In a new interview, James Blake has confirmed collaborations with Kanye West and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon for his third full length, Radio Silence.
Up until this week, information on the new release from the Mercury Prize winning songwriter has been scarce. Blake has been debuting the title track, 'Radio Silence' at live shows for a while but we have not since heard anything recent about the record.
The Redditors of /r/HipHopHeads uncovered an interview from Esquire with Blake confirming both Justin Vernon and Kanye West as guests. See a picture of the interview below.
When asked about the potential collaborations, Blake set the record straight saying: “I can confirm that they’re on it. Kanye - I’m with him today. We’d already started on something … today we should nail something down. If it doesn’t end up on the album you know it hasn’t worked."

On a less 'hype' note, Connan Mockasin is also involved. Radio Silence has no official release date but we can expect it by the end of 2015.
James Blake and Justin Vernon have previously worked together on a collaborative track called 'Fall Creek Choir Boys' while Vernon and Kanye have linked up on numerous occasions. Vernon has production credits all over Yeezus, as well as providing vocals for West's Sensational 'Lost In The World'.
