James Blake Drops Surprise 'CMYK 002' EP
The four track release features a hidden collaboration with rapper Lil Yachty.
UK producer and musician James Blake is back with more new music in the form of EP CMYK 002.
While many assumed it was a follow-up to his 2010 tape CMYK, Blake has gone on record as saying his latest four-track release, which he is calling Let Her Know EP, is actually a standalone effort.
Blake took to X to clarify things, posting “CMYK 002 is not a sequel to the original EP CMYK. My independent imprint is named CMYK, and this is my second release on it (the first being 001 – Thrown Around).”
FYI CMYK 002 is not a sequel to the original EP. ‘CMYk’ My independent imprint is named CMYK, and this is my second release on it (the first being 001 - thrown around)

Just to clear that up for anyone confused by it 😆
The EP contains four tracks – ‘Let Her Know’, ‘Don’t Co-Write’, ‘Dream (Move My Feet)’ and ‘Foreign’. Lil Yachty, who has teamed with Blake for the pair’s forthcoming collaborative Bad Cameo EP, makes an uncredited appearance on ‘Dream (Move My Feet)’.
The release of CMYK 002 comes just days after Blake played a mammoth 12-hour set on the weekend at New York City’s Knockdown Center which included cameos from Mura Masa and Montell Fish. He is heading back to the UK for an intimate courtyard dance party at the Archives warehouse in London this weekend before the release of his and Yachty’s Bad Cameo EP on June 28.
