Guest ruiagnelo Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 From RA: Details have been revealed for James Blake's first artist album, due out at the beginning of February. Thanks to a slew of well-rated 12-inches on Hessle Audio, Atlas and the Belgian imprint R&S, 2010 was a breakthrough year for Blake. Especially on CMYK and Klavierwerke, he presented a moody, alternative take on bass music that proved to have considerable crossover appeal, earning the "Best New Music" title on Pitchfork as well as glowing reviews on Resident Advisor, FACT and Little White Earbuds. The 22-year-old artist, who cites his first FWD>> party at Plastic People as a primary inspiration, is now at the vanguard of what is often described as post-dubstep, along with artists like Mount Kimbie. Blake's upcoming self-titled album will feature all new tracks, except for "Limit to Your Love," which was released in November as a one-sided 12-inch of the same name. Tracklist 01. Unluck 02. Wilhelms Scream 03. I Never Learnt to Share 04. Lindesfarne I 05. Lindesfarne II 06. Limit to Your Love 07. Give Me My Month 08. To Care (Like You) 09. Why Don't You Call Me 10. I Mind 11. Measurements Atlas and A&M will release James Blake on February 7th, 2010.
KGW Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 No doubt the media will be jacking off over this in a major way. Hopefully it will live up to the expectations. I've no reason to think it won't.

Guest Adam Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 He's pretty good but stil overrated as fuck imho.
Guest ruiagnelo Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 lol it leaked LOL just saw it on what.cd as well. unbelievable
Npoess Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 He's pretty good but stil overrated as fuck imho.
Guest Enter a new display name Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Damn, I knew he would focus too much on singing after releasing his music video... He is going to lose a lot of fans (and possibly gain many more on Pitchfork).
Guest Lucy Faringold Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 I have to say I continue to be baffled by the praise that this guy gets. Air and Lack Thereof was decent but all the earnest RnB vocals on the new album are unbearable to my ears. No accounting for taste I guess... He must be pissed off that it leaked on the day it was officially announced.
Guest Enter a new display name Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 lol does he really sing in the LP? In every track. James Blake is a fucking sellout, man. Just have a listen and feel disappointed.
manmower Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 I'd never even heard of him until I heard the Feist cover last Thursday. Awful, kill it with fire.
Guest ruiagnelo Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 lol does he really sing in the LP? In every track. James Blake is a fucking sellout, man. Just have a listen and feel disappointed. i am scared now. will listen to it anyway
six Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Aw bummer, I adore his EPs but wasn't a fan of Limit To Your Love.
gl0tch Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I have to say I agree with the sentiment here. How is this any different than the horrible last track on Bon Iver's BloodBank ep?
bubbhasdance Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Heard it yesterday, this is pretty horrible, I gotta admit. He must really be up his own butt or is itching for Pitchfork's love.
Guest the anonymous forumite Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Overrated = Yes Single of the Year = Limit to Your Love
Guest KY Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) sweet, so i'm one of the few faggots not scared of singing. james blake's releases up until now have been wonderful, and hasn't lost touch with his production aesthetic on his new, vocal-heavy material. this album will be very well-received, and with good reason. lol does he really sing in the LP? In every track. James Blake is a fucking sellout, man. Just have a listen and feel disappointed. before he even released klavierwerke and saw the praise for the CMYK ep, he talked about going vocal heavy for his next release(s). what the fuck are you talking about? holy shit idm also burial sucks dick, james blake has not only proven his style to be superior, but is willing to take risks that burial wouldn't. the comparison is frankly kind of stupid. (just throwing that out there) Edited December 22, 2010 by KY
