I think James Blake is a Soulful artist. I believe this because of the way the shadow hides half of his face and he looks like he is staring into the distance and is deep in thought. This gives him a mysterious look as well as the fact that he is wearing dark clothes. He has cool hair that looks like a birds nest. His nose has extra meaning because it is as if he is also frowning and thinking about soulful things. Because the image is set out side, and because it is set in autumn, James Blake has a hoboish aura, which makes it seem like he is getting his ideas from his outdoor surroundings.

The characteristics of the video are based around a narrative with James Blake singing to the camera through part of it. This meets the needs of the record label because there a lots of close ups of the artist. This also has characteristics of the soulful genre because he is singing directly to the audience and shows he is speaking his mind. He is wistful.
