James Blake

James Blake is one of the most successful British artists of the 2010s. He arrived in 2009 with a series of 12' singles and achieved both critical acclaim and worldwide fame with his unique style that wrapped aching, gently sung R&B vocals around the deep bass and minimal rhythmic elements of dubstep. His renown continued to rise over the next several years. His second album, 2013's Overgrown, gained him the prestigious Mercury Prize.

Blake first received recognition for a series of 2010 EPs including 'CMYK' and 'Klavierwerke.' His second album 'Overgrown' was released in 2013 and awarded the Mercury Prize. During his career, he has collaborated with artists including Mount Kimbie and Bon Iver as well as contributing in production work to artists including Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Vince Staples, and Frank Ocean. Blake has also released remix work under the alias Harmonimix. His fourth album 'Assume Form' was released in 2019.
