Blake98 is an emerging Alt-Hip-hop/Pop artist from New Bern, North Carolina. The 23 year-old singer made his solo professional recording debut in 2020 after years of writing and recording his own original music. In just over a year the prolific songwriter has dropped nine singles and connected with fans around the globe. His new one is his most successful song so far.
“Sunsets and Car Sex” is the latest single from Blake98, released worldwide to all major streaming services on August 13, 2021. The low and slow torch song opens on a mellow finger-picked guitar progression floating on a bed of ambient synths. Soon a laid-back Trap beat drops and Blake98 enters the mix with his unique blend of soulful R&B vocals and freestyle melodic rap. Recalling the early days of a past relationship, he sings the woes and confusion of new love.
I usually use past experiences to help write songs. This track was about an ex and how I felt when we first got together. Basically the anxiety of falling in love with trust issues.
