R&B music has seen its fair share of transitioning over the last decade, and the sounds of the smooth, soulful genre have gained some more momentum in beats, melodies, and lyricism. In a present music era where trap and the blues can now come together to create new brilliance, the sweet sultry sounds of Elijah Blake are certainly refreshing. The Def Jam-signed crooner has written some of the biggest hits in R&B to hit the airwaves in the past decade, including, most famously, Usher’s “Climax.”

Elijah is branching out on the solo tip, having just dropped his debut album Shadows & Diamonds, following up to his 2014 EP, Drift. Having started off this year strong with his new album’s hit single “I Just Wanna,” he’s proven his mixture of old school vibes with some modern day lyricism is quite the perfect recipe. Shadows & Diamonds in full continues to show the undercover strengths of Elijah standing alone, with his vocal game matching up to his pen game. Check out the 5 stand-out tracks from Elijah Blake’s debut album on the following pages. –Lindsey India

You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you?
