Will the collaborations appear on third album?

There's some rather exciting third album news from James Blake - the electronic musician has confirmed he's been working with Kanye West and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon during sessions for the record.

Speaking to Billboard ahead of his performance at Bonnaroo festival, Blake also revealed the follow up to 2013's Overgrown is roughly halfway finished. The most exciting revelation, however, are his collaborations with Kanye ("sporadically...if he's around") and Vernon.

The news comes after Blake recently told Rolling Stone he had reached out to West after the rapper described Blake as his "favourite artist" in a radio interview in 2013.

There's also a mystery third artist he's been working with but can't name - however, he did say he is "really excited" about it. Interesting.

Blake's last record, Overgrown, was released in 2013 and was awarded that year's Mercury Prize.
