This week, a French Amazon pre-order page leaked the news that a new album from James Blake is set for release at the end of this month. Titled Assume Form, the album is made up of 12 tracks and boasts an impressive list of features including Moses Sumney, Travis Scott, André 3000, flamenco artist Rosalía, and Metro Boomin. The listing has since been taken down but thanks a team of sharp Reddit users, the tracklist is available to peruse.
Assume Form is reportedly due out January 25, which coincides with the English artist’s recently announced a North American tour. The tour includes a stop in Seattle on Sunday, March 10 at the Moore Theatre. Blake’s last record was 2016’s The Colour In Anything and his most recent single was May’s “Don’t Miss It.”
