Radio Silence // James Blake
Expected to collaborate with both Kanye West and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, James Blake will once again aim to prove his musical intelligence to intertwine varying disciples into a cohesive sound. As a follow-up to his impressive Overgrown, the singer-songwriter and producer will seek to continue his ascent into stardom through technical mastery and electronic wizardry. His sound is something that is easily listenable and transports the listener to their very own world, a world that is encapsulated by the word ‘zen’. It is expected that his latest release will further capture the listening audience, and heighten the sense of ‘zen’ throughout its audience.
The Mercury-Prize winner will be looking to maximise on the exposure gained, and reportedly utilising this album to “dabble in different production techniques”. James Blake as an artist is destined for stardom, and this latest album could catapult him into the hallowed halls of greatness, of which his musical mastery is deserving of. Although a release was apparently scheduled for April this year, the release has been stalled for later on. Overall, the album will be more than worth the wait, showcasing tracks filled with talent and raw emotion – an album that will definitely influence thousands of artists, and music as we know it.
