47 Albums That Made 2019 Seem Almost Bearable

"There's a lot to love about James Blake's fourth studio album about, well, love. Since his debut in 2011, Blake has become known for his heartbreaking electronic songs — 'crying in the club' would be a fairly accurate way to describe his unique genre. Though Assume Form still has languid bangers for people who discovered his music by way of frequent collaborators like Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott — who appears on 'Mile High' — the album is more an unabashed celebration of romance, intimacy, and all those wonderfully clichéd feelings." — Kelsey Garcia, trending and viral features editor
