Although his solo output doesn’t necessarily fit within the boundaries of any traditional genre, James Blake has maintained a heavy presence in Hip-Hop and R&B over the last decade. Having worked with everyone from André 3000 to Beyoncé, the Grammy award-winning artist has been a part of some spectacular collaborations over the years, such as “King’s Dead” with Kenrick Lamar, Jay Rock, and Future and “Mile High” with Travis Scott.
Now, two years after the release of his lauded fourth studio album Assume Form, James Blake has returned with his first full-length in years, titled Friends That Break Your Heart.
