James Blake is releasing a new album, Friends That Break Your Heart, on September 10 via Republic. Now he has shared its second single, “Life Is Not the Same,” via a lyric video for it. “Life Is Not the Same” is a collaboration with producer duo Take A Daytrip. Listen below.

Previously Blake shared the album’s first single, “Say What You Will,” via an amusing video that guest stars FINNEAS, in which Blake is envious of the producer/musician’s success. “Say What You Will” was one of our Songs of the Week.

Friends That Break Your Heart follows his 2020 EPs Before and Covers. Blake’s last album, Assume Form, came out back in January 2019 via Republic. Artist Miles Johnston designed the cover art for Friends That Break Your Heart, working closely with Blake to capture the vibe of the album.
