THE GEMINI Lyrics & Tracklist – Elijah Blake

Album Overview

THE GEMINI is the upcoming studio album by American R&B/soul singer‑songwriter Elijah Blake, scheduled for release on January 16, 2026 via RKeyTek Music LLC under exclusive license to MNRK Records. The album arrives as a concise but conceptually layered work, featuring nine tracks that reflect the artist’s exploration of emotional duality, relationships, and personal introspection. The title references Blake’s astrological sign and serves as a thematic anchor for the musical and lyrical contrasts that run through the project. The album follows singles released in 2025 and is positioned as the next chapter in Blake’s evolving catalog of soulful contemporary R&B.

Musical Style and Themes

The sound of THE GEMINI blends contemporary R&B and soul with modern production, balancing introspective balladry and rhythmically engaging tracks. Musically, the record showcases Blake’s vocal versatility and songwriting strength, with arrangements that weave between mellow grooves, rich harmonies, and emotionally resonant storytelling. Thematically, the album leans into the concept of duality — personal identity, relational complexities, vulnerability, and resilience — all motifs consistent with the symbolic connotations of the Gemini archetype.
