"Before" couples together powerful love ballads and impressive production value, culminating in a masterful addition to Blake’s discography. If Assume Form allowed Blake to do just as its title suggests, then Before allows the artist to burst forth more confidently than ever.
Before beautifully dovetails Blake’s knack for sentimental song making and his DJ roots as a production powerhouse, culminating in a sincere musical effort that categorically showcases the artist’s maturity. Through his production prowess, Blake suffuses his experiences with an added potency, curating a narrative that feels equally accessible and unparalleled. James Blake has an omnipotent way of tapping into ubiquitous sentimentality, and Before finds him settling even more comfortably than ever before into this role.
