JAMES BLAKE x REBECCA HALL MUSIC VIDEO
James Blake today put out the official video for his song "A Case Of You", previously known in my mind as 'that ballad-like song after the Bon Iver one'. The track is listed on his EP "Enough Thunder", of course preceded by the excellent collaboration number with Bon Iver songwriter Justin Vernon.
It's a beautiful song, somehow playing with heartfelt ballad effects whilst keeping within his brilliantly original sounds, and the video is suitably just as good. It features English actress Rebecca Hall, most famous for "The Prestige", who looks amazing in this video as she displays the emotion throughout a relationship, and nails it. I reckon I could drink a case of her.. I promised myself I wouldn't write that.

JAMES BLAKE AND BON IVER COLLABORATION
Fall Creek Boys Choir it's called, a huge collaboration between two of the coolest artists around. By that I mean their individual sounds are something special, it's just beautifully meaningful music and I'm still not quite sure how to describe them. Alternative, Dubstep, Electronic, call it what you want but I don't think any of them does justice. Today their collaborative tune had its first play and it is quite simply their respective strengths put together in a song. Justin Vernon does the vocals in his incredibly expressive and powerful manner with James Blake on beats, production and most of everything else actually. I'm not sure whether this is a single for official release or what, but it's certainly an attractive project which I hope, as a fan of both musicians, will be continued at some point in the future. If that does become the case, it would be a massive appeal for me, more so than say Jay-Z and Kanye West.
