I still regard Overgrown as the best album of 2013. This masterpiece is just musically complete.

Simon Jacks Thanks for defining music for us. I never would've known what music was if you hadn't.

It is very adorable how he massively blushes whenever he speaks.

wow even when he just talks his voice is magnificent

His music heals all my inflicted wounds.

He sounds the same live as he does on his album O__O damn he's awesome.

threw this on while doing laundry and i was confused when i couldn’t skip to the next song 😅 he’s amazing

Man, its about time till this young man return to kexp with Assume Form songs, and that will be awesome

"To the last" is so beautiful ... you can play it at your wedding...and your funeral...After listening to him live i understand why artist with his vocal style and arrangement need a break from touring and performing...Classic music last as long as time does......

This guy is kinda phenomenal in my opinion...

It's like he's playing a game with my ears.....and winning.

22:20 When you and your musicians notice the loop mistake and you and they know they can't do anything to fix it cause is a live loop, So the only thing u can do is to have fun and smile and enjoy with your friends.

I think I'm in love with his voice...

I discovered his work from William Forsythe's Blake Works. I appreciate the naked cutting simplicity of his sound. Bravo

The way both the host and Blake are speaking to each other... sounds.... sexual.

my body is covered in goosebumps. wow

Why does it feel like James Blake is the only friend my depression has ever made.

07:33 - 08:23 is my favorite part of 'To the Last.' And the Wilhelm Scream in this one is magical.

lol he looped his vocals wrong on Retrograde..and they keep crackin up :) so cute

2013 was when you helped me through a difficult time; loved you and your words, and love you now. Keep giving us your heart, that we find find words hard to look for. And drums and strum work beyond my ken; thank you.

he seriously needs to get a live album out already. please. now.

He's so charming! Any lady would be lucky to have him!

James, you are the owner of my soul.

It's funny she says "I'll never get tired of that song", and the title is "The Wilhelm Scream", something that's repeated a lot

wow......saw him first time after radiohead finished their set on the park stage, i thought how do you follow that...then JB came on!

Props to the sound engineers this is so crisp.

James Blake is amazing. Hoping to see him live here in South America

every time I listen to James, I experience something new

this was the first perfomance i have seen of James Blake back in 2013 and last week I got the chance to watch him live, can't explain how much it means to me

Wilhelm Scream sounded great!

Shes like the most lovely person lol

His voice is so unique, I love it!!!!!

Love how the interviewer is actually obviously a fan.

I’ve elevated to another dimension of hearing James live in this beautiful set… Thank you 💜

You heard it here, folks. This artist has shattered Stalin's cold exterior. He's bringing together the worst of enemies with SOUL. And both bridging time and reaching into the afterlife. Not bad.

its all positive suspense...James Blake is healing. He should come to South Africa, Johanessburg.

this dude fucking kills me. so much talent. sónar was incredible.

Weird place to express this but I have so much love and respect for Cheryl Waters.

I take some pride having found Overgrown early in life. Helped me go through a lot of unspoken nights. Cheers James.

I honestly didn't notice. I was concentrating so hard on his exceptional music that brought me to tears, and that beautiful softly spoken babble when he was answering questions. But to answer the anomaly: In art, a paintbrush looks like a paintbrush, it is the artist who adds his soul to create a painting. In music, headphones look like headphones, the artist hears the sound and converts it into a song. Therefore, James Blake is an amazing artist!

that piano patch for overgrown is sooo lush.....

Love it ...always great live shows on KEXP.

the last song is beutifull !! this guy is a genius !

There’s nothing like Janes Blake ❤ ever!!!

His voice when speaking makes me hot :O

When I'm lost, I can find myself on his songs

discovering this interesting artist.. taking you in his moods and sounds..

To The Last...holy cow that's beautiful

I listen to this after my girlfriend broke up with me. I cried all my reality out. I wanted to go to the last, but everything was so over grown and there was such a limit to her love that now our love just comes back in the night.

Everytime it starts to get too dissonant or weird for me, and I walk over to change the song.....he changes it up and, I say.."well, let's see where this goes..." I usually end up liking where it takes me.

James' performance is a masterpiece !

Still one of my favorite live performances

DOPE!

Front to back, best performance I've ever heard.

Big music, big love....

what a piece of magic!

so talented... beautiful music.... thanks

overgrown is so resonant in this session

My god his voice , I'm in love !

Love this. Retrograde was spectacular.

That voice....

those guitar fret close-ups: gorgeous stuff!

goosebumps all over my body and a floating mind and soul :3

Blake-tastic!!

What a voice!

The perfect way to spend my day and my night. Over and over.

KEXP is so great! Always interesting artists. thanks!

I really enjoy his voice 😍

Cheryl Walters does a great job on giving James, Rob and Ben the best to do their best. I'm "constant" in going back to this youtube - sound better than my ipod - and I don't think I'm the age group aimed at but I love James Blakes' music and it will last.

A genius in action. I feel blessed to have discovered his music.

we need a KEXP in Portugal !

No puedo parar de escuchar :)
