NEW ALBUM THE COLOUR IN ANYTHING AVAILABLE NOW
NEW YORK, NY (May 10, 2015) — GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist JAMES BLAKE debuts the music video for “I Need A Forest Fire” [feat. Bon Iver] today. Watch it HERE. The song is available on his critically acclaimed third full-length offering, The Colour In Anything [Republic Records]—out now. Get it HERE.
The video was directed by United Visual Artists: Matt Clark in collaboration with Chris Davenport. It evokes the standout track’s stunning soul and spirit with an equally powerful visual directed by the visual arts company who will be collaborating with Blake on his headline tour in 2016 and beyond.
Next up, BLAKE is set to headline two sold out shows at Los Angeles’ Belasco Theatre May 16 and New York’s Webster Hall May 18. Tickets for both shows sold out in less than a minute.
The Colour In Anything released recently to much tastemaker praise. Entertainment Weekly and Consequence of Sound both awarded it an A- rating. NME claimed, “The Colour In Anything features Blake’s richest and most emotionally resonant work yet.” Meanwhile, SPIN pegged “I Need A Forest Fire” as one of its “Favorite Songs of the Week.”
Among its 17 tracks, the record features the recently revealed songs “Modern Soul” and “Timeless”— both initially featured on his BBC Radio 1 Residency show. In addition, it includes “I Need a Forest Fire” [feat. Bon Iver] and “Radio Silence”, both of which premiered yesterday on BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac show. In addition to the Bon Iver feature, Frank Ocean and Rick Rubin also contributed to The Colour In Anything as co-writer and co-producer, respectively.
BLAKE’s touch can be felt throughout the modern music landscape. He lent his inimitable voice and production to “Forward” on Beyoncé’s chart-dominating #1 blockbuster Lemonade. In addition, he co-wrote the opener “Pray You Catch Me.” Following the release of 2013’s Overgrown, BLAKE garnered a “Best New Artist” nomination at the 2014 GRAMMY® Awards, and he received a nod for “British Male Solo Artist” at the 2014 BRIT Awards. He’s graced the stage at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, and countless other festivals as well as performing sold out headline tours.
