In response to a tweet the outlet later shared, stating, \"@jamesblake discusses his latest album 'Assume Form,' how his girlfriend Jameela Jamil inspired the record, and teases new music,\" Blake further clarified his message.

\"Not just inspired it - she actually worked on it,\" he wrote. \"I even said it in the interview, but people focus on 'inspired' because the idea of the 'muse' is so romantic and pervasive.\"

He continued, \"Women who help their partners with their album, being a sounding board and often their only emotional support during the process, almost invariably go uncredited, while majority male producers come in and make a tiny change to a track and they're Mr. golden balls.\"

Shout out to all the partners who selflessly placated a musician during a very self absorbed process like creating an album, who got the title 'muse' afterwards which basically amounts to being an object of affection while the musician exercises their 'genius'.

The artist then gave a shout-out to artists' other halves who have \"selflessly placated a musician during a very self-absorbed process like creating an album, who got the title 'muse' afterwards which basically amounts to being an object of affection while the musician exercises their 'genius.'\"

The \"Good Place\" actress clearly appreciated his acknowledgment. She shared her support, writing, \"I love this man a lot. He's a proper feminist.\"

Plenty of other artists on the platform seemed to relate, with many retweeting Blake's posts, thanking their partners for their support in their work.

Artist Labrinth wrote, \"I love this... my wife is a massive reason why I've even got the finish line on a lot of the music I'm releasing.\"
