Blake’s version of dubstep is one of a bite more heart and soul, which would explain why the comparisons to contemporaries like Bon Iver, The xx, and Laura Marling are so apt. Blake actually got his start at London’s FWD>>, the dubstep night held at the Shoreditch club Plastic People’s cellar, so he also knows a thing or two about getting people on the floor. However, the producing virtuoso’s sound is also surely rooted in the soul and blues of American music, something you can clearly hear in the first single “Limit To Your Love” (whose video you can check out below.)
Stay tuned for more info, including a tracklist, as it’s announced. James Blake hits stores February 7th via Atlas/A&M.
