James Blake plays three new songs live, incorporating a Radiohead cover
The singer covered ‘Videotape’ and played the new tracks at a series of West Coast US gigs.

Over the last week, James Blake has played a series of West Coast gigs in the US, and has been dropping new songs into the set.
Over three San Francisco gigs, and one in Los Angeles, the singer, who released new album ‘The Colour In Anything’ back in 2016, played three new songs, called ‘I Can’t Believe That We Float’, ‘Asking For A Friend’, and ‘Black Lung’.
In the last of the new tracks, the singer attached a cover of Radiohead’s ‘In Rainbows’ closer ‘Videotape’. Blake supported Radiohead at a series of European shows earlier this year.
In terms of upcoming support slots, Blake is set to join Kendrick Lamar’s European leg of the ‘DAMN.’ tour in February and March of next year, a run which includes two shows at London’s O2 Arena, and one at Wembley Arena.
