James Blake, You’re Too Precious | Track Review

Grammy and Mercury Prize winning British musician James Blake delivers another intriguing record with “You’re Too Precious.”

The 1975 return with a remarkable seventh single from their fourth album (Notes no a Conditional Form), “If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know).”

The Killers return with “Fire in Bone,” the worthwhile if somewhat quirky second single from the band seventh album, Imploding the Mirage.

Singer/songwriter Declan McKenna comes through once again on “The Key to Life on Earth,” the second single from his sophomore LP, Zeros.

Alternative collective Wallows, led by singer/actor Dylan Minnette, return with a bang in 2020 with the surefire, infectious bop, “OK.”

Joji delivers “Gimme Love,” a third impressive single released in advance of his highly anticipated sophomore album, Nectar.

Alternative singer/songwriter Omar Apollo drops his first single in 2020, “Imagine U.” Once again, he strikes gold.

In a time filled with anxiety (COVID-19), Twenty One Pilots’ “Level of Concern” helps to assuage; it’s one of the grooviest songs of 2020.

The 1975, assisted by Phoebe Bridgers highlight Christianity and sexuality add odds on the thoughtful “Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America.”

Indie/alternative rock collective Bright Eyes returns with its first song since 2011, “Persona Non Grata.” The results are superb.

Brandon Flowers and The Killers make a compelling return with “Caution,” the promo single from their 6th studio LP, Imploding the Mirage.

Gifted and totally woke teen musician Isaac Dunbar delivers an alternative pop bop tackling internalized homophobia on “Makeup Drawer.”
