Following the amazing singles “Retrograde” and “Digital Lion,” England’s James Blake released his sophomore LP today, two years after the release of his self-titled debut album. The deluxe version of Overgrown features eleven tracks, and each one is filled with his signature production and mellow vocals. “Take a Fall For Me” features the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, and includes the only guest vocals on the album. Other stand out tracks for me include “Life Round Here,” “Dlm,” and “Overgrown.” Stream them below, then grab the entire LP via iTunes. More from Overgrown: Website // Facebook Page...
