James Blake is one of the more prolific and influential artists of our generation but is not immune to feelings of low self-esteem and low confidence at times. He recently spoke with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe to open up about his new sound and direction and the creative process behind his newest album Playing Robots Into Heaven.
According to James Blake, the early stages of the album started with him creating a large folder of modular jams. Over time, he began turning them into pieces of music that would eventually become the foundations of Playing Robots Into Heaven. His newfound confidence shines throughout the project as he fuses elements of dance and pop with his own unique, avant-garde expression.
Playing Robots Into Heaven is James Blake in his most free and creative state and a welcoming reminder that even the greatest artists can still be human. Stream the full project below and enjoy!
