JAMIE XX + ERYKAH BADU

Jamie XX has teamed up with Erykah Badu for a day-glo chugger that sounds like it’ll be a staple in the festival sets this summer.

Jamie says: “A few years ago, I was playing at a Primavera afterparty in Barcelona with Erykah Badu. The decks stopped working and she just freestyled this incredible acapella performance, fully improvised, just her and the mic. I managed to record a bit of that, and it became the basis for the track. We connected about it when I was finishing the album and it became a track I really love.”

Nice tale that, eh? Nice and organic. Always nice to hear things like that happening in the wild. All that’s left for you to do is press the play button.
