Last year, James Blake revealed that his follow-up to 2013's Overgrown would be called Radio Silence. Ten months later, he shared its first track, "Modern Soul," during his BBC Radio 1 residency. Today, Blake showed up for a surprise appearance on the residency, sharing a new song called "Timeless" and revealing that the album is complete. He jokes that he's in Los Angeles because it's raining in England, and says, "I was here finishing off a few things. I did this thing I'm gonna put out at some point."

He continues, "I said it a couple of months ago that I think it's time to start recording an album because–you know–there've been requests. People have been asking if I'm going to record a record, so I did one." Blake offers, "It turned out great–quite long, but I'm really happy with it." and, "It's 18 tracks long. Yeah, one of the tracks is 20 minutes long, as well." His co-host says, "I think it's 24," to which he responds, "Yeah, for real."

It's pleasant. It will definitely grow on me. He tends to do that anyway.

Striking whilst the Beyonce promo is hot:

James Blake has announced that his new album The Colour in Anything is out tonight. Yes, when the clock strikes midnight GMT, the follow-up to 2013's Overgrown will be released. Blake revealed the news on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show this afternoon, confirming rumors of the LP title and imminent release following the appearance last week in London and New York of billboards featuring artwork by Roald Dahl illustrator Sir Quentin Blake.

Last year, Blake said that the album would be called Radio Silence and performed the track "Radio Silence" live. (The title has changed since then.) Blake also debuted the recorded version of "Radio Silence" on Annie Mac's show. He also revealed that he worked with Rick Rubin on the album.

Blake has been steadily releasing new music over the past few months, starting with "Modern Soul" back in February, followed by "RPG" with UK rapper Trim and "Timeless." Last year, Blake also said that Justin Vernon and Kanye West would appear on the album.
