Ranked No. 4 in IDM
An R&B pastiche with the vocal processed into something inhuman, sold as a pop single. James proves he can do the thing he is refusing to do, which is the only way that refusal is worth anything.
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
An R&B pastiche processed into something inhuman and sold as a pop single. Proof that he could do the thing he spent a career refusing to do.
Picked by Warp
A genuine pop single, with a Chris Cunningham video on daytime rotation, made by the artist least interested in being one. The label's tenth year, and it is still signing off on things nobody could have planned for.
