James Blake Is Locked Down In Love On 'You're Too Precious'

James Blake has released his first new song since Assume Form and it's impossibly tiny and romantically large at the same time. "You're Also Precious" is as adorable as its name sounds, along with a loving, hair-stroking ode to a partner that Blake just can't get enough of. While in social isolation now, I bet that there really are a lot of people who can indicate with this feeling.


Sitting across the room from your spouse, you can't help although notice what you love about the shape of their face, the color of their eyes, and the fullness of their lips. Inspired by this infatuation, Blake's whispering bliss here's like a kiss on the forehead for the person that warms his heart. "You're also precious, You're also precious, precious," he practically moans on the chorus. Gripping their face in his hands, he can't help nevertheless enjoy everything about them.


As much as Blake loves his partner, he realizes that he might not directly be worthy of their love. "I don't think they deserve you/ I don't think anyone could," he sings before frantically explaining what he would do for them. "I'd take the calls you don't want to/ I'd take the hair in your food." That's so sweet.


He spends the rest of the song blazed off of the scent of his lover's fragrance. He wants to be their bubble and is ready to "dive into diamonds." I can imagine someone proposing to this line, in particular, soon after each play on YouTube.


Blake revealed to Apple News that the song was actually inspired by the thought of being with each other while in our current quarantine. "I wrote this song at 5 a.M. And yes it brought me a lot of peace," he mentioned. "Thought it can be a nice accompaniment to a lockdown dinner."


Blake's Assume Form dropped last year. It featured songs like "I'll Come Too," "Can't Believe The Way We Flow," "Barefoot In The Park," and more.
