James Blake Litherland (born 26 September 1988) is an English singer, songwriter, t and record producer from London. He first received recognition for a series of 2010 EPs including CMYK and Klavierwerke, and he released his self-titled debut album in 2011 to critical praise. His second album Overgrown was released in 2013 and awarded the Mercury Prize. He released his third album The Colour in Anything in 2016. His fourth album Assume Form was released in 2019.
James Blake builds on the material released by Blake as three EPs in 2010: The Bells Sketch, CMYK and Klavierwerke. All three EPs have differing musical styles. Mike Powell of online music magazine Pitchfork noted it was "amazing" that so much material could be released in such a short period of time. However, despite the amount of music released by Blake in 2010, most of the material on his debut album is completely ne. .

The album is heavily inspired by James Blake’s relationship with actress Jameela Jamil, whom Blake has been in a relationship with since 2015. On December 4, 2018, James Blake announced a North American tour that stretched from February to March 2019. This announcement ignited rumors of an ensuing album since Blake had not released an album since early 2016.
