Blake Lewis “Heartbreak on Vinyl” – What Do You Think?
September 5, 2009 by Jeanne
Blake Lewis’ album Heartbreak on Vinyl comes out on October 6, 2009 but the second single (the title track) hit the internet a couple days ago. It’s definitely got an 80s sound mixed with a modern dance vibe and, while I love the American Idol Season 6 runner-up, I don’t particularly like this song and I am borderline obsessed with 80s music.
I don’t know what it is but it just doesn’t sound well mixed and I think the lyrics are actually pretty bad. I think it’s danceable but I’m not sure it’s going to inspire people to rush out and buy the whole album. I also think that Blake is super talented musically, but he is still struggling with the vocals…

I actually really like it! I find the chorus really catchy – I knew it by the end of the song. It definitely has an 80’s vibe to it, but I felt it was kind of an update 80’s sound. Sounded more modern, while still heavily influenced by the 80’s. It sounded much better and much more promising than the song we’ve been hearing “SAd Song”.
Well, I actually dig the song but you’ve got to fix something.
This is not his first single. It’s, as you said the second time, only his title track.
His first single was “Sad Song.” and it was released as a single. This title track wasn’t release for the radio or for itunes or anything, its just a preview.
So yeah. delete the part that says “first single”
You’re right. Apologies for that! I didn’t like “Sad Song” so I think I blocked it out of my mind
Awesome CD! Very danceable. Also great to workout to. I put every song on my Ipod. I didn’t even do that with Lady GaGa… It’s a hit! Go get it!
