Blackest White guy alive. I actually love it when white people prove the stereotypes wrong. Him and Robin Thicke are extremely cool people. We all human man!
when i first heard CMYK, there was lime one video on youtube and it had almost no views, then i went to make me a sanwich, when i came back he was everywhere, doin everything, everyone. Holy shit this guy blew up fast
so many musicians would choose records like that because they're surprising and not obvious, but the way James justifies his reasoning and shows his affection is just brilliant.
@TheHzhzhz Yeah, but come on, it's pretty incomparable. Spirits was pleasant at best, nothing more than a pop singing/looping station interlude. CMYK literally changed my outlook on music, uk electronic/dub music in particular, forever.
@TheHzhzhz First you say that James Blake is trying to be another artist and then you say he's overrated. I suggest you come up with a legitimate reason to put him down in any way such as the raw quality of his music besides random, ignorant attacks. For one, the two are BLATANTLY different in their styles. And for the record, Jamie Woon is a great artist but he is not making music that is exceptionally unique or musically interesting while James Blake is doing just that.
@xHuntedGunzPCGx well, first of all don't take it too deep :) it's jut my opinion and i don't dislike james blake, i just think jamie is way better and original :) james blake is cool but i think most of the people (im not saying you) listen to him much cause of his popularity :) no offence to anyone, respect both of the artists and all of you guys ;)
@TheHzhzhz im pretty sure if someone didn't like the sound of james blake, they wouldn't listen to his music..... i dont think anyone pretends to like a musician.
@TheHzhzhz What overrated attention is he getting? none. I can name 4 or 5 top artists who do the same thing as Jamie Woon but I can't think of ONE who has ever been in the lime light making music with a similar/same style as James Blake. I have heard James Blake for the first time today after catching him on an internet radio and I was surprised at how unique his style was. I listened to Woon and didn't think much of it besides it being great music with meaningful lyrics...but that's it.
Don't know why people are hating on James, he has one of the best albums of 2011. If it's not up your street then fair enough, but chill out, he's just a musician doing his own thing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@kbeeuts ... Correction: He's just a musician doing everyone else's thing. Both of his breakthrough songs are covers (limit to your love and wilhelm scream), and the production on his album sounds like every other UK postdubstep/2step producer after Burial's Untrue. He has some decent songs, I have no problem admitting that. CMYK is a great one. But there's nothing original about his work and he's way overhyped. Just my opinion.
@kbeeuts i hear u man, it gets my blood boiling wen you here people hating on him because they compare him to dup step wen , at most, he is glitch step
@sfgooner70 Um...what? How is comparing this dude to Art Tatum, and asking if he'd like to have a gospel church reaction to his music not stupid? Let's make true statements, not just reactive, defense-of-hipster statements. Gooner.
@pippigladstone Yes, because in your world, every artist can only be compared to their contemporaries. People aren't allowed to have their own "musical experiences" to reminded of dissimilar artists in their own mind, right? How incredibly boring your life must be, with everything in it's proper place.
@pippigladstone He was saying how he heard Garner's influence in modern music and how Drake's flow reminds him of Garner's. That in no way whatsoever compares the quality or the genre of the two musicians. Get real. The glass is half full.
Erol garner is the boss!
