Jamie xx: In Colour LP

In Colour is the Young Turks/XL Recordings 2015 debut album from Jaimie xx. The eleven track LP was issued on the back of an incredible six year creative period, which saw him alternate effortlessly between his role as founding member and producer of The xx, and creator of more electronic and club orientated music as Jamie xx. With In Colour – a bold, celebratory, emotional record that features collaborations with The xx band mates Romy Madley Croft ("Seesaw" and "Loud Places") and Oliver Sim ("Stranger In A Room"), Young Thug and Popcaan ("Good Times") and Four Tet ("Seesaw") – Jamie delivered his definitive artistic statement.

 

“In Colour doesn’t feel like my first album because it’s the end of six years’ work. It’s about all of the music I’ve been inspired by in that time; the people I’ve met, the places I’ve been. I’ve gone from being a fan of electronic music, admiring great artists and producers, to feeling like I’m a part of their world. In Colour is about transition and transformation - going away, coming home, going away again, coming home again - and how that journey changes me every time. I love touring, and the places I’ve visited, but when I’m on my laptop I’m always thinking about home or music. I love being in a band, being a producer, being a DJ. This album is about all of that. In Colour isn’t the end of an era, it’s the start of what’s next.” - Jaimie xx
