Watch Michael Blume’s New Video For “Colors.”
On July 15, 2016, Michael Blume will release his debut EP ‘WHEN I GET IT RIGHT’ via S-Curve Records. The Harlem-based neo-soul artist first released a song called “Manufactured Love” in 2015 that led to Okayplayer calling him a “powerful new presence in the R&B world” and a #1 on Spotify’s “Alternative R&B” chart. His song “Colors” received over 60,000 spins on Soundcloud when it was posted and Pigeons and Planes said ” “Frank Ocean has inspired his fair share of imitators, but not many deserve the comparison. Michael Blume does, specially on his soaring ‘Colors.'”Michael was a student at Yale majoring in Latin Studies when he decided to become an artist and pursue songwriting. He traveled the world for school and spent time teaching music to children in Brazil when he realized this was his dream. He calls it his “second coming out” when he had to tell his parents that he wanted to be a musician after coming out to them as gay.
