James Blake - UK Tour For The Colour in Anything

James Litherland Jr. is a fascinating musician, and that begins with his career pseudonym. Despite using his middle name Blake professionally to differentiate from his musician father, he's not to be mixed up with the recently retired American tennis player who happens to share his stage moniker. The truth is that he's become famous in his own right for his dreamy, melancholic electro, which has won him the opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in music. They're actually starting to seek him out; new album The Colour in Anything features collaborations with Bon Iver and Frank Ocean, while Beyonc� specially requested him for 'Forward' on her 2016 LP Lemonade. The unanimously positive reaction to new singles such as 'Modern Soul', 'Timeless' and 'Radio Silence' show he's growing with each record, and he debuts the tracks live across the UK in 2016. Performing at some of the country's most prestigious venues throughout October and November, the intricately layered 'My Willing Heart' and 'I Need A Forest Fire' stand strongly alongside his most famous hits.

James Blake Biography - Emotive Electro Vocalist

Born in London in 1988, Litherland's R&B sampling first got him noticed, and his quirky 12" 'Air & Lack Thereof' soon appeared on Hemlock Recordings. 2010 proved the breakthrough year for him though, with independent releases The Bells Sketch, CMYK and Klavierwerke helping to raise his profile. His self-titled debut finally arrived in 2011, and that truly catapulted him into the mainstream media spotlight.

After bringing out EPs Enough Thunder and Love What Happened Here to keep his fans happy, sophomore record Overgrown - and claimed the Mercury Prize that eluded him with his debut. What's more, lead single 'Retrograde' claimed the Ivor Novello award for Best Contemporary Song, granting further recognition for a prodigious composing talent. Litherland's intoxicating blend of falsetto vocals and piano-led ballads have made him one of the most sought-after producers and performers around. 2016 brought his return with third album The Colour in Anything, and he tours it live across the world over the coming months.
