Ok, so I'm cutting it close to still being Monday, and this is not exactly the Monday Mixtape, but it's something better: a beautifully haunting album by a lovestruck Brit with some great pipes, James Blake.

This album isn't for everyone because of its electronic elements and auto-tuned voice that Blake uses at times, but the album's flow, delicacy, and arrangements are something special. I always thought Blake to be a tad bit overrated, but this album proves me wrong and showcases his abilities in a way I had never heard before. I think it's my favorite album of the year to date.

Give it a try this week!
