On the sixth season of AMERICAN IDOL, Blake Lewis raised eyebrows and adulation when he mixed a thorough knowledge of 1980s and '90s pop with beatboxing techniques and a charismatic presentation. AUDIO DAY DREAM, Blake's full-length debut, aptly captures the singer's eclectic approach, mixing in old-school hip-hop, pretty boy balladeering, back-to-the-'80s new wave rock, and groove-driven, blue-eyed soul. It's an odd and rather scattershot mix that doesn't always cohere, but it will certainly appeal to the legions of fans who adored him on AMERICAN IDOL.
Personnel: Blake Lewis (vocals, keyboards); Lupe Fiasco (rap vocals); Mike Elizondo (guitar, keyboards, programming); Dave Katz (guitar, synthesizer); Ryan Tedder (guitar, programming); Ryan Leyva (guitar); Sean Gould (guitars); T.J. Berry (alto saxophone); Chris Poage (baritone saxophone); Kent Halvorsen (keyboards); Blake Healy (synthesizer); Monte Neuble (talk box, vocoder); Jeremy Lightfoot, Sean Hurley (bass guitar); Kevin Sawka, Aaron Sterling (drums); S*A*M , Alex Greggs, Louis Biancaniello, Sluggo, Wayne Wilkins (programming); Chris Kirkpartrick (background vocals).
So-so Not what I was expecting. Every song seems to sound alike. Album gets boring after awhile. Submitted by hellerkatmar (Watertown,WI,USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Dust collector Ok... So I thought he was gonna blow us away on his first cd! oh well, maybe next time. Technology won out against musicality and what happens is a dull droning...track after track. Sure there are some cool beat box and recording wizard moments...but musically, this one left me bored and disapointed. This was my first Idol contestant music purchase, because Lewis stuck me as technically superior and his choices of music were interesting, I thought he would be able to mix the two and come up with a winner....not exactly so! I am sure sales will do fine based on his Idol fans. Submitted by Jazzin (Plant City, FL, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo

GREAT! I absolutely love this album! I think it is one of the best American idol debut albums (besides Daughtry and Kelly. I loved Blake from the first time I heard him sing and was waiting for the day when he came out with his first CD. I thought that I might be a little disappointed by his CD but boy was I wrong!!
