Info for All The Colours Of You

James are proud to announce the release of their new album All The Colours Of You. Their 16th studio album All The Colours Of You, following on from the release of LIVE In Extraordinary Times, a live recorded version of their last studio album Living In Extraordinary Times, which peaked at #1 in the midweeks.

Billed as a “miraculous conception” by Clifford-born frontman Tim Booth, it was recorded in part before the Covid pandemic struck, with the Grammy award-winning Jacknife Lee on production duties with the Manchester band for the first time.

Lee has been at the desk previously for U2, REM, Taylor Swift, Snow Patrol and The Killers, and has brought a fresh approach to James’s sound. Working remotely from his studio, he liaised with vocalist Booth, his neighbour in Topanga Canyon, California, and bassist Jim Glennie, reimagining their demos and capturing the band in all their virtual glory.

“The result is a record with the most arena-ready and fresh tracks of their 38-year career; the sound of one of Britain’s best bands deconstructed and reassembled by one of the world’s most renowned producers,” proclaims the press release.

Booth says: “With all the s**t that went down in 2020, this was a miraculous conception and another big jump forward for us on the back of the last three albums. I hope it reflects the colours of these crazy times. Sweet sixteen is a proper album, no fillers and is up there with our best. With love, Tim.”

Glennie is pleased, proud and surprised by the record in equal measure. “Jacknife has pushed us and the songs somewhere new and it’s very exciting,” he says. “After all these years, we are still challenging ourselves and our fans. Enjoy.”

James

James
is a British rock band from Manchester, England. They formed in 1982 and were active throughout the 1980s, but most successful during the 1990s. Their hit singles include "Come Home", "Sit Down", and "She's a Star" as well as their American college radio hit "Laid". Tim, Jim and Larry continue to write lots of new material and even get to record a couple of new tracks for a proposed re-package of 1998's 'Best of'. Following the departure of lead singer Tim Booth in 2001, the band became inactive but re-formed in January 2007, returning for a new album and international tour. Up to 2010, the band had sold more than 25 million albums worldwide.

James are one of the country’s best-loved indie rock bands. With a collection of well-known anthems and an unbelievable live music showcase, James have acquired a reputation for the unhinged and the magnificent. The British band have cut their teeth at some of the biggest venues around the world, having come through the Manchester music juggernaut – with the likes of Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses. After a couple of band changes, the band took flight with the release of their second EP James II which brought them a feature article in renowned music magazine, NME.With streams of positive reviews following the release of the bands three opening EPs, the hot-shot band sent out their debut album, Stutter in 1986 to an excited fanbase. The band reached number 68 in the UK Album Charts. The band gained cult status in Manchester having entertained at the Manchester Polytechnic and at other iconic city venues. By the mid-eighties, James had performed at the Brixton Academy, London supporting New Order. They had won many admirers, not least the likes of Johnny Marr and Morrissey. The band went on to support The Smiths on their Meat is Murder tour in 1984.Their rise as a support act was cemented when they earned critical acclaim and became a fixture on the festival scene. James took to the stage at Glastonbury and W.O.M.A.D and headlined concerts in Germany while maintaining their stellar home-town reputation. 1989 saw them return to their roots and bring out an album, One Man Clapping which they financed independently. The album reached number one in the independent charts. By 1991 the band had brought Manchester to a standstill with 5000 revellers dancing in the streets to the band’s rooftop gig at Piccadilly Gardens.The band leapt back into the charts, notching their total involvement in the album charts up to a total of 172 weeks, and the single charts to 90 weeks. The band then made headway on the international scene, as they reached fame in the US – performing at the legendary Woodstock and such. And by the Millennium they became one of the first western bands to tour China when they headlined at the Heineken Festival in Beijing. They took to Spain’s Benicassim, headlined the Electron Festival in Greece, a charity ski event in Geneva and at Centurion Supersport Park in South Africa.
