@James Blake predicted a bleak future for recorded music as fans seek ways to connect through non-digital means.⁠ ⁠ "Watching someone live is so far away from the phone and streaming, but it's not that far away from a vinyl that was pressed," Blake said in an interview with Apple Music, comparing direct-to-vinyl and digital recording processes. He argued that the former has an innate connection to the artist, since there are minimal recording steps between the listener and the music itself.⁠ ⁠ "My connection with an audience happens in the room... It's why I get up in the morning," Blake said regarding being able to translate his work to a live environment. ⁠ ⁠ To promote his new album, Blake will tour in North America in late May and early June.⁠ ⁠ -⁠ via @Apple Music ⁠ ⁠ ⁠#pigeonsandplanes #jamesblake #livemusic #tryingtimes #newmusic
