Jamie xx released his stunning debut album as a solo artist today, In Colour. Stream it above, via Spotify and Young Turks records. Combining electronic dance music with aesthetics of psycheelic rock, reggae, hip hop, and indie, this is an LP that crosses boundaries and delivers an immersive experience with a wide range of colors and feelings.
Highlights include the album's first singles, "Girl," "Sleep Sound," "Gosh," "Loud Places" (featuring Romy), and "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)" (featuring Young Thug and Popcaan). However, this is an album that is much more than the sum of its parts. Songs play off one another, as the tension builds and releases beautifully over the 42 minutes from start to finish.
Support this fine artist by purchasing In Colours on Amazon (Vinyl, CD, MP3).
