LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- One of music's biggest secret weapons, Elijah Blake, has released his long awaited new album, The Neon Eon today across all digital platforms. The two-time Grammy winning singer/songwriter delivered an electric body of work with rhythmic baselines, smooth falsetto's and lyrics that showcase storytelling at its finest.
Blake comments, "The Neon Eon is the death of sub-genres and the birth of One Genre that encompasses all sound and culture that is no longer limited by color, background or gender. It's the most fun I've had on a project lyrically, melodically and conceptually."
The ten song release includes features from heavy hitters, Keyshia Cole and Tamar Braxton as well as rising artists who are making their mark on music like D Smoke and Rome Flynn, while Trinidad James lends his unique style to lead single, Dreams which is currently climbing on the R&B radio charts.
Caramel Carousel opens and sets the tone - inspired by Prince and David Bowie the electric guitar and melodic verses sonically introduces the concept for the whole album. Blake comments, "This record takes me to the retro 80s aesthetic. Although I'm a 90s baby, I really resonate with how electric that era was." While the Rome Flynn assisted Angles embodies the true essence of R&B, a melodic ballad, and the self-love anthem Dark Skin which features the rapidly rising Inglewood, CA lyricists, D Smoke, Muni Long, and Durand Bernarr that Blake describes as "unapologetically lifting up all shades of chocolate." Blake adds, "D Smoke puts the icing on top with his poetic approach to rap that I'm a huge fan of, I love Durand's subtle but undeniable presence throughout this record, and I felt it very important to have Muni Long on this record, a Black Queen who's perspective is so important."
"This is my own crazy world that I've created in my head and this album is a personal invite for any and everybody that's down to pull up for the experience!" — Elijah Blake
