Limit To Your Love, James Blake
As a side note, I wouldn't listen to this on your laptop speakers, it loses all of its impact. Make sure you have some heavy bass on or you'll completely miss out...
This song may not be his most creative, especially in comparison to his two earlier EPs. To start with, it's a cover of a Feist song, and through most of the song it's just James Blake singing accompanied by a piano. But it's when the bass kicks in that this song reveals itself. It's simply one of the best bass lines I've heard: it's so deep, so subtle, so groovy. And it's rare that this would get matched by such a moving vocal. It's this combination of the classical pop song with the modern; the popular colliding with the modern electronic scene which makes this song sound so fresh. It's so stripped back, so naked, yet so loud, so emotional. Quite easily one of my favourite songs of 2010.
