Jun 2, 2015The greatest album of the year for me! I love The xx so much, and Jamie suprise me with how perfect he can be. An artist that should be reconize for all the world, because he's so good with music, production, songwriting. I loved it and I'll love it till the end of time. ♥

Jun 16, 2015What a gorgeous debut. The tracks are all really well-crafted and everything on here stands out in a way. I even like the Young Thug track, and I really don't like any of Young Thug's own material. Must-have.

I'm just kitten. This album is pretty good. It's a 9/10 in my book. The only hindrance is Young Thug playing in one of the songs. Of all cameos....... Young Thug? Really? Could be 10/10 album, yet tainted by one choice.. If you're going to be hipster and edgy and make good tunes with rappers, bring back Nas -
Jun 2, 2015I think In Colour is a modern classic & one that music lovers & discoverers will look back on in years to come - similar to how the Chemical Brothers Dig Your Own Hole has.

Jun 2, 2015Raw, gritty and yet somehow comforting.
Jamie's glasses may be rose tinted, but they're convincingly scratched. He aches for the 'good old days' but he's hardly ever sentimental. A good, honest ache. A 5.30am smoking area ache. -

Jun 5, 2015Wow, Jamie has expanded the xx universe. It's so much fun to see him work. I want to listen to this every day for a while, and wait for what he does for the next xx album.
-
Jun 2, 2015This is probably one of the year's best albums.
Jamie xx's music doesn't hold back. His music packs a punch full of emotion, creativity and intelligence.
This is the kind of refreshing album we need in a time when EDM a very tiresome and formulaic genre is taking over.
This album is definitely up there with other albums like Burial - Untrue and Four Tet - Rounds. -

Jul 7, 2015I was underwhelmed by In Colour. It sounds like a mixture between Washed Out and Tycho. I had high expectations prior to listening, but I simply was not that interested after several listens.
-
Jun 2, 2015One of the most wide-spectrum'd album of the year. It has so many genres, so many diversified synths and beats that it fulfills the function of more than one album. It is pristine, well-scoped. It achieves so much with so little.
Definitely the best album so far this year. -
Jun 2, 2015I know there's gonna be good times when you listen this album. The greatest album of the year so far. You can feel the colours of jamie when you listen to it.

Jun 2, 2015Great album! I love the texture he creates with his sound. The guest features by XX members are great. The album flows really well and the song genres are varied. I also loved his use of samples. Young Thug's appearance is also great. I recommend this album.

Jul 3, 2015Best album of 2015 thus far. There are no dud's on this album. From start to finish, every vocal, sample, note, beat and even the spaces between them all has been arranged by a master craftsman. As close to a perfect album as I've ever heard.
-
Jun 11, 2015In Colour is just that: colorful. An enjoyable mix of electronic and pop tracks with absolutely stellar production, this record really proves that Jamie can pull off an impressive solo effort. Not every song is fantastic (Stranger in a Room), and it is a little under-ambitious, but it is overall a really great album - one of the best of 2015.
-
Jun 22, 2015This sometimes feels perhaps a little too cornered to the accessible area, and additionally a little too smooth a flow but still it's a beautiful listen,
-
Sep 29, 2015Never an electronic albums has hit me this hard in the brain. Is great, fun, challenging and most of all, expressive. I knew nothing about Jamie xx before I heard this album, and now, I'm just sitting here listening it a lot, along with The xx albums, waiting for more.

Jun 2, 2015Beautifully produced and written by the 1/3 of The xx. The house music is relaxing and the beats are just as good as you think. This album will be all over the best end of the year album lists.

Jun 30, 2015Jamie's experimentation pays off during this record.His sounds are sometimes mesmerising and rarely repetitive or dull.One of the greatest albums in a year of great albums.
-
Jul 30, 2015In Colour is the only album in 2015 to push the boundries of what dance music can be. This album has so many songs that can make you feel a whole spectrum of emotions. And, "Good Times" is the best song on the whole album. A great focus on production and rhythm.
-
Sep 16, 2015A truly fantastic album. He got it right the first time round, and got it almost perfect. You cannot even skip the songs, you want to listen to every one. One of the best albums of this century, let alone this year. An 87 is way too low!
-
Sep 5, 2017An album that never disappoints, from start to finish, it holds a consistent element of what music can become when it has the right elements and a magnificent production. Overall its what it can be considered as a perfect body of art.
-
Dec 10, 2015Simply great, not much else to say. Almost every song in this album sounds very unique and amazing. The Young Thug song is honestly the only song I didn't enjoy that much.

Aug 25, 2022A beautiful abundance of great production and heavenly features ,beyter than anything released within his the XX collaboration only because it experiments in ways james perhaps couldn't before.

Jul 14, 2015A modern pop echo chamber, In Colour pushes the pleasure principle with ease, intelligence, grace, and a myriad of reflections that become one spectrum. RIYL: anything.
-
Jun 25, 2015While the tale and methods of In Colour are well-worn, Jamie XX, like Burial and Four Tet before him, proves himself a master storyteller.
-
Jun 18, 2015As it moves from reflective to engaging and back again, In Colour covers the entire spectrum of Jamie xx's music, delivering flashes of brilliance along the way.
