James Blake Shares New Single ‘Say What You Will’
Mercury Music Prize and GRAMMY® Award winning UK singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer James Blake has just shared his brand new single Say What You Will, a stunning piece of indie-pop music out now via Polydor Records.
The lead single of his fifth studio album, Friends That Break Your Heart, due out 10th September 2021, via Polydor Records, Say What You Will is a song about finding peace with who we are and not compare ourselves to what others are in life or doing. This is quite a struggle especially in the social media days as we are bombarded with other people's lives and achievements which can lead to several mental health issues like depression. If we keep comparing our lives to others we will never be truly happy.
This is a beautifully-written song with a warm production that effortlessly enhances James Blake's gorgeous, distinctive vocals which are packed with raw, honest emotion. Say What You Will is accompanied by a memorable music video, directed by Bear Damen, which features a guest appearance from Finneas and enhances the song's atmosphere. Check it out below!
The song is about finding peace with who you are and where you’re at regardless of how well other people seem to be doing. Comparison really is the thief of joy.
