One of the most dangerous guys out there
'Limit to Your Love' is a single by James Blake; a third release from this London based electronic composer (in his early 20s). This is the first single from his still eagerly expected debut album.
"Singing next to just a few handpicked sounds (a simple piano melody, a couple of drums, and a rattling sub bass) he turns Feist's jaunty original into something tense and brooding. His approach is so minimal that it's almost cocky: after each verse, he lets the song go silent for three, maybe four seconds, creating this incredible tension where you really crave the next sound. And for all the careful craft, there's still warmth - even soul- to this track, and it's that combo that makes Blake one of the most dangerous guys out there."

Brilliant, it's a song so minimal it almost doesn't exist.
ReplyDeleteI think this is just one of those cases where everything fits together perfectly. The video, the music, the arrangement and even the lyrics.

The lyrics make little sense, yet they ooze music somehow...
