Ukas coverlåt, uke 45: James Blake : "Limit to Your Love

Se: James Blake / "Limit to Your Love"

Dette er en av de fineste coverne jeg har hørt! Det er producer / alt-mulig-mann James Blake som har lekt med Feist-låta "Limit to Your Love". Jeg fant den på Pitchfork og det er flere enn meg som er forelska. Joe Colly skriver:

"Limit to Your Love" puts Blake's vocals front-and-center, and as it turns out, he's got a really nice voice. Warm and range-y. The obvious comparison is Jamie Lidell, but Blake is less showy, more inward. Singing next to just a few handpicked sounds-- a simple piano melody, a couple of drums, and a rattling sub bass-- he turns Feist's jaunty original into something tense and brooding. His approach is so minimal that it's almost cocky: After each verse, he lets the song go silent for three, maybe four seconds, creating this incredible tension where you really crave the next sound. And for all the careful craft, there's still warmth-- even soul-- to this track, and it's that combo that makes Blake one of the most dangerous guys out there.

Da tror jeg det meste er sagt allerede!

Bonus for måten Blake nesten svelger ordet "waterfall" på. Og for den fine videoen, med planten på pulten som lukter sitron når man rører ved den (ja, det er jo noe man bare vet!).
