Electronic music producer and singer-songwriter James Blake has just released his new album, The Colour In Anything. This is his third studio album, and features the previously released single “Timeless.”
Blake has been teasing the release of The Colour In Anything for several weeks, as various posters and billboards have appeared on social media hinting at the album artwork. He collaborated with Roald Dahl illustrator Sir Quentin Blake, as the illustrations were all drawn by him and revealed the album name and artwork. The evening before the album was released, Blake posted a track list on Instagram and three tracks off The Colour in Anything were uploaded to YouTube and Spotify. These songs are “I Need a Forest Fire,” “My Willing Heart” and “Radio Silence.”
Blake also spoke with BBC Radio 1 last month, stating that the album was completed and he was very excited to share it with his fans. “I said it a couple of months ago that I think it’s time to start recording an album because—you know—there’ve been requests. People have been asking if I’m going to record a record, so I did one,” Blake said. “It turned out great—quite long, but I’m really happy with it.” Blake was not exaggerating, as The Colour In Anything consists of 17 tracks, one of which is over 20 minutes long.
In addition to his own music, Blake has also released remixes under the stage name Harmonimix. In 2011, he released his self-titled debut album and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize that same year. He then released his second studio album Overgrown in 2013 and won the Mercury Music Prize, and was nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy award in 2014.
