JAKARTA - British singer and producer James Blake has officially released his latest album titled 'Trying Times' via Good Boy Records. The album features two newly released singles, 'Death Of Love' and 'I Had A Dream She Took My Hand'.
Both singles showcase Blake's range of artistic expression as well as an unusual emotional sincerity.
Throughout the album 'Trying Times', Blake explores the fragile space between closeness and solitude in an era of uncertainty, while tracing the cracks in today's life. When overwhelming feelings take over the themes and atmosphere, the album is at the midpoint between optimism and anxiety.
In conjunction with the album's celebration, Blake has also announced details of his upcoming European tour, which is scheduled to begin in September, including a special appearance at the O2 Academy Brixton, London. The schedule follows an earlier announcement of his North American tour, which includes two sold-out shows at the Brooklyn Paramount, New York City, as well as one sold-out show at HISTORY, Toronto.
Tickets for the newly announced show series are available in early sales starting Tuesday, March 17 at 11.00 local time, while general sales begin on Friday, March 20 at 10.00 local time. The full schedule can be seen below.
As a producer, songwriter, and Grammy-winning musician, Blake's unique blend of soul, electronica, hip-hop, and alt-R&B has shaped the sound of modern music. Through six influential studio albums, Blake's catalog has garnered more than 2.2 billion streams: his 2019 album, Assume Form, featuring ROSALÍA and Travis Scott, received widespread acclaim, followed by his debut to date with the top-charting album Friends That Break Your Heart in 2021.
His incredible vocals and visionary production touches have established him as one of the most influential figures in contemporary music, as well as a highly sought-after collaborator by Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, SZA, ROSALÍA, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, and many more, as well as contributing to iconic albums such as 'Blonde', 'DAMN.' , 'ASTROWORLD', 'Lemonade', and 'Motomami'.
Recently, Blake collaborated with British rapper Dave on his critically acclaimed album, 'The Boy Who Played The Harp', as well as creating 'Séance' with Ludwig Göransson, a featured track from Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' film soundtrack.
