Look, I love the moody Mr Blake as much as the next person, but there’s something about Assume Form that I just can’t get sick of. Every listen and every track just hit somewhere special. It’s a true pop ascension for Blake that feels honest to who he is; masterfully crafted and articulate without the typical watered down mess that comes from most seasoned artists looking for a way to increase their audience.

This was my most listened to album of 2023, contenting with many other UKG greats. As noted by other reviews, this straddles the line well between club and at home listening. ‘Good Lies’ and ‘So U Kno’ are top tracks for sure, but even sleepers like ‘Walk Thru Water’ and ‘Calling Out’ will have you hooked.
