Last year, Blake said that the album would be called Radio Silence and performed the track ”Radio Silence“ live. (The title has changed since then.) Blake debuted the recorded version of “Radio Silence” on Annie Mac’s show, as well as “I Need a Forest Fire,” a collaboration with Bon Iver. In an interview with Annie, he revealed that he worked with Rick Rubin on the album. Listen to the interview below. 

Blake has been steadily releasing new music over the past few months, starting with “Modern Soul” back in February, followed by “RPG” with UK rapper Trim and “Timeless.” Last year, Blake also said that Justin Vernon and Kanye West would appear on the album.

Three tracks (“Radio Silence,” “I Need a Forest Fire,” and ”My Willing Heart”) were released on Spotify this afternoon. Update 5/5 4:27 p.m.: They are now on YouTube. Listen below:
