Building Something Beautiful for Me is the fourth album by London-based electronic musician Loraine James, released on 7 October 2022 through Phantom Limb.

It was conceived as an homage to the works of composer Julius Eastman and received acclaim from critics.

[2] Uncut stated that James's "light, airy palette, punctuated by arresting stabs and scattershot rhythm, is informed by vintage Squarepusher and Plaid – but Eastman's pioneering work as a black, gay musician operating in challenging times clearly resonates with James".

[7] Reviewing the album for The Quietus, Claire Sawers described Building Something Beautiful for Me as an "at times stunning electronic album that continues [Eastman's] radical, minimal legacy, while Anglifying some of his messages" as it is "a gentler listen by comparison" although "with some anger still there".

[3] Joe Creely of The Skinny wrote that the album "fares far better the further it strays from replicating Eastman's work", concluding that it "feels like something of a minor work in James's already imposing output, but remains a pointer to both her and Eastman's sparkling talents".
