Blake Lewis - Audio Daydream (A.D.D.)

Finally, December 4 is here and here's the new album from, Blake Lewis, the American Idol runner-up.
Much of bubbly Blake Lewis' screen time on "American Idol" was spent struggling to fit the roundedness of his motley mix-tape aesthetic into square songs from mature artists. With the harsh reality of that reality TV competition behind him, this "Idol" second place finisher is now liberated to enchant with his own "Audio Day Dream".
Surprisingly, the beatboxing that made Lewis stand out from the "Idol" crowd is simply splashed throughout the 14 songs and is only predominantly featured on one track, the unremarkable "Bshorty Grabs Mic!" Such a lack of spit might leave some Bshorty fans craving ma-ma-ma-ma-more.

CHECK OUT THIS TRACK:
Besides the joyfully aloof first single "Break Anotha," Lewis uses his best assets — that Robert Smith-silkiness and Freddie Mercury-showmanship — on "Hate 2 Love Her," a catchy tune sure to appease the tweens, grandmas and everyone in-between who simultaneously squealed while voting for him on "Idol."
