Manchester music marvels James have performed five songs live exclusively for Absolute Radio to celebrate the release of their phenomenal new album ‘All the Colours of You.’

Recorded just for us, James played a trio of songs from the newly released ‘All the Colours of You’ – the sublime album title track, ‘Beautiful Beaches’ (both of which are playlisted on Absolute Radio) and ‘Getting Myself Into’.

Alongside the new songs, James also treated us to rousing renditions of their 1993 anthem ‘Say Something’ and their 1997 single ‘Tomorrow’.

Together with performing live, James frontman Tim Booth joined Danielle Perry for a chat last night (3rd June) to celebrate the release of ‘All the Colours of You.’

He told Danielle that it’s one of the musical zeniths of James’ distinguished 39-year career.

“We think we've made one of the best records we've ever made - easily, actually,” Tim said. “And we're thrilled. We've been releasing it drip by drip to tease and to excite and to show a new sound. It's wonderful."

You can watch more of Tim Booth’s chat with Danielle Perry RIGHT HERE where he also discusses how he saved producer Jacknife Lee’s family from a rattlesnake and how he drinks alien spawn tadpoles to help his voice.
