Stubborn in its moodiness but unshakably melodic, Chris Blakes new album WAVE spans many genres of popular music—from country and progressive rock to folksy hip hop and 80s/90s pop. Each song retains a familiar feel, adding to the albums overall sense of yearning and powerlessness.
WAVE can be purchased on iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon, and just about anywhere music is sold online.
