We have a few more hours left until James Blake releases highly anticipated fourth studio album, Assume Form. The singer spent the majority of 2018 in the cut, but he did release a few tracks to hold fans over as well as a few high-profile guest appearances. As we approach the release date, Blake's released a slew of singles including his latest one, "Lullaby For my Insomniac."

"Lullaby For My Insomniac" is the latest offering from James Blake's forthcoming album, Assume Form. The singer's latest single serves as the album's closer. It's not a grandiose record by any means, instead, Blake hones into his minimalist styling over warm piano chords while his soothing vocals grace float over the production.

Earlier today, Blake took to Zane Lowe's Beats1 show to premiere his single, "Mile High" featuring Travis Scott and Metro Boomin. Assume Form also features appearances from Moses Sumney, Andre 3000, and Rosalia. Keep your eyes peeled for the album dropping tonight.

It's not a failure if you can't
In any case, you will at some point
