The Colour in Anything - James Blake
The Colour in Anything

The Colour In Anything is James Blake’s third studio LP, and the follow up to his 2013 LP, Overgrown. The album was originally believed to be titled Radio Silence. Blake announced the title along with the cover using a series of murals in London and Brooklyn in the week of the album’s release. Back in 2015, he said that Kanye West would also be featured on the album, but it looks like that collaboration never came to fruition. Quentin Blake designed the cover art. The album contains two of Blake’s recently released singles “Timeless” and “Modern Soul”. The only featured artist is Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, while Frank Ocean is credited as a co-writer on the album. James told Consequence of Sound when asked how this album compares to his previous work, It’s bigger in scope and a byproduct of a lot of change and growing up, really, a lot of self improvement and reflection. My [romantic] relationship was a catalyst for those kinds of changes; the person I’ve been with for the past year or so really brilliantly held up a mirror to me. I mean, I grew up an only child, and then at 21 I became quite famous—you’re in a petri dish, and people are just peering in on your progress. I feel now as if I can identify with more empathy and relate to people.
