Though the song Retrograde by James Blake came out in early 2013, the English singer-songwriter’s hit has dramatically risen to the top of music charts in the US and across Europe. Classified in both the electronic and R&B genres, it is no surprise that Blake has been mentored by both Justin Vernon and Kanye West. This PorchDrinking playlist pays homage to artists that deserve considerable attention as they remind me of Blake’s noteworthy sound.
