It was a return to form for Blake and featured the distinct characteristics present in his previous efforts (though "Confidence Boost" had been floating around on the internet for three or four years). This release featured British rapper Trim and the single "Confidence Boost/Saying" was released on 24 September 2012. In 2012, after months of speculation, Blake announced a new collaborative non-single release under the moniker Harmonimix. Įarlier in 2012, Blake spent time with American rapper Kanye West and singer Justin Vernon. There's no point in trying to come up with some other explanation for what I've been writing about.When it happened, I was really struck. īlake admitted to Hot Press in an interview about Overgrown that his relationship affected the album. Many reviewers speculated in the year between releases that Blake was headed in the wrong direction, with Pitchfork's Larry Fitzmaurice saying that "James Blake's reliance on piano-based singer/songwriter electro-soul perhaps played it a bit too safe, prompting comparisons to the once-outré, now-gear spinning career of fellow avant-crooner Jamie Lidell". These EPs, noticeably more structured than his previous releases, featured more R&B tinged work as opposed to the dubstep-influenced electronic sound of CMYK. probably some other things as well.Following both the critical and commercial success of Blake's self-titled debut album, Blake released both the Enough Thunder and Love What Happened Here EPs. I accidentally forgot to vote for The Knife, which would have been top 5 on my list.
