There is nothing worse for a new relationship than dealing with the baggage from a previous one, but what happens when the love for the last was just too strong to overcome? R&B newcomer and Def Jam signee Elijah Blake croons about a Chris Brown-Rihanna worthy relationship of having trouble letting go of love for an ex. Mixing Blake’s soft but emotional vocals with the Yonny & Sleepy piano-driven beat, this soulful R&B track comes across as nothing less than raw. Enlisting the help of fellow Chitown native Common to drop some knowledge on an ex he too cant get over, this single is a dope effort and strong first listen for the new artist. Be sure to check it out below and hear more off his latest free digital LP Bijoux 22, available now.
