Since the release of his self-titled first album in 2011, Blake has become recognised as one of the decade’s major new talents.
Besides recording two globally successful albums, he has received widespread critical acclaim and won or been nominated for a series of top honors at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and Ivor Novello Awards.
His second album Overgrown, which was released in April 2013, featured Brian Eno and RZA and was led off by the acclaimed single Retrograde.
Sony/ATV creative director Tyler Childs said: ‘James Blake is one of the premiere artists of this generation. We’re thrilled to work in partnership with him and Dan and for the world to hear all of James’ incredible new songs.’
Blake’s manager Dan Foat added: ‘I had a great Sony Walkman when I was younger and we’re really looking forward to working with Sony/ATV.’
Ahead of a third studio album, which is expected to be released in 2015, Blake premiered an untitled track on BBC Radio 1 in July, while he revealed in an interview he had been collaborating with Kanye West and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon.
