Jamie xx Shares New Album 'In Waves' + Single 'Waited All Night' ft. Oliver Sim & Romy
Stirring huge emotions and tsunami-like nostalgic feelings by virtue of its even existence, In Waves is the second album from Jamie xx, who reunites with his The xx bandmates Oliver Sim and Romy on new lead single 'Waited All Night'. The UK superstar's first studio long player since 2015's now-classic In Colour, Jamie xx generates exuberant dancefloor heat with help from a raft of special guests, including Robyn, The Avalanches, Panda Bear, John Glacier, Kelsey Yu, Honey Dijon and Oona Doherty, plus neo-soul icon Erykah Badu on 12" bonus track 'F U'.
Leading with the momentary tranquil shimmers of 'Wanna', In Waves unfolds as a love letter to the soul-energising, unifying power of club culture, bringing elements of disco, house, big beat and hip-hop together in Jamie xx's studio melting pot. 'Baddy On The Floor' sounds designed to shake you by the shoulders to get your body moving, 'All You Children' could be a lost Avalanches classic, 'Life' is a rejuvenating club-pop banger and the aforementioned 'Waited All Night' speaks to yearning feelings on the dancefloor. Carefully crafted over four years, In Waves is in some ways akin to visiting another era with fresh eyes and renewed intent, joyful listening and no doubt irresistible when blasted through appropriately massive speakers. The deluxe vinyl edition includes five bonus tracks — order your copy HERE (also available on CD) and hit play below...
"Thank you to my two best friends and musical siblings, Oliver and Romy. It's wonderful to have the gang back together, working in new ways, working out new lives, I wouldn't be here without them."
'In Waves' is out today digitally, on CD and in multiple vinyl formats via Young, orders available HERE.
