Graffiti6 - a collaboration between singer-songwriter Jamie Scott and songwriter-producer TommyD - has announced the track-listing and a release date of January 24th, 2012, for its upcoming Capitol Records debut album Colours.
Exclusive: Graffiti6 Interview + Live Review
In a five-star review, London newspaper The Independent raves that Colours - a mélange of pop, psychedelia, R&B, and British Northern Soul - is "an assured debut album that sparkles with invention and throbs with emotion," predicting that it will "be on many Year's Best lists." Please see below for a complete track-listing.
Colours includes the first U.S. single "Free," which is currently No. 21 at AAA radio and was the most added song in its first week at the format.
Currently in rotation at such influential stations such as KINK in Portland, KBCO in Colorado, WNWV in Cleveland, and KCSN in Los Angeles, "Free" was also "Pick of the Week" in USA Today, which praised the track's "melodic bassline and singer Jamie Scott's exquisite falsetto breaks."
The video, which was shot in downtown Los Angeles premiered this week on VEVO. Watch now on BandWeblogs.com.
