After a long anticipation, Jamie xx has announced his new
album In Colour. I couldn't be anything but excited. After forging the way
for the iPod generation of music makers Jamie xx has pursued his obsessive
and all encompassing adoration of dance music. In an interview with i-D he
claimed For me, it used to be simply
music. I would enjoy it more if I was on my own. when speaking about
going to clubs solitarily. This appreciation for a genre which often gets
overlooked for it's artistry has brought us one of the most soulful and
creative producers of a generation. His Sleep Sound EP released at the head of
last summer was excellent and still holds one of my favourite songs Girl- which
hits me with a wave of romance and smiles.
Patiently, Jamie has worked and re-worked his debut In
Colour to be able to release it this June. And he's released two killer tracks
to go along with it. First off the blocks is Loud Places featuring xx
collaborator Romy on haunting but verging on dull vocals. The next is club
banger Gosh, which is indescribable and powerful.
I think this will be an impressive and interesting album
with features from Young Thug and Four Tet, and of course Romy and Oliver from
the dreamy xx.
