-PARC DEL FORUM, BARCELONA- A sun drenched Barcelona sea front played host to a very exciting lineup of aging cult heroes, rising talents and globally known superstars. Primavera Sound 2019 was a shining example of how a major city festival can be delivered at an extremely high standard. From the latest in all things working […]
-VICTORIA WAREHOUSE, MANCHESTER- If you’ve listened to James Blake’s beautiful new album Assume Form, read any interviews with him recently or looked on any social media about him, you’ll know one thing: James Blake is fully loved up. His relationship with actress and all round hero Jameela Jamil appears to have fundamentally changed Blake’s outlook […]
James Blake has announced a handful of UK dates in October-November, including a Manchester show at Academy on 3rd November. The much-awaited headline shows will give fans the opportunity to see the award-winning artist, producer, songwriter, and vocalist performing new tracks from his critically acclaimed third album The Colour In Anything (Polydor Records). UK tour dates: 27.10 […]
– THE RITZ, MANCHESTER – James Blake. Not to be confused with the James family of bland, Blunt or Morrison. Blake is a producer and musician of incredible skill and flair. He crafts his songs from a rich array of sounds and electronic production techniques; with nods to bass, dub step, hip hop, R&B and […]
– ACADEMY 2, MANCHESTER – Manchester Academy 2 is not a particularly majestic venue, in fact, it looks almost identical to a high school assembly room, so it seems odd that such a place should host an artist like James Blake, a musician who could no doubt fill a space at least three times as […]
Following the critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, James Blake is back with Overgrown. An undeniable buzz surrounds this release. Blake himself has been teasing his fans, releasing previews and giving away free digital downloads of ‘Digital Lion’ creating an excitement that should surround release dates. Overgrown has more of a soulful tone than Blake’s debut […]
It’s been almost a year since The Kentish Town Forum hosted James Blake’s last live performance on UK shores, but his unique brand of introspective electronica will return to the British stage once again for a series of performances this winter. Having released one of 2011’s most talked about and critically praised records in the […]
– SANKEYS, MANCHESTER – Gigs are better when you arrive fashionably late; rarely do I catch the support act and when I do I usually stand there impatiently waiting for the main event. However, it would seem there is fashionably late and just plain old, late. My sister and I rock up to Sankeys at […]
– BAND ON THE WALL, MANCHESTER – It looks like 2011 is the year that James Blake ate the pies. I expect the svelte foppish-haired waif that I’ve seen peer out of press photos, but the man who takes the stage alongside fellow traveller Rob McAndrews (guitar and sampler), minus Ben Assiter, who often provides […]
– BAND ON THE WALL, MANCHESTER – A few months ago, I bought a couple of James Blake’s dubstep EP’s, ‘Klavierwerke’ and ‘CMYK’. LastFM said I would like him as I like Burial and Mount Kimbie… they were right. Then he started singing and Radio 1 shot him into space. Band On The Wall has […]
