67. JAMES BLAKE - THE COLOUR IN ANYTHING (2016)Tonight is James Blake night once more; autumnal and wet. Perfect. For anyone new to this man, it's not James Blunt or James Joyce or Blake Yeager (a 2 year old youtube star - wtf.) If you ever feel like you're walking a tightrope with someone (and believe me - this is currently happening to me more than ever) - then this is the soundtrack. Piano and vocals with a bunch of candle and a pinch of bluetooth speaker.
I write and jam my head to Put That Away and Talk To Me which is very lamentable a notion - that whole smartphone thing. It's an epic journey this album, bundling up 17 tracks into 76 minutes - messy as a messy room, but all good :) - He is my singer-songwriter of the decade for sure - catching him in concert in Taiwan in 2014 was incredible. I won't write some sloppy journalism like "so good I can't describe" - but it was something along those lines.
James Fake. Fake Jimbo. Plain Blake. Plan Blake. He's a star, depite the plain name. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
