The third one. Michael sets out to reach to a new height with his synth and experimental pop filled album. With a new year, fans expect an album from Michael, yet its never the same tone. FREEFALL, like CITIES, represents a promising, hopeful, energized, and of course creative emotion throughout the whole LP. Similarities draw between CITIES and FREEFALL from the Single cover art Michael used, to the one worded album title, to the same tone and energy each album brings. Michael first introduced ... read more

This is the Gods that "new new" from Michael and the start of hopefully a new direction or evolved statement from Michael.

A new era and new soundscape. Much like Michael's 2021 single, Runzer Fur, from the cover art to the beat switch-like structure and sound manipulation, This is the Gods sheds a new opening to Michael's new era of music this year and shows its own energy during its 3-minute and 15-second experience. This sound in an album-like environment is very promising.

Herdís Stefánsdóttir’s amazing talent helps to bring the tone of Y: The Last Man to its center. Stefánsdóttir’s sophisticated arrangement and composition truly bring the show to life with its eerie orchestral soundscapes and its powerful surrounding sound.

Well. It looks like The Influence is back. After releasing their third studio album, Way Out There back in 2017. The Influence had gone completely silent. No social media posts, no interviews, no articles, no public appearances. Typical behavior from them, but with all of the accessibility to the media and the fanbase they have acquired over the years, they still manage to stick to tradition with their devotion to being secret about their public appearance.

Sounds go all the way back to the ... read more

A Secluded House on The Prairie is Michael's first EP. The EP is a short electronic/experimental project created after the Rocket Science recording sessions in the summer of 2019.

A Secluded House on The Prairie develops into environmental experimental sounds and heavily resembles/reflects the English countryside.

A Secluded House on The Prairie was released on October 3rd, 2019.

If we were told that in less than a year after his debut album, The Adventure, Michael Weinblatt would release his second studio album, we wouldn't have believed you. When Michael announced Runzer Fur, the lead single off the album, a whole new direction for creativity was starting to be shown. After the stand-alone song A Dog Named Skip, Michael was quiet about his music for a few months. It was reported that Michael would seriously start recording music in late March and continue making music ... read more

One of my favorite songs of all time. Say has inspired me ever since I first listened to it as a kid. This song will always have relevance in this world and has aged like fine wine. One of John Mayer's biggest single, Say also acts as a theme of his career.

John Mayer is back and I can't appreciate how much I love this album. Mayer always delivers his talent every time he returns to the music and he couldn't have executed his sound in Sob Rock better. One of my favorites of 2021.

Runzer Fur is a bold statement with an entirely new direction of sound. From the beat switches to the vocal sample manipulation and cuts, to the synths in the background and the experimental structure of the song. Runzer Fur is a statement from Michael that he will always evolve his music differently every time he returns. The vocal manipulation in this record is nothing like Michale's previous work on the Rocket Science Mixtapes to the Adventure. More complex construction of vocal samples ... read more

Ony of my favorite UK Hip Hop albums. XL really put a great team together, everything about this album is great with its production, creative writing, and the cover art as well. I'm also glad Man of The Hour made its appearance in Watch Dogs: Legion.

It's here, Way Out There. Five years since their last album, the magnum-opus This is the Life, The Influence comes back with their new album Way Out There. Fans haven't been more anticipated for a release from the group, since Sunsets last summer. The group has reunited with a definitely new direction in sound. Way Out There is their most experimental project for the group, and you thought This is the Life had some experimental tracks. Way Out There was also recorded in a short time, but this ... read more

Four years after their magnum-opus This is the Life, The Influence makes a return that was in the waiting for ages, with their sixth single, Sunsets. Recorded in the summer of 2016, an uprising in hits from pop and especially Hip-Hop/Rap, the Influence join the ride with their new hit. An alternative release, but with pop sounds, Sunsets is a short yet masterpiece with beautiful synth pads to give off the sunset feeling in the summer, and catchy synth leads with beautiful 808s kicks integrated. ... read more

This is the Life, their best release to date. The Influence has shown us that they can dominate the music industry, fit in with pop cultures, change their direction in music themes, and develop as musical artists. The summer of 2012, will show that The Influence is one of the most powerful music groups out there. The summer of 2012 was filled with many hits in the music world, such as Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen, Good Feeling, and Wild Ones by Flo Ride, MGKs uprising in hip-hop, and Frank ... read more

A Party is a party. The Influence return in 2011 with a new single that celebrates life in every which way. A Party is The Influence's "most pop" song today and it is nothing fun, happy, and energetic feelings. A boisterous synth leads to start the song, The Influences doesn't hesitate to tell you that they are in full pop mode. With sounds inspired by LMFAO, Flo Rida, and Pitbull, A Party is a celebratory song of life. Another coincidence; A Part was released the same day ... read more

A year after Live It, The Influence make their moment in 2010 with the release All Night. Shifting from the alternative genre they used since the beginning, the group shifts over to Pop/Dance. In 2010 the world is filled with trendy pop music that has taken over the world, such as the Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and many more, The Influence fit in with the sing All Night. With catchy synths, synth leads, and electric guitar, the music group shifts their whole style. ... read more

Only four months since the release of their new material, Night Life, The Influence return for their third single, Live It. A more acoustic/alternative release, The Influence makes their point that every release is different in its own unique way. With heavy inspiration from the band, Coldplay, Live It is comprised of a nice guitar riff melody, with many more different guitar sounds in the background. An even more relaxed release, than their material before, Live It is a nice song that makes ... read more

Their first single since Sun, Night Life takes listeners on a journey to the big apple.

Night Life is a 9-minute song filled with city sounds, fancy restaurant environments, and a new angle of music production from the group. The single is compiled of two parts, each spamming around 3 minutes long. A very relaxed theme throughout the whole song, yet being ... read more

The Influence’s first studio album. Recorded in only 3 weeks, they compiled a list of several songs during their time together and came up with 13 songs in Seattle. With the idea of creating fun music, they never thought they would end up showing their music to the world. The idea was just to make some fun sounds and not do anything with them. With the help of others, they managed to release a full album and got a hit success. Following their first release, Sun in 2005, they flowed with ... read more

The Influence’s first release as the music group. They were only kids when Sun was made but has given light (literally) to the rest of the group’s foreseeable projects. Released in 2005, their debut release still reaches out to new artists in the music industry and has set in stone the group’s ideology for influencing future artists. The song is an easy listen instrumental, but simple enough to get their point across and lays out what becomes their instrumental projects for ... read more

To start off 2021, Michael sheds light on many different layers of the sound he creates in his new single. The song is a whopping 14 minutes with 3 parts. With dogs barking noises and other vocal samples and raw industrial drums, this song gives a branch of experimental music. The first part of the song is an industrial beat with a dog barking, a riff guitar loop, and some vocal samples comprised. The second part is a vocal sample of a girl moaning with a fast kick loop and synths of the song, ... read more
