At the same time as Kanye West's The Life Of Pablo spectacle was unfolding in NYC, James Blake slipped new song "Modern Soul" into the world.
The tune was revealed on Blake's BBC Radio 1 show with little fanfare, and then promptly stuffed online by the producer/singer himself.
Blake has been confirmed for a handful of festivals this year, including Green Man, Eaux Claires, and Field Day 2016.
