The British musician James Blake will take the stage at OGR Torino with his Piano Solo show - an intimate and evocative experience that will showcase the depth of his voice and the refinement of his compositions. This promises to be an emotional journey through his repertoire, featuring unique arrangements and moments of pure artistic intensity.
James Blake - a producer, singer, and songwriter - is known for his signature style that blends electronic, soul, and hip-hop elements, pairing his ethereal voice with deep bass and minimal rhythms. He rose to prominence in 2011 with his self-titled album, winning over audiences and critics alike with his ability to innovate and experiment. His second album, Overgrown (2013), earned him the prestigious Mercury Prize, while subsequent works such as The Colour in Anything (2016) and Assume Form (2019) further cemented his international reputation.
Blake has collaborated with some of the biggest names in contemporary music, including Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, and Travis Scott. His versatility has allowed him to explore a wide range of genres and sounds, leading up to his recent album Playing Robots Into Heaven (2023), which marks a return to his electronic roots and received a Grammy Award nomination. In 2024, he released Bad Cameo, a project created with Lil Yachty that fuses sophisticated electronic textures with mumble rap.
OGR Torino - renowned for its atmospheric setting and exceptional acoustics - will provide the perfect backdrop for this exclusive event by this true musical visionary. A rare opportunity to experience one of the most influential and forward-thinking artists of our time live.
