Any James Blake fans in here?

I would think that fans of Prince would naturally dig James Blake.

This cat's one of the most soulful and distinct voices I've heard in years.

He's got a new record that just came out.

Check out some songs here...

What's that? Beyonce fans are digging James Blake now? Very cool. He's so talented and deserves more US exposure. He's amazing live too. I thought he'd be so mellow in concert, but it was intense when I saw him a few years ago--and oh, that voice! One of the best singers since Jeff Buckley!

me too. the first and second album, i have no problem with. but this third one, i don't know,

despite his vocals being very beautiful, i do feel like i'm going slightly mad after 5 songs of
this new album because his voice becomes annoying somehow. maybe i should try again in
a little while or break it up into individual songs on playlists.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
