#NewMusic: Elijah Blake Shines on New Album, ‘The Neon Eon’

In his first full-length album since 2017’s “Audiology,” Elijah Blake releases his album ‘The Neon Eon’ with a slew of features including Trinidad James, Tamar Braxton, Keyshia Cole and more.  

The 10-track project seems to show Blake in a different light, more freeing, from cover art to his “Dreams” music video, to even the lyrics on certain songs. Another example of the freedom could be the number of features he has on the album, something Blake does not normally do.  

In a tweet following the release of Neon Eon, Blake said “growth is a constant process.”  

“Every time I go to a negative thought about something or even someone, there’s a voice in my head that goes “nah… get that energy outta here,” Blake tweeted. “We better than that now.”
