//Blake Lewis Performs At The Canal Room, Blogs About Being Dropped//

Blake Lewis performed a lenghty set at the Canal Room in New York last night. Jazzed about his performance and the crowd response, Blake took to his myspace blog to wri..wri..write a little somethin. Like my beatboxing huh? You shut your face! Anyways, in the blog post, he addresses his non-relationship with Arista Records:

Now to the phone call. I planned for Wednesday to be my day to rehearse for tonight’s Canal Room show, cause we were leaving on Thurs. to play Vegas. Ring, ring, ring went the phone. Iain my manager baring the news. Arista isn’t picking up the second option. Meaning, I’m not doin another record with them. I’m totally fine with this… I was just wishing they would have put the word out to me over the last couple months, because lets face it….. Waiting SUCKS!!!! I could have known this 2 months ago, when all of RCA was going through there changes. Oh well. I guess the right time was now. No biggy. I’m still with 19 Recordings and I got a tour and new record on the way.

Now I’ll I need is a home for my music. Some place warm and tropical…. seriously though… Got to be a place where they actually respect my craft and electronic music. Getting RCA to do remixes for my record was like pulling teeth AND I had friends do the mixes for next to nothing. They turned out great and are rising on the Billboard charts. How Many Words is in the top 40. HOLY SHIT!!!! its currently 29. So freaking pumped. People been shakin there booties to some electro Brake.. hehe Thanks to all the DJs playing my song. Lovin you right now!

Oh my Blake! I’m glad this hasn’t got him down. He’s a unique artist. There’s definately a place in this big bad industry for him. Check out his performance of the Maroon 5 smash “She Will Be Loved” from the Canal Room show.
