sirona_ficsSo The Mercury Prize 2011 is happening tonight in London, and when I got into work I found the BBC News article, which I'd missed yesterday when it was published. And so I had a nosey through the nominees, recognising a few familiar names and fistpumping when I realised that Katy B's On a Mission is nominated. You may remember me flailing about her single Katy On a Mission, which is one of the best club(bing) songs I've heard this year. So yay and good luck, Katie!!
But then, among all those interesting artists, there's also this guy that I'd never heard of before. His name is James Blake, and he is the most exciting thing I have heard in ages. His music is strange, haunting, bizarre, complex, experimental, a bit weird, and I am completely in love with it. There is something irresistibly compelling about it, and as soon as I got hold of the (self-titled) album, I could not stop listening to it.
Here, have a go. I am quite awed by him and his talent and his sound.
