Review
In Colour by Jamie xx is like stepping into a vibrant, neon-soaked dreamscape. This album isn’t just about the beats; it’s a whole vibe, pulling you into these lush, textured soundscapes that hit you in waves. Jamie’s got this knack for layering sounds, blending UK garage, house, and a touch of soul into something super personal yet universal. From “Gosh” with its euphoric, driving beat to the chill nostalgia of “Loud Places” with Romy’s vocals, you feel like you’re riding a sonic rollercoaster through the streets of London at dawn.
Jamie xx brings in influences from all over, and it’s like he’s inviting us into his world, track by track. “Seesaw” is pure bliss, almost hypnotic, and it pairs so perfectly with “Obvs,” a track that feels like a heartbeat, pulsing through your chest. Every song has its own color, its own mood, but they all connect, telling this unspoken story. It’s subtle yet intense, like he’s saying more with the silence between the notes than with any lyrics.
In Colour is a love letter to electronic music, no question. Jamie xx took the beats from the club, broke them down, and built something that’s both intimate and expansive. You don’t just listen to this album; you feel it. Perfect for late nights, long drives, or just getting lost in your head. - Ash
