Jamie xx has teamed up with Erykah Badu for a new single called ‘F.U.’. The collaboration came about at a Primavera Festival after-party where both Jamie and Badu were scheduled to play; when Badu’s equipment broke down during her set, she was forced to continue with an impromptu vocal performance. Jamie recorded it all on his phone and, after reconnecting with Badu in London, turned it into a track during the In Waves recording sessions. Take a listen below.
‘F.U.’ appears on the deluxe edition of In Waves, Jamie’s second LP, which is available digitally for the first time today. It includes another new song, ‘Do Something’, along with the previously released singles ‘It’s So Good’, ‘LET’S DO IT AGAIN’, and ‘KILL DEM’.
