James Blake - 'The Colour In Anything'

[Juan Carlos]

Third studio album by English electronic music producer James Blake called The Colour In Anything, which comes out tonight.

From Pitchfork:

James Blake has announced that his new album The Colour in Anything is out tonight. Yes, when the clock strikes midnight GMT, the follow-up to 2013's Overgrown will be released. Blake revealed the news on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show this afternoon, confirming rumors of the LP title and imminent release following the appearance last week in London and New York of billboards featuring artwork by Roald Dahl illustrator Sir Quentin Blake.

Omg omg

Love James. Didn't realize his new album was coming this soon. 2016 is bringing TALENT.

OMG OMG OMG.
This made my day

[Juan Carlos]

The album is on Spotify.

[Heart Shaped Box]

Really interesting listen. Love the combo of his voice and his production.

[Active Aggressive]

I'm really trying to get into him. Wasn't a fan of the stuff I have heard from him before but I respect his contributions to Lemonade so I'm gonna try to give him another shot. His voice is really not my cup of tea though.

[when the pawn...]

I usually like 3-4 songs off each of his albums but listening all the way through gets tired...I think it'll be the same for this new one, based on my first listen. I like him a lot, but he's not the kind of artist I go to for full-album listens.

[Active Aggressive]

He's won me over with this album. I take back anything negative ever said. Wow.

[SHOOTER]

I get why people like him. It's an "eh" for me. Production is dope though.

The album has been delivered to Triple A radio according to Republic Playbook. As a side note, it debuts inside the Top 20 in the UK (#13) and Australia (#16), as well as Ireland (#16) and The Netherlands (#20).

From Music Week/BuzzJack Music Forum:

After consecutive Top 10 debuts for his eponymous first album (No.9, 15,940 sales) in 2011, and 2013 follow-up Overgrown (No.8, 9,599 sales), James Blake's surprise third album The Colour In Anything makes a less strident start, debuting at No.13 (5,373 sales). Without any prior singles to trigger interest, and as CD became available only at the very end of the week, that's probably about right.

From Noise11:

(...) whilst three places lower at No.16 is another British act in James Blake whose his third album The Colour in Everything become his third chart entry here after his self-titled set (HP-32, Feb 2011) and then Overgrown (HP-5, April 2013).

Radio Silence is one of the best things since sliced bread.

Debuts atop on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums.

From Billboard:

James Blake bolts in at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart (dated May 28) with The Colour in Anything (9,000 sold, according to Nielsen Music). It's the second No. 1, and fourth top 10, for the British singer-songwriter (not to be confused with the retired American tennis star), who also opened on top with his last album, Overgrown (14,000, 2013).
