Introducing Blake Rose and New Single ‘Gone’
After delivering an exhilarating live set at Los Angeles’ Moroccan Lounge earlier this week, rising Australian singer, songwriter and producer Blake Rose returns today with his smoldering new single, “Gone.” Written and produced entirely by Blake, the song starts out as a delicate ballad, before gradually building added layers of lush production complementing the urgent intensity in his vocals.
Speaking about the new single, Blake reveals, “Gone is a story of someone who is dealing with the grief of losing the love of their life. I wanted to express how powerful love can be and how much it can impact the others’ life once they’re gone,” he explains. “In this story the widowed discovers that under the influence of drugs they can see they’re loved one again almost like they’re still together. This song immerses you in the emotional roller coaster of that experience and paints an idea of what it could feel like to be in that position.” He adds, “though this song isn’t from personal experience, I sometimes think of how in love my Mum and Dad are and wonder what would ever happen If one of them passed away. It’s a scary thought but I took the possibility of that and created this story.”
