With over two years having passed since the release of his critically acclaimed 2019 album Assume Form, UK singer, and electronic musician James Blake returns with his fifth studio album Friends That Break Your Heart. Said to be a concept album, it features 12 tracks including collaborations with SZA, JID, SwaVay, and Monica Martin. As the first taste of the album, the projects lead single "Say What You Will" hooks listeners into what Blake has to come. The song's deep production glides in and out as the focus of the track to make room for Blake's stunning vocals. "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," Blake says. "Comparison really is the thief of joy."
