James Blake Biography

James Blake is one of the most popular and richest Pop Singer who was born on September 26, 1988 in England, England, United Kingdom. English electro-pop singer-songwriter whose sophomore LP “Overgrown” won the Mercury Prize in 2013. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 56th Grammy Awards. His hit song “King’s Dead” features artists Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and Future, and was featured in 2018’s Black Panther.

He collaborated with rapper and producer Robert Diggs, a.k.a. RZA, on the track “Take a Fall For Me.”

Blake began his music career by releasing his debut 12″ record, entitled “Air & Lack Thereof” in the United Kingdom during July 2009, while being persistent in recording songs in his bedroom. Having been released on the imprint record label, Hemlock, the extended play became a favourite of BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson. Soon after the release of the record Blake was invited by Peterson to do a special mix on his international show, including an exclusive Mount Kimbie track. As a second-year composition assignment for his studies at Goldsmiths, he submitted the Klavierwerke EP which was awarded high marks.

Blake’s early releases are fragmented electronic works influenced by UK dance and bass styles (such as 2-step and the stark dubstep of Burial and Digital Mystikz), as well as ’90s trip hop and American R&B artists such as Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, and D’Angelo. On his acclaimed trio of 2010 EPs (The Bells Sketch, CMYK and Klavierwerke), Blake’s own voice is obscured or processed in favor of vocal samples from ’90s R&B, prominent sub-bass frequencies, and minimal, jittery rhythms. During this period, Blake’s work was tagged by journalists as “post-dubstep”, alluding to his movement beyond the style’s characteristics. By the time of his 2011 debut album, Blake’s vocals and piano had become more prominent while traditional song structures became increasingly apparent, reflecting the influence of gospel, soul and ambient music. His second album Overgrown (2013) continued this trend, integrating an electronic approach with balladry and Blake’s soul-inflected vocals, and featuring contributions from hip hop artist RZA and electronic musician Brian Eno.

His father is guitarist James Litherland. He dated Theresa Wayman of the indie rock band Warpaint. He subsequently began a relationship with actress Jameela Jamil.

On 19 July 2011, Blake was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize 2011 for his self-titled debut album; the award was won by PJ Harvey. However, in 2013, he was nominated again for Overgrown, and subsequently won the award, the result being announced on 30 October. The judges at the event described his album as “…late-night music for the digital age. An inventive, poignant and poetic record of great beauty.” He was also nominated for Best New Artist at the 2014 Grammy Awards.

Later that year, Blake released both the Enough Thunder and Love What Happened Here EPs in 2011. These EPs, noticeably more structured than his previous releases, featured R&B-tinged work as opposed to the experimental electronic style found on CMYK. Some reviewers expressed doubt about Blake’s stylistic movement, with Pitchfork’s Larry Fitzmaurice saying that “[his] reliance on piano-based singer/songwriter electro-soul perhaps played it a bit too safe, prompting comparisons to the once-outré, now-gear spinning career of fellow avant-crooner Jamie Lidell”.
