Blakey Establishes a New Electronic Identity with single ‘Ta Ta Ta’

With over 70 million streams to date, Blakey has built a quietly formidable profile as a songwriter and vocalist. Now, he turns a corner. Ta Ta Ta is his most electronic release to date – a subtle, synth-driven cut with a catchy-as-hell hook that retains the emotional pull of his earlier work while drawing more directly from the UK’s electronic undercurrent.

Leaning into minimal rhythm and soft-focus texture, the track sits between the booth and the bedroom – part club pressure, part late-night introspection. The voice remains central, but it’s more tightly woven into the production now, surrounded by flickering synth lines and sharp percussive edits. There’s clarity, but also restraint – the kind that rewards repeated listens.

The hook on Ta Ta Ta lands with quiet precision – a looping vocal phrase that lodges itself without forcing it. Blakey’s delivery is sharp but unfussy, letting repetition and phrasing do the work. It’s the kind of earworm that sneaks up slowly, all the more effective for its restraint.

“I’ve been wanting to pivot into this world for a while, but had to go about it the right way. I think Ta Ta Ta is the natural segue. Outside of Blakey I live and breath dance music culture – most of my best friends and important people in my life I met through the culture. Blakey, for some reason, always sat outside that – until now.” Blakey

Raised in Hackney, Blakey’s music has always carried a strong sense of place. His melodic instincts are intact here, but now framed by colder tones and more spacious structures. It’s a pivot that makes sense: a producer stepping forward, without losing what made him connect in the first place.

Blakey’s rise has been shaped by both streaming and sync. Alongside 70M+ global streams and multiple Spotify New Music Friday placements (UK, US, and 9 other territories), he’s charted in the Top 50 Viral across seven countries, and featured on key editorial playlists like Chill Vibes, The Pop List, Sad Songs, and Piano Ballads. Apple Music has backed him on New Music Daily, New In Pop, and Breaking Singer-Songwriter, among others.

Radio support has come from across the BBC spectrum – including Radio 1Xtra’s Jamz Supernova, Radio 2’s Dermot O’Leary and Rylan Clark, and Radio 1’s Huw Stephens. On the press side, he’s been covered by Clash, Noisey, Notion, TMRW, and Record of the Day, while tastemaker curators like Mr Revillz and Music Crowns have championed his work online. Live, he’s played BBC Introducing stages and sold out his own headline show at Hackney Social.
