James Blake released “Death Of Love”, accompanied by a striking live video directed by the creative duo Harrison & Adair, featuring the London Welsh Men’s Choir against the minimalist backdrop of an office. The performance highlighted the emotional intensity of the song and previewed the sound of his upcoming album, Trying Times.

Trying Times explored the unstable space between intimacy and isolation, capturing the pressures of modern life with a blend of hope and unease. The album showcased Blake’s ability to articulate emotions with disarming clarity, moving through themes of love, comfort, and the fragility of security amid global anxieties and personal doubts. It demonstrated his expansive artistry and vision, balancing soulful expression with experimental soundscapes in a deeply resonant record.

A GRAMMY-winning producer, songwriter, and musician, Blake had already cemented his place as one of contemporary music’s most influential voices. His unique fusion of soul, electronic, hip-hop, and alt-R&B spanned six landmark studio albums, including the critically acclaimed Assume Form and Friends That Break Your Heart. His transcendent vocals and visionary production earned collaborations with Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, SZA, ROSALÍA, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, and Ludwig Göransson, contributing to iconic albums like Blonde, DAMN., ASTROWORLD, Lemonade, and Motomami.
