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. 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: http://vevo.ly/pLPSXr.
Graffiti6 will spend December on the road as support for Latin singer-songwriter Ximena on her U.S tour. The trek starts December 5th in Birmingham, AL, at Workplay and runs through December 22nd at Schubas in Chicago, IL. Graffiti6 will also play at the Cosmopolitan Hotel November 30th and December 1st (full schedule below). Graffiti6 has spent the last few months traveling between the U.S. and Europe playing shows and festivals as they prepare for the release of Colours.
The seven-track “Free” EP is currently available.. It includes both the radio and stripped-down versions of the title track, acoustic versions of “Lay Me Down,” “Annie You Save Me,” and “Stone In My Heart,” a cover of Fleet Foxes’ “Blue Ridge Mountains,” and a brand-new song, “Foxes.” Graffiti6 have had their songs played on popular TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Covert Affairs, CSI: NY, One Tree Hill, and MTV series Teen Wolf. MTV has also featured the group in its Freshmen 5, Artist to Watch, and Push campaigns.
