I want another full album, dammit. Assume Form is one of the best albums, start to finish, EVER made.

I also want another album, but I guess it makes sense that he's dropping an EP now if it's taken into consideration that he has released "You're Too Precious", "Are You Even Real?" and "Godspeed" (two originals and a cover, respectively) this year. I assume all of them will be in that EP, plus three or four new tracks, and this will lead into his fifth album with unreleased material to be released, hopefully, next year.

None of the previous songs he released this year made the cut, but the EP will have four tracks.

This EP is magnificent and I have this on repeat because I simply can't get enough of this. The title track and "Do You Ever" are my favourites from this project, although "I Keep Calling" and "Summer of Now" are great too. I'm wondering if James will take this direction on his fifth album, which I hope it's released next year.

The Covers EP is what I needed right now. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" has been on repeat all morning. I absolutely love it!

He makes me so wet. I had the best sex of my life after one of his shows.

Fuck James Blake. Honestly. He destroyed me with this song. I called him a wizard on Social Media and I mean it. I cannot compare him to a single other artist, which is extremely rare. That a capella breakdown is UNREAL. The beat coming back in was so unexpected. Why is he like this???? HOW is he like this?

Say What You Will is gorgeous. I will agree that his POV is totally his own. He's an acquired taste, but there's stuff he does that is brilliant to me.

His Spotify singles has a song I've never heard and not slated to be on the new album; it's pretty though:

After the songs he gave us before this release, which I absolutely love, I enjoy Show Me and Coming Back on the album.

A contender for Album of the Year and easily his best album. He sounds accessible without completely dumbing down his sound. His voice has never sounded better and my God, these productions are glorious. I am beyond impressed. A+
God-tier songs:
Say What You Will (his crowning glory. Song of the Year.)
Show Me (ummm...Monica, you better SING! What a BEAUTIFUL and heartbreaking song. Wow.)
If I'm Insecure (wheeeeeew...)
I'm So Blessed You're Mine (sir...)
Amazing songs:
Foot Forward (I mean...at this point of the album, I am on the floor...waaay too short, though I kinda get it.)
Frozen (whaaat? go AWF!)
Funeral (stunning and haunting, but man, I love these lyrics so much.)
Lost Angel Nights (that ending...almost made me cry)
Coming Back (DOPE!)
Life Is Not The Same
Famous Last Words
Friends That Break Your Heart (his voice gives me goosebumps, omg.)

For me, I'm not sure if it's his best album, time will tell. Sonically, it's not as adventurous as his early work but lyrically this is his best.
My faves:
Say What You Will, If I'm Insecure, Friends That Break Your Heart, Lost Angel Nights, Life Is Not The Same
but really, every time I listen I find a new favorite.
