James Blake is the British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer who in recent years has delivered some of the most influential albums of the 21st century. A GRAMMY® Award winner in 2019, the artist brings live his latest studio album "Playing Robots into Heaven" as well as some of the songs that made him famous. In 2021, the British artist released his fifth studio album "Friends That Break Your Heart," debuting at No. 4 on the U.K. charts and receiving massive critical acclaim. Over the past decade, he has collaborated with such great artists as Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar, as well as JAY-Z and Beyoncé.
His appearances range from "Stop Trying to Be God" with Stevie Wonder and Kid Cudi on Travis Scott 's epic album "ASTROWORLD" to "King's Dead" with Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and Future from the chart-dominating album "Black Panther: The Album." The latter not only went triple platinum, but also earned Blake his first GRAMMY® Award in the Best Rap Performance category. At the same time, James Blake became famous as a pop exception through his dynamic solo production. The artist introduced a singular sound with the debut album "James Blake" released in 2011, crowned by Pitchfork as one of the "100 best albums of the decade so far (2010-2014)." Soon after, the album "Overgrown" confirmed the artist's rare ability to align artists such as Brian Eno and RZA within the same project.
