Blakey’s new single You! Girl…x is a tight, high-energy club cut

Blakey returns with You! Girl…x, a short, high-impact cut built for peak-time energy.

It points toward the fluorescent end of the UK club spectrum, nodding to that ATB 9pm euphoria and the clipped vocal bounce of Casso’s Prada. It moves fast and doesn’t overstate itself. A looping hook, bright synth punctuation, and a rhythm section that keeps everything lean. It’s the most direct Blakey has sounded in this new phase. Immediate, no fuss, straight to the feeling.

The track follows 5 Reasons, which introduced this more club-facing shift. Where 5 Reasons was shaded in late-night warmth and suspended emotion, You! Girl…x snaps into something more upfront. It feels like someone who knows exactly where they want this to go.

Blakey’s background as a songwriter and vocalist is long established. Over 70 million streams and steady support across streaming, radio and editorial platforms have given him room to move at his own pace. His rise has been shaped by consistency rather than hype. The work has connected on Chill Vibes, The Pop List, Piano Ballads and New Music Daily. Features in Clash, Notion and TMRW have tracked the evolution. BBC Introducing stages and his own sold-out headline at Hackney Social have underlined the live side of it.

What’s happening now is a subtle but definitive pivot toward the electronic spaces that have shaped him privately for years. Blakey talks about the culture as something lived rather than adopted. The friendships, the rooms, the after-hours conversations.
