Far and Wide: The Liberation of James Blake

Revered UK singer, songwriter and producer James Blake joins Steve Wide on Far and Wide to discuss his new single Thrown Around.

The single marks James’ first official release as an independent artist under his label CMYK, in a conscious push to have more ownership over his music and creative practice in an age where corporate interests are more ingrained in the music industry than ever.

Listen back to hear James discuss going indepdendent, the state of the industry under late-stage capitalism and how we can fight back against the music industry being spun into what he calls a "closed-network marketing platform".
