James Blake - Trying Times (Dinked Edition)'Trying Times' is James Blakes seventh studio album and features British rapper Dave, and singer songwriter Monica Martin. Written between Los Angeles and London, its a record about being in love whilst battling the limits of the self against a backdrop of global uncertainty. He explores the tension between intimacy and isolation, the pressure to curate and perform even as everything, inside and out, feels fragile and precarious. Themes of reflection,

then taking it further asking

from songwriting to trading vocal duties and swapping instruments to sound and visual art design

 The songs are interspersed with snippets of dialogue from the film

just in case you’ve forgotten about The Ramones

Or takes another turn with the tightly arranged opening segment of “Long Highway”

the album's lyrical themes began to move away from nature and Satanic elements and began to incorporate more mystical themes

Hand in hand

With the demand for original boss reggae sounds from the late 1960's on the rise over the past decade
