Composition[]

Tracks from In Colour spans across different years in Smith's life, with "Gosh" and "Loud Places" representing where he was at the moment.[1] The chorus sampled American jazz drummer Idris Muhammad's 1977 song "Could Heaven Ever Be like This".[2] This use of sample was said by Thump's Angus Harrison as "particularly poignant" when Muhammad's death was less than a year ago.[2]

Release[]

On 25 March 2015, Smith premiered "Gosh" and "Loud Places" on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show.[3]

Music video[]

The official music video for "Loud Places", lasting five minutes and four seconds, was uploaded onto Jamie xx's YouTube channel on 27 March 2015. It was directed by Simon Halsall with JB Babenhausen and produced by Craig Dixon.[4]

In the video, Smith and Croft can be seen riding skateboards while getting covered in confetti. Smith shared: “Before we made music together, from the age of like 13, Romy and I used to go out and skate."[1]
