James Blake’s highly anticipated fourth album, Assume Form, arrives at a moment when his career is soaring to new heights. With collaborations with the likes of Jay Z, Beyonce, and Kendrick Lamar, Blake has undoubtedly solidified his position in the music industry. The album features notable artists such as Travis Scott, Metro Boomin, and Andre 3000, further reflecting Blake’s newfound status and influence. Singles like ‘Don’t Miss It’ and ‘Mile High’ give listeners a taste of what to expect from the album – a flawless combination of infectious beats, deep bass lines, and the ethereal beauty that Blake has consistently delivered since his breakthrough track ‘Limit To Your Love’. Additionally, Assume Form showcases Blake’s sonic evolution, incorporating gorgeous violin flourishes in the title track and a haunting ambient finale reminiscent of Moses Sumney’s ‘Doomed’.
The vinyl edition of Assume Form has finally been released, offering fans a few special treats. Alongside the standard black pressing, a limited-edition green double-LP version has also been made available. This exclusive edition includes a bonus track called ‘Mulholland’, which doesn’t appear in the digital version. ‘Mulholland’ explores an intriguing chipmunk-soul sound, creating a uniquely beautiful piece of music akin to an inverted version of Dirty Projectors’ ‘Keep Your Name’. Those who choose the pressing that includes ‘Mulholland’ will be treated to one of Blake’s most distinctive and exceptional works to date.
Blending his signature electro-balladry with hip-hop and trap influences, Assume Form showcases Blake’s talent for crafting both delightful and emotionally evocative albums. With its impressive lineup of collaborative artists and its ability to seamlessly fuse different genres, this album proves once again why James Blake continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
