As James Blake’s “Solo Piano” tour finished its American run, the British performer visited Jimmy Fallon at 30 Rock for a stirring rendition of “I’ll Come Too”. The track is off Assume Form, Blake’s excellent album from earlier this year.
While the short “Solo Piano” trek lived up to its name, presenting songs with just Blake at his instrument, Wednesday night’s Tonight Show performance saw him with full support. He was backed by a string section, drummer, and synth player as he sang front and center at the mic. Amazingly, this did just as much to highlight Blake’s mesmerizing vocals as performing alone, especially when the lights faded on the band to leave him standing in the spotlight. Watch the replay below.
