James Blake - I Want You To Know

Wow... just finished my first listen of the James Blake album 'Playing Robots In Heaven', which is probably going to take a few more listens and some time to sink in just how good it really is. There are many highlights and the entire body of work is an incredible listen, but a standout track was 'I Want You To Know', which is an ethereal, classic James Blake flip of the classic 'Beautiful' by Snoop Dogg, Pharrell and Charlie Wilson. I very rarely throw the word genius out into the world... but having followed James' career since the very start and having had the pleasure to get to know him, it's the only world that really does his work justice. Must listen.

Boy Scout - Bitter Blue

Following on from their enchanting debut single ‘Get Me By’, electronic singer/producer duo Boy Scout this week mark their return with yet more mesmerising sounds from their lo-fi studio set-up. Entitled 'Bitter Blue', what is only the second track to surface from the mysterious London duo, sees the pair further cement comaparions between the likes of James Blake and Aquilo, this time showcasing a more driven and synth heavy sound, yet one that stills allows the vocal space to breathe. Boy Scout’s producer half also tells how ‘Bitter Blue’ was the spark that set their musical journey alight. He explains, “We were both talking about how easy it is to get caught in this cyclical, adolescent and unfulfilling lifestyle. The track was kind-of a homage to our combined regrets of the last few years.”
