James Blake releases 'Godspeed' cover; fans call it 'one of the most beautiful songs'

James Blake has released the song Godspeed after years of fans asking him to release a full version of the song. The singer and songwriter had once covered the beautiful song back in 2017 during a concert where he performed. Since then fans have asked for his cover of the song. The original was sung by Frank Ocean and was very popular among fans. Thus, when James Blake released a stripped-down version of it in 2017 fans were eager to hear the full version along with a proper cover of the song. Thus the day has finally arrived after years of waiting as the singer has officially released the song on his Youtube channel and streaming services.
