We said we would come back on this James Blake James Blake, and we want to be speaking.
The very young (he was born in 1989) and talented DJ and producer English - Quote from the BBC to second place in the "Sound of 2011", the prestigious ranking that identifies the musical talents of each new year music - recently reached an unexpected success with its unique cover of the Limit To Your Love Feist Canadian singer-songwriter, now almost permanent member of Broken Social Scene: a bare version, essential, stripped of all tinsel, much more beautiful as the original.
But it is all the work to impress, with its foundations and its dubstep electronic minimalism, never too complacent or synthetic, but rather imbued with a soul vein (his parents listen to Stevie Wonder, D'Angelo, Sly & The Family Stone ), a voice capable of deep bass and warm tones.
I never learnt to share, for example, or the final Measurements: The gospel should sound like in the twenty-first century. And Willhelm Scream, second single from the album, with that single verse repeated in a crescendo, ol'accoppiata Lindesfarne / Lindesfarne II, infinitesimal variations on this theme.
Among his influences, the young genius - a true predestined according to some - he cites his countrymen XX; initial Unluck reminiscent of the extraordinary Bon Iver EP in 2009 (Woods), the aforementioned I never learnt to share and piano Give My Mouth are indebted to Antony & The Johnsons. We also reminded of Radiohead's Amnesiac and even Robert Wyatt of Shleep.
short, This disc is less than a masterpiece.
The next April 21 will perform at Blake Lambretto Art Project in Milan Club To Club Festival. Admission to the concert will be free subject to availability: how to book a ticket but will be announced in coming days.
State on the piece.
