Tony Blaize Shows Us That His 'Purpose' Is 'Love'


tony-blaize-Love-and-Purpose

Love & Purpose is the name of the project from Nigerian-born, UK-based newcomer Tony Blaize, and after one play it's clear that it's a name that fits the project perfectly. Featuring the heartfelt and poignant "Roseanne" and the upbeat African rhythms of "These Sides," the powerful two-track mini EP showcases Blaize's honest songwriting style as well as his unique vocals and the intricate layers that make up each track, whether they be the boisterous vocals, syncopated percussion or driving keys. The beauty of Love & Purpose as an introduction to Blaize is its cross-genre appeal, thanks to its balance of soul music through its lyrical honesty and through both songs underlying pop sensibilities. With influences that include Lauryn Hill and Fela Kuti, it's little wonder that Blaize and his brand of "power soul" push through the surface, scratching far deeper than most. If this EP is merely a taste of what's to come from Blaize, then we can't wait for the main course when his full length album is released later this year.
