I'm really excited for this. I like what I've heard so far and his productions are always interesting to listen to.

Looking forward to this! "Loud Places" is really good and it's one of my favourite songs at the moment. He also revealed the music video of "Gosh", which it's great as well.

"I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)" leaked. Listen here.

Even though we've already heard 5/11 of the tracks, this remains my most anticipated album by a long way.

[Juan Carlos]

A song from the album will be the Hottest Record on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show next Wednesday according to the description of the radio programme posted on that day. Not sure if it's "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)" or not.

[Juan Carlos]

Well, it turns out to be "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)", which was chosen as the Hottest Record on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show today.

Love pretty much everything I have heard from Jamie XX especially "Loud Places" with Romy. I cannot wait to catch him at Bonnaroo in a few weeks.

"Loud Places" makes me realize how much I miss The XX. These kids consistently put out amazing music.

[Active Aggressive]

I am very interested in this and I hope to catch a live rendering of it in a small, intimate, indoor setting. The xx were one of the worst acts that I saw at a music festival - all that bass does not belong outdoors. Everything else got drowned out and sounded muffled.

[peacebone]

I have big hopes for this, every track that has been released so far has been great.

Currently streaming as a 'visual album' on iTunes. Too bad I don't have a second to stop & listen!

Album of the year for me! (so far- though it'll be a high bar to reach).

"Stranger In A Room" <3

[Juan Carlos]

The album debuts at #3 in the UK, while "Loud Places" reaches a new peak of #62 there.

From Music Week/BuzzJack Music Forum:

The xx's Jamie Smith's first solo album In Colour - credited to Jamie xx - opens at number three (19,255 sales). The band's eponymous first album reached number three in 2009, and follow-up Coexist reached number one in 2012. Smith received a co-artist credit on We're New Here - his re-interpretation of Gil Scott Heron's I'm New Here - which reached number 33 in 2011. "Loud Places" (feat. Romy) is the first single from In Colour and makes its Top 75 debut this week, moving 122-62 (7,589 sales).
