Louder Than Sound is Blake’s Album Out Now
The opening track, “She’s Inside My Heart,” immediately taps into the spirit of 70s rock, evoking a light, pure sound reminiscent of the Beatles, particularly in its uplifting chorus. It’s the kind of track that instantly takes you back to an era of free-flowing rock.
The good energy continues with “Lighting Up For You,” a track that feels like the perfect companion to a road trip. Its breezy rhythm and infectious melody could easily soundtrack a feel-good moment on the highway, windows down.
“Business Hours” follows, with its catchy melody and toe-tapping beat, bringing more of that classic rock influence, but with a touch that makes you want to get up and move.
“Strawberry Way” offers a more introspective side to Blake’s songwriting, blending elements of psychedelia with a gentle, almost fragile delivery. It’s a song that stands out not just for its beauty but for showcasing the range of Blake’s creativity.
Another highlight is the acoustic ballad “Slippery Slope,” where the artist’s ability to craft something powerful with minimal instrumentation shines through.
The simplicity of the arrangement allows the core of the song to stand tall, proving that a well-written track doesn’t need layers of production to make an impact.
The album closes on a delicate note with “One By One,” featuring a soft guitar arpeggio and a vocal melody that carries a baroque-like quality. It’s almost lullaby-like in its tenderness, providing an emotional and reflective end to an album filled with dynamic moments.
Blake’s strength lies in his ability to balance the energetic and the delicate with equal mastery.

Blake’s musical journey was sparked by a remarkable connection to John Lennon, when his father interviewed the iconic Beatle in 1969. This moment ignited a lifelong passion for The Beatles and music, which became the central focus of his life. Blake began playing in bands during school, eventually forming the psychedelic rock group Karma Truffle. After the band dissolved, he embarked on a solo career under the name Blake, releasing several albums and exploring his love for analog recording.
Throughout his career, Blake has released numerous albums, including the crowd-funded Stay Human in 2012 and the rock opera Star Over Bethlehem in 2013. His work has been featured in films and honored by appearances at renowned festivals, such as the International Pop Overthrow Festival at The Cavern Club.
Blake continues to create, with his latest album Louder Than Sound released in 2024. His dedication to music, from home recordings to analog studio projects, reflects his deep-rooted love for the craft, influenced by the legends who inspired him.
