I am in love with his version of Feist’s ‘Limit to your love‘. I love Feist for all she does, but for these few weeks at least, James Blake’s version takes the trophy. It’s not that it trumps Feist’s original version, but James brings a much darker and solitary interpretation by deconstructing the song while keeping its meaning intact. It’s akin to dubstep produced for the listening pleasure of the lone occupant in a post modern castle. [link]
He also did an equally haunting version of Joni Mitchell’s ‘A case of you‘ live on BBC Radio 1 several months ago. [link]
