James Blake - Instagram Live (April 6, 2020)

I don’t know how James Blake stays so focused while the live comments keep rolling in and people are shouting YOU ARE MY BIOLOGICAL FATHER!!! or dumping crying emoji on the screen like they’re an emojinal (c) dump truck that gets paid by the load. Fave moment: when background audience member 1 (of 2) Jameela Jamil starts shouting “YAAAAAY! Oops! Are you finished?” at the end of his Joy Division cover and he still had a chord to go. Cute.

Also cute: he sings the bit from “Forward” not used in 'Beyoncé’s “Lemonade”.

Setlist:

Georgia on My Mind (Ray Charles)

I’ll Come Too

Atmosphere (Joy Division)

Life Round Here

Forward (from Lemonade)

Retrograde

Say What You Will

Are You in Love?

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Roberta Flack)
