Blake Mills: The Producers

With numerous credits already to his name, Blake Mills became a top-tier producer when he teamed up with Alabama Shakes for Sound & Color, one of the most unique-sounding rock albums of the 2010s. He has since worked with Jim James, Perfume Genius, Laura Marling and John Legend, all benefiting from Mills’ talent for filtering roots music—rock, blues, soul or folk—through modern electronic textures to create a deeply atmospheric sound.
