Close your eyes and take a second to think of a musician who you believe is a once in a generation talent… got one? Maybe you thought of classical composter Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, or maybe Elvis Presley popped into your head. How about the king of folk, Bob Dylan? Or pop legend Michael Jackson? Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, or Kendrick Lamar?
Maybe you thought about Blake Rouse?
Blake Rouse is a twenty-year-old folk singer-songwriter from Fort Collins, Colorado. He draws heavy inspiration from folk legends such as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, creating a unique sounding blend of powerful instrumentals and self-psychoanalytical lyrics. Blake’s music is a true reflection of himself and his insecurities as he dives into adulthood with little to no understanding of how the world works, let alone his own mind.
Work your way through his dense discography, and answer the question for yourself, “Once in a generation talent? Or arrogant musician with an unfathomably long artist bio?”
