Blake McGrath returns with sexy new single “Motion Picture”

Hunky choreographer-turned-singer Blake McGrath is back with a brand new single “Motion Picture”, and before you freak out, let me tell you right off the bat that this ain’t no Laurieann Gibson “Last Chance” type shit.

Blake channels the sounds of Noah “40″ Shebib on the steamy new single, singing over an atmospheric urban groove that plays like a more sexed-up version of Drake.

“We’ll be making love until we burn / I’m a set your body on fire,” Blake coos before switching into falsetto for the hook. “Let’s make a movie / you can be the star.”

I’m a huge fan of Blake’s first album, but I was expecting him to come back with some kind of formulaic dubstep electro anthem. Thank God he skipped that and went for the equally-as-trendy-but-more-credible alt-urban sound that’s really starting to blow up now, because “Motion Picture” is a smash.

“Motion Picture” is available on iTunes now. Blake’s sophomore album, Love Revolution, drops this November.

    Oh this is actually good. I’ve been postponing listening to it cause I thought it would suck, but it’s pretty solid.

    This is like a male version of Janet Jackson’s ‘Discipline’.

    sick production.
    soLid vocal delivery.
    but the Lyrics and his desperate attempts to be some heterosexual Christian are just CHEESY.

    but hey,
    it’s his Life to Live…his own sad, deluded, little life…i wonder if he eats at Chic-fil-a?

  • LoveRevolution

    Hes not trying to be heterosexual… Blake has always admitted to being attracted to men and women. Why would you say he has a sad life? I follow him and he looks happy. I wonder what would make you say such “sad” things? Hope your ok… You wouldnt want someone judging your life would you? I would think you would want people building you up! Spread love. Thats Blake’s message. Love Revolution.

    This was definitely surprising in the best way possible. I remember him saying that he didn’t want to release anymore sexual songs so I was definitely expecting some Chris Brown top 40 type stuff but this is HOT!

  • Notaclevername

    Ugh
    This song is a songwriting monstrosity

  • Djtrina

    it sounds like the weeknd… like his vocals, but the lyrics are ridiculous lol

    It sounds dated but better than his dancing music. He is gay dancer thought and should maybe stick to that first and foremost!!!

  • Jworm

    This song is an instant classic.

  • Notaclevername

    I mean the lyrics are bad and unmemorable, and the melody is weak. I don’t find this song sexy, it’s just another sex song.
    Besides, this guy is nothing new. At least he’s not getting any airplay, so it will be easy to avoid him and this song.

  • Djtrina

    keep watching.

  • Notaclevername

    “Your body I could explode”? I could write a whole paragraph about how that one line is so horrible.

  • Djtrina

    Thats fine write it!!!!! Cuz the lyric is “your body I will explore” Dumb ass.

  • Notaclevername

    Sorry, I don’t know the song well enough that I memorized the lyrics :P
