Despite critical acclaim and mass appreciation of magnificence from the muso's for his self-titled debut album, it seems James Blake was wholly unimpressed by condemnation from uncultured souls like myself that the whole thing was a bit monotone and could have potentially been one half hour long song. In a bid to silence such negativity, his new album, Retrograde, due out on Monday seems to be a much more expanded venture, as this bonus track Every Day I Ran proves. It features a sample from none other than hip-hop royalty Big Boi, with the Outkast olympian oozing over a classic Blake beat, definitely worth checking out for both present and potentially unknowing future fans -

Think the cover says it all, monochrome,monotone, monotonous.......run out of mono's
ReplyDeleteHaha, I actually quite like it! I used to be part of the mono-thesaurus using group when it came to Blake but from this and Voyeur I think it could be a decent album - definitely worth an intrigued listen anyway!
