The possibility of a Kanye West and James Blake collaboration sounds glorious.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the “Life Round Here” singer revealed Yeezus contacted him about doing a song together.
The only qualm James has about the once in a lifetime offering is that he actually wants to collaborate with Kanye in the studio, as opposed to the new age method of recording separately and emailing the work.
“I have been in contact with him… You know, the way that I like to work is bare bones and personal. I think because Kanye’s such an accomplished producer, if I was to work with him, then I think we could do something together, and just together, you know?”
James also dishes about various hip-hop artists who have reached out to him throughout the year.
“Honestly, I spend so much fucking time talking about Kanye West and Chance and Drake,” he said. “People ask me so much about it, but really up until this point, I haven’t had any time to act on any impulse, so all I can say is we’ll see and watch this space but there’s things coming. I’m really excited. My monotonous tone of voice won’t show you that, but I’m excited.”
Over the past year, James and Chicago newcomer Chance The Rapper forged an unbreakable friendship, and are planning to move into a “musical compound” together in Los Angeles.
