British singer-songwriter and producer James Blake's unique blend of gentle R&B vocals with deep bass and minimal rhythmic dubstep elements has made him a leading figure in the post-dubstep genre. His evocative 2011 self-titled debut has been credited with transforming 2010s pop music into the darker, more harmonically rich sound we've heard in the past decade, solidifying his status as one of the most sought after producers in the game. This week, we go Back To Back through his ever-evolving genre-melding discography.
