In an incredibly smart move, Blake Lewis appears in 0% of the video. Apparently he realized making people look at him would sell no records. The tune is decent, but it's probably the worst lyrics he's ever written. (Via MJ's Big Blog)
Well, this was obvious. Blake Lewis's comeback CD, Heartbreak on Vinyl, debuted at #135 on the Billboard Hot 100, selling a sad 4000 copies its first week out. Does that even begin to recoup recording costs? His last album, Audio Day Dream, sold over 24 times that amount in its opening week. Wow, that's pretty sad. (Via Rickey.org)
Double fail.
We're not quite getting how Blake's new song is a departure from the exact same things he did on his last album. And a word of advice to Blake: No one wants to see you in your underwear. On a positive note, Casey Carlson looks really good in the video.
