James Blake: Mental Health in the Music Industry and the Need for Public Authenticity | Apple Music

In honor of World Mental Health Day on October 10th, James Blake sits down with Zane Lowe to discuss the state of mental health awareness in the music industry and his own personal journey. James Blake explains that there has always been a thread of mental health struggle in his records, but over time he has grown and realized his duty to unabashedly articulate the truth about his mental health in his first language, music. He has been an artist on the forefront of mental health awareness since the beginning of his career, but as society becomes more dependent on social media, he believes mental health is more important now than ever.

    James Blake is such a well rounded deep human and artist. I could listen to his music, and to him talk, forever. It's so refreshing to hear an artist talk about the deep stuff too, so articulately.

    As an artist and human, I really recognise all they are saying especially about getting away from the phone. But there’s all these loops and things that bring me back like ‘ahhh I need to promote’ or this very KZread video to learn more and get involved etc etc etc there’s always something seems like it’s forever. Perhaps a moderate day or so here and there

    I don't think outright abstinence is a realistic solution anymore especially as an artist yourself because social media is a useful tool. The trick is learning the digital hygiene to actually realistically use it as a tool and only that which I know is hard when the app is set up to be addictive.

    Listening to Music and making music can help a lot with with mental health, sometimes. People don’t always realize even the basic sound of nature and silent is a huge benefit. The problem these days: too much noise in form of media that triggers fears and worsen the mental health.

    I love this conversation, I absolutely love James Blake, and I love that we're having more and more conversations about mental health in general. There were a few gems that I’m actually going to take with me in working through my own stuff. I also want to point out that Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope is a deep dive into her own struggles with mental health, and it came out back in 1997. It was huge for an artist of her scale to be talking about those things in such a raw and open way, and I think it is one of many things that helped pave the way for the conversations we're having now, particularly in the music industry. I remember because I was struggling with my own mental health in a new way at the time, so it was very meaningful for me. And I don't even know enough to feel confident in saying that she was "the first"...I just know that she was significant and that she predates James and others considerably in tackling these issues through her art and her public presence. I think it's worth it to place all of this into a context because it actually makes the conversation richer and fuller.

    Great conversation, regardless of whether it's to promote James' new album (which is great), Apple, Zane, etc. It's easy to forget that musicians, and others out there that we admire, are not necessarily super heroes and are struggling with the same issues we are. And they can be struggling with it, and figuring it all out, yet still be successful. Sometimes it feels like the two can't go together. Loved what James said about his commitment to himself to be more authentic and honest, and the positive impact that has had on his life. So, yeah, a little promo in there, but great things to take away from the convo too.
