Jamie xx, real name Jamie Smith, has announced the tracklist for his recently announced debut solo artist album In Colour. While the album is primarily just Jamie xx solo tracks, it will feature his the xx bandmates Molly Madley-Croft and Oliver Sim and also a rather unexpected collab with Atlanta rapper Young Thug and Jamaican dancehall artist Popcaan. The tracklist was announced on Jamie xx's Instagram where he posted a bunch of random colors and within each picture was a hashtag. That hashtag linked to a collage of more images with the same color and the track title is found within the tiles. Pretty cool idea, Mr. Smith and Co.
Smith took to the British airwaves yesterday to premiere two new songs from the LP - "Gosh" and "Loud Places" with Annie Mac on BBC Radio One. "Loud Places" was premiered as the hottest record in the world and you can listen to it below and short interview after where Smith says his emotions about releasing the album range from, "relief, exciting and extremely scary."
"Sleep Sound" was released in May 2014 as part of two-track EP on his label home Young Turks, an imprint of XL Recordings. Young Turks will release In Colour some time in June. An exact date has not been confirmed yet.
Expect to hear some more new music from Jamie xx this weekend as the "Girl" producer takes over the BBC Radio One's revered Essential Mix show for a special back-to-back edition with Four Tet.
