It’s safe to say that James Blake has reinvented himself. Formerly the darling of a major label, able to use his work to show how far they were willing to push the boat out artistically (while reaping the financial rewards behind the scenes), he’s since gone it alone and – by all accounts – is all the better for it.
Indeed, Blake seems more present than ever, having recently appeared alongside Timothée Chalamet for his Dylan-plugging Saturday Night Live performance (playing three suitably off-the-radar numbers) and releasing his music his way via platforms such as Indify.
