}} ''In Colour'' is the debut studio album by English record producer and The xx member Jamie Smith, better known as Jamie xx, released on 29 May 2015 by Young Turks. Composed over a five-year period, ''In Colour'' debuted at number 21 on the ''Billboard 200'' and received critical acclaim upon release. The album produced five singles: "Girl", "Sleep Sound", "Gosh", "Loud Places" and "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)". ''In Colour'' debuted at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart, selling 19,255 copies in its first week.〔 〕 In the United States, the album entered the ''Billboard'' 200 at number 21 and the Dance/Electronic Albums chart at number one, with first-week sales of 19,000 copies. ==Background and composition== Smith produced the xx's debut album, ''xx'' (2009), "by accident" after sessions with other producers including Diplo were unsuccessful. Later in 2009, Smith began his solo career when he remixed Florence and the Machine's "You've Got the Love". Smith was invited by XL Recordings owner Richard Russell to remix Gil Scott-Heron's 2010 album ''I'm New Here'' in its entirety. The resulting album, the electronic-based ''We're New Here'', was released in 2011.〔 He released his debut single, the double A-side "Far Nearer" / "Beat For" in June 2011. The following year, Smith used samples from ''We're New Here'' on Drake's "Take Care", which became a US top-10 hit. ''In Colour'' was composed over a five-year period, with Smith struggling to finish the music once he had started making it.〔 Smith wanted to make an album that sounded like it did not come from any particular era. Smith used vocal samples from British media sources that he had encountered while away on tour. The vocal sample at the beginning of "Girl" is taken from an episode of the British drama television series ''Top Boy'', and "Gosh" features a clip from a BBC Radio 1 programme called ''One in the Jungle'' that was never aired.〔 "Seesaw" was recorded in collaboration with Kieran Hebden.〔 "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)" is based around a sample of The Persuasions' 1971 song "Good Times" from their album ''Street Corner Symphony'',〔 which Smith had bought in Detroit.〔 The song features vocals by American rapper Young Thug and Jamaican musician Popcaan, which were recorded separately and spliced together by Smith and YektroBeatz. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「In Colour (Jamie xx album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
