Originally released on 29th May 2015, 'In Colour' quickly established itself as a modern classic - a kaleidoscopic journey through UK dance culture that continues to resonate with fans and critics alike.
It received widespread acclaim upon its release: Pitchfork awarded it Best New Music, hailing it as “a dazzling and deeply emotive record that reimagines the club as a space of memory, euphoria, and introspection.” Rolling Stone praised its “masterful blending of genres and eras,” Mixmag crowned it their best album of 2015, while NME called it “a modern masterpiece.” The album appeared on countless more year-end and decade-end best-of lists, cementing its status as one of the most important electronic releases of the 2010s.
Featuring standout tracks like 'Loud Places' (featuring Romy), 'Gosh', (with its epic Romain Gavras-directed music video) and 'I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)' (featuring Young Thug and Popcaan), 'In Colour' struck a rare balance between underground credibility and crossover appeal. It earned Jamie xx multiple GRAMMY, Brit and Ivor Novello Award nominations alongside a shortlist for the 2016 Mercury Music Prize. A decade later, 'In Colour' endures not only for its production brilliance but also for the emotional depth it brought to the dancefloor – a record that transformed a personal love letter to UK club culture into a global, generation-defining statement.
