Jamie xx has released ‘Dafodil’, the fourth single from his upcoming second album.
‘In Waves’ is set for release on 20th September via Young, and follows on from Jamie xx’s debut album ‘In Colour’, released nine years ago.
The new track features collaborations with Kelsey Lu, Panda Bear, and John Glacier. Jamie says: “Dafodil was one of the first pieces of music that I made for this album, it was actually the song that made me realise I could finally make another album. I am forever grateful to Kelsey Lu, with whom this song began as voice notes about a hazy night we both remembered. Thank you to John Glacier and Panda Bear whose voices perfectly evoke the unique feeling of summer nights in London.”
Kelsey Lu adds, “Dafodil. A fun ride into a cute sexy hazy night in London shared with my dear friend Jamie xx. Memories of my first London summer I’ll cherish forever that are now encapsulated for us all to be in ecstasy together. See you on the dance floor.”
The new album comprises 12 tracks and also features collaborations with Robyn, The Avalanches, and Jamie’s The xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim.
Jamie xx has been promoting the album through a series of global events, including The Floor residency in London, New York, and Los Angeles. He has also confirmed festival appearances and headline performances, including two shows at London’s Alexandra Palace on 25th and 26th September.
