Blake are Jules, Stephen, Dominic and Ollie, four former choristers who found each other on online networking site Facebook and swiftly bagged themselves a record deal. They've got the well-bred good looks and classically trained voices to deliver the perfect pop-classical package, but the formula is totally anodyne. Backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and produced by Nick Patrick (Hayley Westenra, Russell Watson) this is a slick recording brimming with cliché, from syrupy strings and tinkling cymbals to arpeggiating guitars and an angelic chorus. Their stunning self titled debut album features well-known and well loved classics such as 'Moon River', 'God Only Knows' (The Beach Boys), 'I'll Make Love To You' (performed in Spanish), 'Hallelujah' (Jeff Buckley) and many more.

Summary: Can't get enough!
Comment: Blake, the voices, the harmonies, the choice of songs, all great. I can't find much wrong, except they may not have choosen to sing "Swing Low"..sweet chariot. They are not Gospel singers. What they are 4 young men, with a beautiful blend of voices, and they look "hot". That's a combination you can't beat. I'm hoping to hear more from them, soon!

Summary: Move over Boy Bands- Blake is here!
Comment: If you like the sound of Il Divo or Josh Groban, Blake will blow you away! The four young men's voices blend together beautifully and their choice of songs are a wonderful mix of contemporary, traditional, and classical music. Their vocal and musical arrangements for some of the well known and loved songs on this album are refreshing and inspirational. This album is obviously not the creation of some music executive trying to corner a market, but a testimonial of the band's own creativity and passion for the music.
