Mercury Prize and GRAMMY Award winner James Blake has just announced his new album, Friends That Break Your Heart with its lead single ‘Say What You Will’. The album is expected 10 September on Polydor Records.

The song is a powerful exploration of constantly comparing yourself to others and putting yourself down. As usual, James Blake's vocals are stunning, moving from low to high in ‘Say What You Will’ with total ease. The contrast between the sombre tone of the song and the light-hearted music video gives it that extra punch.

James says: “The song is about finding peace with who you are and where you’re at regardless of how well other people seem to be doing. Comparison really is the thief of joy.”
