MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM

JAMES BLAKE | JAMES BLAKE, 2011

This record blew my mind when it first dropped. The unpredictable arrangements and synthetic moods really impacted me when I was first dipping my toes into the world of production when I was in high school. More so than any particular song on this record, James Blake's development musical (and career-wise) from this point really stuck with me. Going from this to collaborations with Travis Scott, Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar and more is hugely inspiring.
