In an interview with Billboard during the Bonaroo music festival, James Blake has revealed that his forthcoming album is about "50 percent done" and should be released by early 2015.

“I’ve had a completely different life since the first album. I’ve had a lot more freedom since the first album, too,” Blake said in describing the album. “The [album] I’m writing now, I’ve had more focus doing this than I have before. I’m having more fun.”

Blake also announced that he will be having some high profile collaborations in the future, among them Bon Iver, Kanye West and an artist who he refused to reveal, but was quite excited about.
