James Blake - Limit To Your Love

Unless you've been living under a rock for the nest part of the year, I'm sure you have heard of James Blake. 2010 has been an immense year for this young artist; with his The Bells EP getting rave reviews across the board and similarly the CMYK EP released on R & S an absolute underground smash.

His music tinkers on the fringes of dubstep with a fusion of leftfield electronica and splicings of garage. Ealier this year we saw his second release on R & S; the brilliant Klavierwerk EP drop to further critical acclaim and this gave us an insight into how James' future works may sound. Sampling and cutting up his own vocals to infuse an emotive edge to the track and giving a nod to the soon to be full vocal work of Limit To Your Love.

This release of Limit To Your Love showcases James' amazing soulful voice alongside his excellent production skills; it's possibly the best male vocal of the year and definitely offers a beautiful take on the typical dubstep style. This version of Fiest and Chilly Gonzales' track is the first taste of James' album which is due to drop in early 2011. The track teams up his fragile, heartfelt and emotional vocal delivery with a huge speaker destroying sub-bassline. As soon as that bass kicks in the system is shaking to the ground and we're left with the undeniable feeling that this is an exceptional piece of music.

The track has been featured in James' sets for a while destroying clubs and leaving crowds with their jaws on the floor. I would highly recommend having a listen and also checking out the accompanying video directed by Martin De Thurah.
