The electronic musician, producer and soulful crooner James Blake will release his long-awaited album, The Colour In Anything at 7 p.m. ET tonight. In announcing the imminent album, Blake has released three of the album's 18 tracks, including a collaboration he recorded with Bon Iver called "I Need A Forest Fire," the lovely and spare "Radio Silence" and "My Willing Heart." You can hear all three new songs below.
Blake premiered "I Need A Forest Fire" and "Radio Silence" on the BBC's Radio 1 earlier today. Both songs, plus "My Willing Heart," appeared later on YouTube and Spotify.
The Colour In Anything is Blake's first full-length since the incredible Overgrown, which won the Mercury Prize in 2013. You can watch Blake perform songs from that album in a full concert NPR Music recorded at the 9:30 Club just after Overgrown was released.
