On April 8 James Blake will release Overgrown, his highly anticipated second album. We've already heard the album's very pretty first two singles. He has collaborated with Wu Tang's RZA on a song called "Take A Fall For Me"and Brian Eno on a song called "Digital Lion" for his new album. The abiding mood of James Blake's second album may be one of melancholy, but in every track there is a glinting nib of beauty wound into the melody or set at odds to it, something to cling on to. The lyrics tell of love, yearning and a cosmic loneliness, but the music speaks of harmony and a coming together. There is a richness here too, a depth of detail.
