James Blake has announced a new album, Friends That Break Your Heart, which will be out in September. It’s his first full-length since 2019’s Assume Form, though he put out two EPs last year: a dance-pop offering called Before and a collection of covers. Blake is calling Friends That Broke Your Heart a “concept album.” It features guest appearances from SZA, JID, SwaVay, and Monica Martin.

Today, he’s releasing a new single, “Say What You Will,” which he first performed in one of his Instagram Live sessions last year. Its music video co-stars Finneas, aka Billie Eilish’s brother. Blake 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.” Check it out alongside of Blake’s upcoming tour dates below.
