Dave sits alone with his thoughts, haunted by the same voices that visit him in sleep. 'Voices' moves through a catalogue of emotional familiarity: heartbreak on speed dial, suffering as a blood relative, pain as an old acquaintance. The repetition of the chorus, "I hear voices / And the voices / They say you're everything that I need", traps him between desire and the intrusive thoughts that won't leave his head. The track traces a path from paralysis to small acts of recovery. Early verses catalogue his intimacy with struggle; later ones mark a turn toward optimism, a deliberate choice after years of wrong decisions. There's a specificity to his self-examination, moving from abstract emotional geography into the texture of his own life: growing up around sweets and cling, the small vanities of club nights, the particular mathematics of attraction. By the end, the voices remain, but they no longer own him entirely.

Pulp to perform 'HELP(2)' tribute as full Newcastle line-up confirmed.

From Bon Iver to Normani, these collaborations show the different routes James Blake has taken into other artists’ worlds.

Twelve albums are in the running, with the ceremony heading to Newcastle in October.

The main stage becomes The Grid as the festival introduces custom-built dance space The Warehouse.

Dylan John Thomas and Fiona-Lee are also among the latest additions.

New single 'Back Together' arrives with a black-and-white video featuring the rapper's mum.
