James Blake - "Retrograde" (LOVED)


A music video for the new James Blake track, which is teasing toward the release of a new album that’s looking at an April release via Republic Records!

I’d be a shock if every track on the album were this soulful, eh? While the song does take a surprising turn for James, all of the elements herein were at least present in his previous efforts in some way, shape, or form. Certainly, the man is a fan of contemporary R&B, and James has never been one to shy away from piano balladry either. The hot layers of synths toward the end of the track are a familiar touch as well.

The track features elements of soul music and electronica. It’s smooth and rigid at the same time–at lot like that new Bobby Womack album that dropped this past year. Maybe you’d dig that, too.

Enjoy!
