REVIEWS
It’s a desperately lonely set of songs that will certainly take time to settle, but there could be no better time to start doing so than the dead of winter.
James Blake is an essential for anybody interested in witnessing how pop music can and will continue to change, progress, and grow into something new with time.
James Blake is an astonishing record, an early contender for album of the year and could well change the face of popular music.
Horgeous, indelible tunes that are as generous in content as they are restrained in delivery.
This album will inevitably disappoint those who had their hopes pinned on Blake producing the definitive instrumental dubstep masterpiece.
It’s every bit as challenging, forward-thinking, and interesting as those previous EPs.
Boldness, you realise, is not the same thing as greatness, and James Blake is not a great album.
