James Blake Talks Frank Ocean, Kanye and Beyonce

James Blake recently opened up about working with Frank Ocean, Kanye West, and Beyoncé and the inspiration he drew from all of his collaborators for his new album, The Colour in Anything. In a new interview with Pitchfork, Blake revealed it was actually working with Ocean that inspired him to spend time with other engineers for his own album. "[He] was a huge inspiration for this record: his process, the way he writes, the strength of what he does, who he is. We became very good friends," Blake said.

Blake has been helping Ocean write his long-awaited new album as well. Fortunately, he revealed that it will absolutely be worth the wait once it's done noting, "He is onto something, he really is."
