Singer-songwriter Forest Blakk is back with a new track to follow up his debut. Blakk has made quite a splash since releasing “Love Me” only one month ago. “Love Me” has surpassed 300,000 views on YouTube and is inching over 300,000 spins on Spotify. Additionally, Amazon made him their Weekly One artist, generating over 500k plays in one week alone. It’s no surprise that Blakk is bringing fans something refreshing to the table to garner their interest, a new genre he dubs ‘urban folk’ – a mixture between the tranquility of folk music found in the countryside and the explosiveness of a city that never sleeps.

“Where I First Found You” dropped this past Friday and is quickly following suit. The track has over 20,000 spins on Spotify and was featured on their New Music FridayGlobal chart. By the way, if you listen closely, you’ll also hear UK superstar Gavin James on background vocals.

Forest Blakk said of the track: “‘Where I First Found You’ was my heart’s attempt to answer one of love’s greatest questions. Does there exist a love so deep, so passionate that it ceases to follow the rules of time itself? If that love does exist and we found ourselves at its center, would we too find ourselves free of the seconds that bind us? If this life were to end this very minute and the light of our love was to fade like a star, will we have loved with such conviction that in our next life we could once again find each other? I may not have an answer, but I hope ‘Where I First Found You’ serves as a lighthouse for all of our wandering hearts."
