Elijah Blake – R&B Singers to Watch in 2013

If you loved Usher's 'Climax' then you're already a fan of Elijah Blake -- the singer who co-penned the chart-topping R&B single last year. The 22-year-old singer is also featured on Rick Ross' 'God Forgives, I Don't' on the Pharrell-produced 'Presidential' and on Game's 'Jesus Piece' album on the track 'Freedom.'

He's penned tracks for Rihanna and Keyshia Cole, and is currently working with Britney Spears. Blake signed to Def Jam and under producer and label head No I.D.'s tutelage. He dropped the 'Bijoux 22' EP last month and is set to release his debut LP next year.
