About
James Blake (born 26 September 1988, London) is a British singer, songwriter and producer whose music sits at the intersection of electronic minimalism, soul and alt-R&B. His Mercury Prize-winning second album 'Overgrown' (2013) and the Grammy-winning collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock cemented his reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music. A sought-after collaborator for Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, SZA and ROSALÍA, he left major-label Polydor in 2024 and released his seventh album 'Trying Times' independently in March 2026.
