WHO'S JAMES BLAKE?
By EMANUELA CLARI FEB. 25, 2017
Mentally and emotionally a voice grabbed my time. I had been brought into a Timeless atmosphere that was inexplicable.
I had to sit and listen paying attention to a particular sonority talking to me in a sort of brand new language. A desire to experiment and intellectual alertness were vibrating in James Blake's voice and arrived straight away to capture my "observation".
Music plays an important part in most people lives. We who seek, probably, in tunes and voices that cryptic outlook in its most significant meaning can't in no sense avoid the "call" from one tune or another, from one voice or another. It's the vibration which decides who to touch and how.
Sort of experience comparable to when we stop ourselves admiring a painting or any other form of Art from Nature to Architectural creations and singularly and Uniquely We do receive and acknowledge something Special.
What can we do for this valuable achievement when occurs? Just grab it to the core of our identity and let it pulsate with us.
​
Many of James Blake's tracks from his Albums such as his latest "The Colour in Anything" (2016), the Mercury Prize rewarded "Overgrown" (2013) and his self-titled "James Blake" (2011) have decided, to a very considerable degree, to draw my attention to a different approach to sounds, whispers, beats, delicate and apparently discordant notes.
