New striking strokes

Mega British electro-R&B-rap champ JAMES BLAKE shares his 7th LP, baptized
Playing Robots Into Heaven with the world on 8 September.

The first single BIG HAMMER is a weird piece. An instrumental trip, think Aphex Twin,
until midway when dancehall-rap vocal samples take over until the finish. Well, it’s weird on first hearing, but gets sort of funky after a couple of streams. Minimalistic electronics for maximum joy.

Listen/watch.
