Well, it seems we finally have some single news to report! Check out this little blurb on Pure Tone Music’s main page:
Next Tuesday, 10/30/07, will be a big day for Blake Lewis fans. More details to follow, but make sure that you visit blakelewiscomingsoon.com and call the number listed to sign up, if you haven’t already! You just may hear Blake’s first single very, very soon…
If you recall, Pure Tone Music is the A&R firm that reps Blake. And this bit of news falls right into line with what Blake told MJ and me at the last concert in Manchester - though he told us October 31st, but close enough. :)
This doesn’t mean that you’re necessarily gonna hear the single on the radio immediately. Jordin’s was released a few weeks before it actually went for adds. But, the song will be out there, and surely will give us an advance taste of what the album is going to be like.
So, sign up at Blake’s official site if you haven’t already, so you can hear the single!
Yeah it’s the one with Sean Kingston! I don’t have any e-mail from you Sarah! Did you send it to my work e-mail? Can you send it to Yahoo instead? Thanks! :)
ah, Sarah, that sucks that you didn’t get to meet Elliot. but did ya talk to the Josh?
yeah i like Natasha’s part, but i cant stand Sean. its an alright song.
oh when will tom get here!
Hey Nikki,
I love your student report and you can’t tell at all that there is any influence from the teacher. Can you imagine the fan base he would have if every female teacher in elementary schools in the USA support Blake shibby Lewis the way you do.
WAY TO GO.
AND YES HE HAS BRONCHITUS. AND YES WE WILL BE HEARING A SINGLE SOON.
and I can tell you it isn’t Whatcha got to lose….have to wait for that one I think.
You are all great fans. Hope he leave LA for the pristeen northwest soon.
What? Is there no spell check on this site?
spell check is for wimps! ;)
All right. Here’s what I know. I wanted to run it by Star and PJ first to see what they said about posting it. :) Some of this we already know. But anyway, I heart Josh Hoge, and he deserves major props for talking to me about Blake at a concert where Josh was the opening act. He didn’t have to, so that was really nice, I thought. :)
Between The Last Goodnight’s set and Elliott’s set, my roommate and I decided to hit the ladies’ room and get our last drink of the night. Well, we come out from the bathroom, and there’s Josh Hoge standing at the bar. Nice! No work at all on our parts. So, we approach him, and I ask him as we’re taking a pic if I can ask him a question and he says sure. So… I lead in with “so I’ve heard that you’ve written some songs that Blake Lewis had recorded…” And off he goes… Here’s the gist of what he said.
He wrote two songs that Blake considered, but he only ended up recording one, and he knows it WILL be on the album, and thinks it might be a single (at first, he said the first single, but then kinda changed the wording of that to “a” single). I asked him what the title was and he said “Know My Name”. He said he originally wrote it with Ryan Tedder, and that he (Josh) was going to record it. But, since Ryan is producing for Blake, somewhere along the way, Blake heard the song and loved it. So Josh gave the okay for Blake to record it (which was a smart move on his part, because if the album takes off, at least he gets cowriting credit and a decent paycheck from it), and the rest is history.
However, here’s a new twist - he said now, the guy from Gym Class Heroes is also getting involved - whether he meant that Blake rerecorded the original version to include a guest performer in that guy, or if there’s gonna be a remix, I dunno. But he said that the guy from Gym Class Heroes is involved in some shape, form, or fashion. I couldn’t quite make heads or tails of which scenario he meant there, and I didn’t think to ask for further clarification, but anyway, there you have it.
As I said… I heart Josh Hoge. Nice guy, GREAT voice, love his songs, and he’s definitely easy on the eyes. ;)
Great work Sarah! I think you need to post that out front!! And pimp Josh Hoge! :)
And wow Mr. Lewis, “What You Got To Lose” isn’t the first single? Woah! I can’t wait to find out what it is! *excited*
Lookie! “Know My Name” on ASCAP!
If you insist, I will happily do it. ;)
Thanks for the info Sarah , it probably means Sam Hollander (the producer of GCH and one of the producers on Blake album) produced the track :)
I can’t wait to find out which one will be the single :)
OK…I have to get up for work in 4 hours…you guys are killing me with the news!
hey Dallas appreciate the heads up about the single! every bit of info comes handy when we are desperately waiting to hear the song haha! i swear Tuesday can’t come fast enough
Thank you Dallas for the info on the single! Too bad it’s not “What you Got To Loose”, but I am sure the single will kick ass regardless.
Poor Blake being sick, I feel for him. He needs to get away from all that LA pollution!
Omg! I am now a lier. I told my bestfriend it was going to be WYGTL. She was so excited because she was originally a Chris Rich fan but then I converted her when I burnt some of Blakes songs for her. Oh well…She loves Blake just as much as we do now Yeah!!!!! I am hoping that “Transmission” will be on the album. That is my fave. song and I can connect with it so well!
Poor B, sick AGAIN!!! I swear it seems like he just got over being sick. Damn colds messin’ with his sexy voice lol! What the hell! j/k I hope he gets some rest to get rid of it! Do I need to send another get well soon card again lol. I sent one last time he was sick.
Thanks Dallas for the update. You are amazing!
Lots of people in CA are going to be fighting that allergenic Bronchitis thing, because of all the smoke and ash in the air. (Laura totally called that one.) I’m just sorry one of the people to get it was Blake!
*sends him OJ and fluidy thoughts, to push out the bad stuff*
Hey BigD– Thanks for the single news. I guess we are all just anxious to get a taste at this point. Hopefully us fangirls won’t be too tough to take in the meantime. ;-)
Re teachers and influencing?– Youngest’s teacher went to the concert, and she was barely conversational about it. Even knowing what big fans we are at our house, she was all demure, sort of palming it off. I thought it was a stinky thing to do–so when Youngest told her teacher later this fall that we MET Blake? Hah! You should have seen her expression! Score one for the kids.
BTW, Youngest is bringing her newly-framed autographed piccie in for Show and Tell this week. She is very, very proud.
*loves B, for putting that smile on daughter’s face*
Hopefully, Blake gets better soon, and gets away from smoky LA. Is it bad that I think he has a cute cough? :/
I can’t wait to hear the new single!
