By the Numbers
Five of the eleven tracks carry Smith and nobody else, the most self-contained writing in his catalog. The other six list the writers of the records underneath them, which on "The Rest Is Noise" reaches back to Alicia Keys and the songwriters of "Stranger in Paradise". He produced, recorded and mixed most of it himself.
In Colour came out in May 2015 on Young Turks after six years of singles. It debuted at number three on the UK Albums Chart with 19,255 copies and entered the Billboard 200 at 21, topping the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart. It was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
