James Blake‘s much anticipated self titled debut album is due out on Monday (February 7th).
Two months without a post is terrible, I can do nothing more than apologies profusely and begin making it up to you right now, starting with this cover of Rihanna’s ‘What’s My Name’ performed by Everything Everything for Radio 1 this week.
Everything Everything – “What’s My Name” (Rihanna Cover) by vinylandvodka (thanks)
While there they also played Photoshop Handsome, still my favourite track of theirs.
Head to the bands official website for plenty more Everything Everything goodness.
More layered fun from the Brigton based sextet.
‘T.O.R.N.A.D.O.’ is taken from The Go! Team’s upcoming third album Rolling Blackouts, due out in 2011.
Blackbird Blackbird, who I hopefully introduced you guys to here, take on ladies of the hour Warpaint in the remix to ‘Undertow’.
A fractured delivery throughout the track gives a distinctive sound which offers Blackbird Blackbird’s stylings layered with one of the most talked about bands around right now.

‘Moon Crooner’ is taken from Egyptian Hip Hop’s latest EP Some Reptiles Grew/Developed (meh, I still don’t know which one it is seeing as this YouTube video refers to it as grew…) Wings.
See our review of said EP here.
The video to accompany ‘Limit To Your Love’, James Blake’s take on the Feist number, portrays the acoustics of the track perfectly.
‘Limit To Your Love’ makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up with each and every listen, the minimalist nature of Blake’s vocals and piano combined with the pulsing bass which kicks in just before the one minute mark are at opposite ends of the spectrum sonically but compliment each other elegantly.
‘Limit To Your Love’ will be the first single taken from Blake’s upcoming debut album, of which details are pretty scarce so far.
