It’s not easy to make good art about being happy, but James Blake seems to be managing just fine. Last year’s “Assume Form” was nothing less than a triumph. This new single - ”You’re Too Precious“ - is amazing, too. It sounds like a melancholic trip, but it’s actually about loving someone so much you want to be better so you can make their life easier, taking some of their load. Sweet James, it’s good.
