In Studio: James Blake

Soundcheck | May 9, 2011

Earlier this year, the full-length debut from James Blake helped launch a civil war inside the British electronic genre known as dubstep. Purists decried the lack of manic dance beats, while innovators applauded the album’s icy R&B feel and Blake’s vocals, which recall a classic era of blue-eyed English soul. (His cover of Feist’s “Limit to Your Love” was just petrol on the fire.) He joins us to play live.
