I must say, I am quite surprised he has not yet broken out and dominated music charts all over the globe.
For someone that is so gifted and has been around since 2008, Elijah Blake should be the man to beat in the genres of R&B and soul. And with a history so rich in talent having co-written Usher’s “Climax,” which is easily one of Usher’s best songs, it is evident that Elijah Blake has undeniable talent.
Elijah Blake, the singer, is not any different from the song writer. The dose of excellence is equally distributed among his alter egos. It is almost like Bruce Wayne (Batman) having Tony Stark (Iron Man) as his alter ego. The two sides are all incredibly impressive, and when they share the same stage, you ought to prepare for a show of your life. If you looked up his lyrics and read through them before you listen to the songs, I can bet it will be like reading poetry. Now put that poetry on a beat, let Elijah’s vocals do you the honors, and you just might have created music that will stand the taste of
time. The song I think Elijah Blake outdid himself and anyone that will attempt a cover is titled “6”. Just “6”. On this song, he tells a story about being old but still behaving like a 6 year old because of some emotional wrecking experiences his father put him through. The lyrics are so pictorial and vividly written that he literally draws you into the song and you get sucked into the ruefulness of his story. You’d be a monster to not feel the slightest remorse for the child being talked about. The tonal variations as the song gets more intense emphasize the mental anguish this child was going through, and it’s amazing how impossible it is to avoid sympathizing with him. And “6” is not even his best song. One of the most exciting things about good music is having everyone listen to it and together you can discuss how awesome the music is. I would be extremely selfish if I did not tell you that Elijah Blake is the best sound that could happen to your ears this year. And good news for anyone wishing to give their ears a treat, he has a mixtape titled Bijoux 22 and an EP titled Drift, so best believe you have plenty of good new music to update your daily playlist with. He is also working on an album set to be released this year titled Songs About Melody, and I can confidently assure you that this album will be a masterwork.

During the War for American Independence, 78 men were commissioned as general officers into the Continental Army by the Continental Congress. Many of these generals commanded troops with differing levels of competence and success. George Washington is typically seen as most important general, however throughout the war a number of his subordinates were able to distinguish themselves amongst their peers. One such general was Nathanael Greene. At the end of the Revolutionary War, Greene would become Washington’s most important subordinate, as demonstrated by Edward Lengel’s assessment of Greene as “the youngest and most capable of Washington’s generals.” Washington and Greene developed a strong, positive and close relationship between themselves. Greene began his life in the military after having been raised a Quaker. With limited access to literature and knowledge in his younger years, Greene became an avid reader which equipped him with the knowledge necessary to excel as a general during the war. Through his devoted study of military operations, firsthand experience and natural abilities as a soldier, Greene became an excellent military commander. He would become known for his successful southern campaign, during which, he loosened British control of the South and helped lead the war to its climax at Yorktown. Throughout the war, he was involved in a number high profile battles where he built a reputation of being an elite strategist who also understood unconventional warfare, logistics, and the importance of military-civil affairs and had a natural political/social acumen. The thesis of this paper is that Greene’s proven reputation of being a soldier, strategist and statesman would cause him to become the second greates...
Dave Matthews' first solo album, Some Devil, was released in 2003. It was reviewed as an album much different than the many other's the band has released. Very little "jamming" was put into it and the themes in the lyrics were more morbid and serious as ever before. Some Devil is more about giving Matthews a platform to showcase his singer and songwriter side, by releasing serious and straightforward tunes with a slower beat. The album causes many to ask themselves, could there be an outstanding poet lurking behind Americas favorite "frat" boy band?
