It's been nearly three years since James Blake released his last project, The Colour In Anything. Fans have been eagerly waiting for his next release and the wait is finally over as his follow up, Assume Form, drops tonight. Ahead of the album's release, James Blake hit up Zane Lowe's Beats1 show to premiere a brand new track titled, "Mile High" -- one of the most anticipated collaborations on the project. Blake recruits Travis Scott and Metro Boomin' for some assistance on the track. Travis Scott and James Blake previously collaborated on Astroworld highlight, "Don't Try To Be God."
Assume Form also features appearances from Andre 3000, Moses Sumney, and Rosalia. Sumney appears alongside Metro Boomin' on "Tell Them" which follows "Mile High" on the tracklist. Blake previously teased his collaboration with Andre, "Where's The Catch" during a DJ Set in December prior to announcing the album.
Assume Form drops at midnight EST.
Quotable Lyrics
Fell in love overseas
Ass fatter than a peach
Ocean water kind of deep
Rollin' up out the reef
Put me down straight to sleep
