This has been a while coming, eh Jamie? With a host of remixes, collaborations, covers, revered live shows, and a quartet of his own tracks to boot, Jamie Smith has built up to this, the announcement of his debut solo LP, for quite a time. Since his beginnings with Mercury-winning The xx, the producer has slowly but definitively started making his own way as a solo artist, gaining more attention and adoration with each new track.

An album release show in London and a countless number of high profile festival slots are already shoed in, and releasing the album on the first day of June can only be seen as a statement of intent: it’s going to rule the summer. All this preparation and expectation is set to make 2015 quite a year for Jamie xx, and here’s why we’re so excited about him and about ‘In Colour’.
