James Blake Bears His "Modern Soul" On A Surprise Single
While the world was furiously refreshing their Twitter timelines and live-streams, hoping that TIDAL would finally work out the kinks of their janky-as-hell The Life Of Pablo album premiere/Yeezy Season 3 spectacle, James Blake snuck a gem out during his BBC Radio 1 residency show. "Modern Soul" is a sweet, cavernous ballad that commences with a crawling piano line and builds until it howls, knocking you back with gale-like force.
No, there's isn't any word on whether a new album is in the works, but we'll be perfectly content with surprise drops from across the pond. Get your The Life Of Pablo chaser in the form of James Blake's new joint, "Modern Soul," below and tune-in to his BBC Radio 1 program to see what else he has in store for the world over the weeks and months ahead. If anything's certain, it's that your boy won't be holding back. And we'll be patiently waiting, sipping on some fine red until then. If you're looking for something to hold you over until then, you can always jump back and hear him gorgeously cover Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds Of Silence."
