This little beauty was released on Atlas records last year in the fall. I am going to let the words of another reviewer, who did a great job, describe the track as they took the words out of my mouth.
"This is a sparkling beauty. A futuristic crooner incarnation by excellence. Like slowed down, liquid mercurial soul, with sparse, phenomenally stripped-down sound spacialization (a lot of air here, breathing silences, incredibly moving textures and density), and a voice that spreads emotion and pain like Harry Connick Jr was actually human and devastated.
This reminds me of the blast when Massive Attack or Portishead's smokey and desolated yet shiny electronic soul appeared, and you can almost bet that this one might age even better as it sounds more to the bone, fragile, cosmic and refined (and sample-free).
James Blake totally reappropriates the Feist original and turns it into this novelty : a true, rare, accurate, universal 21st century love song." restless from discogs reviews
James Blake is both muscially and visually stunning, check out his website and see for yourself. Funny thing is, I was introduced to this track when i started checking out Daniel Bortz (db) and ran into his edit of the track while i was checking out his music for my dj sets. It is a very nice edit that keeps the feeling of the original intact while getting the tune in shape for a dancefloor/party/gathering/bedroom. Love how the lead in of the track uses the piano sample to warmly stab into the track. This one is vinyl only to my knowledge, drop needles, support vinyl. Coming soon to Keine Rechte 003. The flip side is hot as well.

Lastly, if that is not to your liking and need a bit more tech in your house, Scuba from Superfreq LA makes a solid effort of this remix. The bass bends your ear as the stabby vocal samples echo throughout the beautiful space Scuba creates in his percussive interpretation of the JAM.
