On Christmas Eve, James Blake shared a video of himself covering Don McLean‘s Vincent van Gogh tribute “Vincent.” We missed it while baking cookies for the Grinch.

The song follows Sufjan Stevens‘ “Tonya Harding” in the category of artists paying biographical tribute to cultural figures. A trend to watch in 2018? Here’s looking forward to Eminem‘s inevitable single “Robert Mueller.” Watch Blake’s cover below.
