About this user

"Perry has a fragile and unaffected voice stirring like a lonely violin in an empty hall. Listening to his music is like bearing witness to his personal monologue, uttered just above his breath."
Born in Ireland in 1970, Perry Blake released his eponymous debut album in 1998. It was to establish him as a massive cult artist across Europe. Critical reaction in the UK was also rapturous, with magazines like "Q" and "Uncut" shouting his praises from the rooftops. BBC Radio 1's Jo Wiley made his first two releases her singles of the week. Neatly described as one of the world's best-kept secrets, Blake has released six studio albums, a soundtrack to French movie "Presque Rien", and a live album recorded with an orchestra at Cirque Royale in Brussels.
In February 2005 Blake received a gold disc for two songs he co-wrote with Marco Sabiu for French icon Francoise Hardy. The album has also just won a French grammy. In 2002 Blake received the prestigious Fnac award for contribution to culture in Portugal (previously won by P.J. Harvey and Lenny Kravitz). Blake also recently had two songs featured in the movie "Trois Petits Filles", directed by Cannes award winning director, Jean-Loup Hubbert. He has collaborated with French Top 20 artist, Emilie Simon, performing a duet and scoring the choral arrangements.
What the Critics said: "A star is born". Les Inrocuptibles (France). "Album of the year". Rock and Folk (France) "A fine songwriter with a great voice, an excellent album to wallow in". Sunday Times (UK) "Scott Walker meets Bowie to a backdrop of Nyman strings, only better...one of the albums of the year." Stuff Magazine (UK).
