If I can get a digital booklet with the EP, I’m buying.
He’s so cocky as if he’s the Neo of music. Dude, you haven’t done or proved anything. 2 years and you’re just now on an EP? Wanna know a writer/singer who’s doing well at both? Sevyn, and even she doesn’t speak in a cocky manner.
I think you misunderstood the quote babe. I think he was talking about the songs he wrote for other people.
Although I bashed Elijah on the other article and dragged his fans & Samantha up in the road side for talking about Mariah Carey’s sales all the time, truth to it I actually think he is talented and “XO” still remains as one of my favorites. Elijah might need to work on building more of a ‘Loyal’ fanbase before releasing a full length album. So this is a good move.
