Formed on Facebook and tipped for the top, Blake are the new classical sensation set to take the charts by storm. Ollie, Stephen, Jules and Dom became an overnight phenomenon recently when they formed on social networking site Facebook, and have now made an album that is a beautiful blend of classical favourites and classically styled pop tunes. The foursome, who have had a rapturous reaction from the public, all come from classical backgrounds, and the quality and versatility of their voices shines through on this fourteen track disc. From their stirring reworking of the theme from Gladiator (‘In Paradisum’), to the beautiful ‘God Only Knows’, this is music to touch the soul. Produced by Nick Patrick (who has worked on Russell Watson and Hayley Westenra amongst others), Blake have got a superb and unusual blend of voices that sets them above and apart from the crowd and undeniable star quality.
