Jamie xx has just released a new single titled ‘It’s So Good’ through the Young label. The track is the soundtrack to Chanel’s latest campaign COCO CRUSH, which launched globally yesterday. The single is Jamie xx‘s first since ‘KILL DEM’ and ‘LET’S DO IT AGAIN,’ both of which were released two years ago. Fans will be thrilled to hear this track, which features a modern glitchy twist that builds tension through stop-and-start rhythm. According to Jamie, the track draws inspiration from Brazilian funk samples.
In addition to Jamie xx’s exciting new music release, fans of the XX will be happy to hear that Romy, another member of the group, recently announced that they are working together again. The group’s last release was their studio album ‘I See You’, seven years ago. When speaking to NME, Romy said, “I still think you’ll be able to tell it’s us, but I think we’re excited to move it on and keep it feeling fresh. I think Oliver [Sim] and Jamie [xx] and I have all tried new things and learned a lot from different projects, and I think that’s quite healthy to be like, ‘What have you learned? What should we do now?’” She added that she is excited to start again and that the album is still “wide open.”
Jamie xx has kept a busy touring schedule recently, performing at various locations throughout North America. He has performed as a headliner for concerts such as the Re:SET Concert Series and also supported popular LCD Soundsystem and Idles. Fans can now enjoy his latest release online.
