Forest Blakk Celebrates 5-Year Anniversary Of "If You Love Her"

About Forest Blakk:

Forest Blakk has spent his career soundtracking love stories of all kinds, amassing over 1.3 billion career streams. His intimate and relatable Every Little Detail EP, featuring his breakout Platinum-certified smash single “If You Love Her” and follow-up Gold-certified single “Fall Into Me” (co-written alongside Matchbox Twenty front man Rob Thomas and Gregg Wattenberg) cemented him as one of PEOPLE Magazine’s “talented emerging artists making their mark on the musical landscape” and an “artist on the rise” by Billboard. Blakk made his debut with his 2018 EP Minutes and follow-up 2020 sophomore EP Sideways – the latter of which saw Blakk collaborate with the likes of Will IDAP (Train, Florida Georgia Line), Nick Long (King Princess), Carl Ryden (Ricky Martin, David Guetta), Ollie Green (Freya Ridings, Gavin James) & more to tell a love story through an incredibly realistic and candid lens. The 6-track collection featured singles “I Wish I Knew” (deemed an “introspective look at love and love lost” by American Songwriter) and uplifting anthem of resilience “Put Your Hands Up,” which debuted on an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. Blakk’s catalog has further become a sonic-staple on Netflix’s Love Is Blind, with him having been named the “patron saint” of the show by creators with the Los Angeles Times pointing out “(Blakk’s) earnest mid-tempo love songs turn up on ‘Love is Blind’ nearly as often as hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey.” 2024 marked the release of his EP Undone (Love & Loss), featuring “The Anchor & The Kite” which clinched 7 awards across various film festivals including Best Animation Film at Cannes World Film Festival, Best Animated Music Video at Rome Music Video Awards, Best Animation and Best Original Score at Rome International Movie Award and more. A compelling live performer, Blakk has toured extensively supporting James Blunt, James Arthur, NEEDTOBREATHE, Gavin James, Dean Lewis & more - in addition to his own sold-out North American headline runs.

About Christina Perri:

Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Christina Perri has earned critical applause and an increasingly fervent fan following since the arrival of her extraordinary, platinum-certified, 2011 debut, lovestrong, which featured the 6x-Platinum certified smash, “Jar of Hearts” and Gold-certified “arms.” Perri followed lovestrong with the worldwide hit single, “A Thousand Years,” exclusively featured on THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 & 2– ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS. The RIAA Diamond certified track was a multi-format radio favorite, and accompanied by an equally popular companion video, now boasting over 2 billion individual views via YouTube alone. HEAD OR HEART, Perri’s acclaimed Gold-certified, second album, arrived in 2014, highlighted by the RIAA 3X Platinum certified single, “Human.” Perri kicked off 2019 with songs for carmella: sing-a-longs and lullabies, a collection of songs the acclaimed singer-songwriter sang to her daughter everyday, released on Carmella’s first birthday. The album includes a charming rendition of “you are my sunshine,” which has been synced in various national campaigns, including Nike Running, and has been certified RIAA Gold. She released the poignant single “Tiny Victories,” a track she wrote for the HBO documentary FOSTER, which made its premiere in Spring 2019. In November of 2021, Christina released songs for rosie in honor of her daughter on what would have been her first birthday. Perri released her third full length album, a lighter shade of blue in 2022, featuring singles “evergone,” and “mothers.” Christina followed up her highly successful lullaby albums with songs for pixie, and songs for christmas in 2023, a mix of curated covers and touching originals. Perri recently adapted “A Thousand Years” into a children’s book in partnership with Penguin Kids, available everywhere now. In addition to many more exciting projects, Christina is currently working on the soundtrack for a yet-to-be titled children’s animation series.
