After releasing his debut album Shadows & Diamonds last summer, Elijah Blake returns with a brand new EP titled Blueberry Vapors. The 10-track project was conceived, produced, recorded and mixed in 10 days during November 2015 at United Recording in Los Angeles. It features production from DJ Camper, Ryan Tedder, Cosmos Midnight, Illangelo, DJemba DJemba and much more.
“This project was done over the span of two weeks at No I.D.’s studio on sunset,” Blake told HNHH. “Me and Djemba Djemba were just brainstorming on what music would be like if it went back to pure honesty & feeling. Not overthinking about the ‘radio record,’ the current tempo of other singles, etc. So we did…the coolest thing was watching these creatives who were all respected in their own right leave the ego at the door and collaborate freely in the name of music. They say some of us see music in color so when all was said and done, Blueberry Vapors was the most appropriate title for the mood, tone, color, and texture I feel this project conveys.”
Blake also released an accompanying documentary that further discusses the process of creating Blueberry Vapors.
