Jul 28, 2022·2 repliesIt's weird that the music industry treats him like he's a lot less talented than he is. A lot of acts are only pop culturally interesting and don't bring much new to music itself. They still get praised like gods. James Blake does not but gives to music a lot more

ribbedthe before ep is also mad underappreciated. it feels like a perfect synthesis of his older work and his newer singer-songwriter type stuff

how is he live? really want to catch him one day
Performing live he’s great but he doesn’t perform as much of the classics anymore. Also the crowd feels like its exclusively people who only learned about him after assume form
We saw him do a dj set tho, he pulled out all the self titled/200 press/harmonimix classics
Jul 28, 2022Yeah he was on another level
S*** went too pop & normal, still fire tho

The majority of acts that get put on are hardly musicians. They're culturally interesting personalities and good vocalists with a collection of sessions musicians and marketing execs carrying the ship.
For a musician, and lovers of music we would like to see that musicians are pushing what we can do with music in and of itself. This means adding to the musical repertoire with new meaningful techniques (unbelievably rare) or at least putting known music in a new context.
James Blake falls in that second category. His older work moved dubstep to a place where it could take chords from gospel without losing the essence of dubstep. The result felt like finding new ground without betraying the roots of where he came from. There's something borderline moral about it. Usually people say breaking new ground when they are stripping a genre of its core and putting a few instagram filter like pop patinas on a genre. James Blake was legitimately new, other music has new context next to his.
The dubstep musical world is not that personality intensive and neither is James Blake. This means that the legit musical accomplishments are overlooked and you get this weird pocket in history where his dubstep music exists. James Blake
Is more worthy of being treated like jay elec and jai paul than whatever weid space the music world put him in.Don't feel like I said everything but I did this on mobile lol
Jul 28, 2022i'm personally loving his growth as a singer/songwriter and vocalist, but i can appreciate his older work and understand why some people would prefer it.
excited for the new stuff he's working on
