Blake McGrath "Time to Move"


There are a lot of celebrities, Sinem and I have had the pleasure of meeting; 
the same can be said for the amount of live performance we 
have seen. That being said, Live.Laugh.Love. recently had the pleasure 
to see Blake McGrath perform some songs off his debut album, 
Time To Move. Blake performed two incredible songs,
his smash-hit 'Stage Fright' and his latest single 'Love Sick'. There
is no denying, the boy can move. In addition, he can sing.
I'll admit, I had a bit of a fan girl moment while he briefly sang
'Stage Fright' - I think it had a lot to do with the fact that he was
staring right at me for that brief moment *sigh... Moving on, Blake's
personality is very playful and calm; and yes ladies, his swagger
gives a very powerful performance with a bit of sex-
appeal.




More importantly. Blake is very dedicated to his fans and took the
time to sign autographs and take pictures, with fans inside and the
people waiting out in the cold outside New.Music.Live. What I loved
about the performance is his carefree attitude and confidence. His
performance truly stole the show, Blake was able to feed off the
energy that was consistently coming from the audience. My only
complaint is that I would have loved to hear more about him in an
interview. Questions I would have loved answered would be: 1. What
were his inspirations with this album? 2. What statement did you want
to make with this album? Lastly, 3. Who would you love to work with in
the future, musically?




Blake's album called Time To Move, is a master-piece of dance and
love. My personal favorite tracks are 'Lullaby' (which is dedicated to
his fans), 'Love Sick', 'Penthouse', and 'Stage Fright'. I won't lie,
I find myself listening to 'Stage Fright' on repeat, wishing and
wanting to be that girl in that video, dancing into the night with
quote on quote “the one”. I highly recommend this album and I give it
5 stars out of 5. I’m excited to hear his next album and you know
Live.Laugh.Love will be at the front of the line to watch him perform.
