if James Blake ends up dropping an album with these singles and this kinda vibe, this could be up there for the best of the year. The much warmer and prettier instrumentation that carried over from Assume Form is as beautiful as ever, giving such an atmosphere of calm and love throughout, paralleling the much more positive emotions and mental state James Blake is in right now in an incredibly compelling way. This is the reason why he's one of the UK's greatest talents in the electronic scene.
wow, wow, wow those violins.
The pacing of this is breathtaking.
Is James Blake even real?
James Blake is one of those artists that's impossible to dislike.
I enjoyed the fuck out of "Assume Form", but I appreciate this lush, vivid and evocative return to the sounds of previous James Blake albums. The way James' wonderful vocals mix with this gorgeous instrumentation are pure euphoria.
