New: James Blake

Definitely one to watch in 2011. Mr Blake is kinda like the bastard child of Antony & The Johnsons, Bon Iver, a keyboard and a drum pad. Those are some big raps but it's exciting to think about what this guy can put together in the next couple of years seeing as he is still so young. Apparently he wrote, recorded and produced the entire album over the last year and a half, so be impressed. Blake works within the realms of a minimalist sound, and although it may take a few listens to get used to, there's no doubt that this guy is talented. Here are a few of my favourite tracks of his debut full-length self-titled album, due on Feb 7th... Enjoy

First up, the very impressive video clip to the anticipated first single 'Limit To Your Love'
