Blake Lewis - Audio Day Dream CD

On the sixth season of AMERICAN IDOL, Blake Lewis raised eyebrows and adulation when he mixed a thorough knowledge of 1980s and '90s pop with beatboxing techniques and a charismatic presentation. AUDIO DAY DREAM, Blake's full-length debut, aptly captures the singer's eclectic approach, mixing in old-school hip-hop, pretty boy balladeering, back-to-the-'80s new wave rock, and groove-driven, blue-eyed soul. It's an odd and rather scattershot mix that doesn't always cohere, but it will certainly appeal to the legions of fans who adored him on AMERICAN IDOL.
