James Blake is reportedly releasing a new EP in a few weeks

Blake returned with his Before EP last month, which marked his first collection of tracks since his 2019 Assume Form album.

In a new interview with NME, Blake confirms that he's planning to release a second EP in a few weeks. He told NME that the music is "pretty much the complete opposite of Before."

Discussing the possibility of releasing an album in the current climate, Blake adds, "The best case scenario for me is that people more regularly get something. I just want to stay active. I mean, I am going to do an album.
