    Amazing EP. Blake has achieved the rare feat of creating house bangers that don’t sound like manufactured emotion, but rather genuine vulnerability.

    For anyone wondering, the couple dancing together in their dining room are dancing in what looks to be a modernized take on Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian artform that combines martial arts, dance, music, and theater! Really impressive and beautiful stuff! Never thought I'd see Capoeira in a James Blake music video!!
