Anytime you get to hear some new James Blake you want good, whenever you release a album so powerful that it defines a new genre, a new era of music you are always under pressure to release dope stuff for like forever.
‘Retrograde’, the first we’ve heard out of Blake since he announced yesterday that his follow-up ‘Overgrown’ will be out April 8, is just as blissful as you thought it would be, if not better, the soul impersonation is just wonderful.
So Ignore everything else and take a listen.
