Is it obsession or is it lust, Hear Blake Rose's Use Me and let us know
Rising Australian artist, Blake Rose returns today with his first musical offering of 2023.
On ‘Use Me’, luminous guitars and keys shuffle towards a handclap-fueled chant. The
the track is the latest to be taken from his forthcoming EP, ‘You’ll Get It When You’re older set is for release via AWAL Recordings on February 24.
Listen to ‘Use Me’ HERE.
“On the surface level, ‘Use Me’ is about being attracted to somebody and lust creeping
into the point where you would let this person do anything to you,” Blake reveals.
“You’re so obsessed you don’t care. However, upon a closer look, one might realize the
song is actually about addiction, resembling the relationship between a drug and its
abuser. The substance is personified.”
‘Use Me’ follows previously released tracks including the hopeful, hazy ballad ‘In Your
Arms’, which Billboard hailed “an affecting piano ballad that showcases his
skill set,” ‘Dizzy’, a playful track filled with his signature wit and nostalgia,
lauded by Variance Magazine as “soaring” and “playful,” the deeply personal
‘Magazine’, featuring some serious throwback vibes and beach-boy-esque
harmonies, all while tackling the serious subject of addiction and ‘Demon’ (WATCH),
praised by Consequence as a “bright and bouncy pop track” that “transforms once the
the first chorus hits, becoming an anthemic and explosive hype track.”

Following multiple high-profile tours supporting the likes of Dean Lewis, girl in red,
Noah Kahan, Ashe, as well as a one-off LA show with American rock band Boys Like
Girls, Blake played two SOLD OUT headline shows in Los Angeles and New York last
Fall. He is next scheduled to hit the stage this Spring, joining UK artist Mimi Webb on
the SOLD-OUT UK leg of her EU/UK tour. For a list of tour dates and to purchase

‘You’ll Get It When You’re Older,’ will serve as the follow-up to Blake’s debut EP, ‘A
World Gone By’ (LISTEN) was released in 2021. Blake’s catalog continues to grow with
each subsequent release, showcasing his adept lyricism and keen ear for a catchy hook
and earworm melodies, evidenced by his impressive listener base, amassing more
than 300 million streams across all releases.
Hailed by V Man as “an artist to watch,” Blake Rose’s sound is anchored in luminous
and lush conjurations, offset by sparse beat-craft, off-kilter plugins, in-the-box wizardry,
and soulful intonation. In just over a year, Blake Rose went from busking in the streets
of Perth to becoming one of the most exciting new artists to emerge in recent years.
He first catapulted into the spotlight with self-penned, self-produced gems such as his
debut ‘Hotel Room,’ and follow-up track, ‘Lost,’ further igniting a buzz.
Hard at work in the studio on new songs, Blake continues to add to his arsenal, further
solidifying his potential as a global force in music.
The new song, ‘Use Me’ is out everywhere now.
The new EP, ‘You’ll Get It When You’re Older’ is out February 24, 2023. Pre-order here
