For me it's the mix, mostly. But of course it's also the sound selection and the playful sequencing. But a lot of people put their hand to the latter, while it's the former that truly elevates the entire approach and reveals a chaotic yet extremely palatable presentation. And it's that resulting dissonance that reveals an almost euphoric contradiction that makes my brain giggle with delight.
As a man of 56 and almost 57 this tune reminds me of "pre-social media" dance music. Back then, what happened in the club STAYED in the club. Jamie's tune is slightly too urgent in delivery for me but those buttons were pressed, as it were. I'm glad I'm not young anymore and if you still are then make the most of it: you're here for a good time, not a long time!
This was my immediate thought too! It's a little different than your typical afrobeat, but very much in line with that specific south african twist on it with the snare rhythm. Do you know if that south african beat has a specific name? my cursory google searches haven't turned up anything
Not to burst your bubble but this was for a Chanel campaign (hence the logos on the tape) but at least it seems he’s broken through the creative block that held him back over the last few years
I love this track. Listened to it last week whilst designing my City, doing my art work and re-editing my book. Perfect beat for mixed mindsets and relaxation.
I just got chills listening to this song! Idk how to explain it but Jamie xx feels like a friend and when I played this song I got so freaking pumped for my boy! I was jumping up and down in my car so stoked, yelling “let’s go!” While listening to this song haha
Ron, to that feeling, I'd say listen to some Amapiano or Kwaito. Your life will never be the same...and would also see where Jamie got his inspiration from 🤗
This is the 76th time in a row I listen to this gem like the turns in the digital counter displayed in the cassette. What a combination of different sounds mixed with a majesty touch. Good way to start this 2024. Cheers mate
Yesssssaaa!!❤️☝️😆💥 Listening from my phone on a very cold and early morning in Ontario, Canada...can't wait to blast this in my car on the way to work!! 💥👊💥👊💥
such a welcoming sampling for 2024!! clean, crisp, textured, eclectic and distinctive palette!!! it's a bright light piercing thru the clouds. love it!!! great job!!!
Classic sounds mixed into something "new". Its like 90's piano mixed with drum and bass and both old-school and new-school house. Not to "cheesy" either.
I need an album right now! I've been anticipating a full length release for a long time! No one does it like Jamie xx, no matter what. ⚜
In Colours is still a weekly sometimes daily play
agreed @@Princesspandapop
Amen
This track won't be on the album
In Waves 🎉
3:09 I thought he changed tempo but NO. He brought it back syncopated 😩
Bro dropped 5 tracks in 1. Classic.
Genuinely, I cannot explain what it is about Jamie XX's music, but it just makes me feel like I can take on the world.

its so good
I can't explain it either, but I feel the exact same way
That explains it quite well. Well done@@eafortson
Vv nv n5b@@claytronifon
please don't disappear for another 2 years, the world needs another album!
Especially in those times we live in. Its a light in the darkness
New album was supposedly getting the `finishing touches applied` more than a year ago (NME)
@@chrism2567 good thingst take time bro. Were not machines like you wish
New album coming out in september!!!
Jamie xx has never missed. Been listening since he was the genius behind the production in a great indie group when I was a kid
I'm so glad the future of electronic music is in safe hands. Magnificent tune
Your use of samples is always so unique. They don't have to be particularly long or repetitive, yet you still find a way to make them memorable.
This man GETS IT. Jamie’s songs take on a life of their own. The subtleties and nuances don’t go unnoticed, here or ever.
Enlightened cat.
sounds to me like a nice mixture of moderat/apparat meets 90’s dance anthem. would love to hear it in a context of an album.
Totally hear apparat and moderat in this, that choppy broken up sound. Jamie seems to employ that quite a bit in his music
Dude totally bit south African amapiano house, tho I dig it a lot😂
modeselektor + apparat = moderat
@@glebpetrov7594 Thank you, I actually didn't know this.

feel you on the 'too urgent' - well said
such a good comment!
another fart sniffer!
Brilliant words!
Was blasting away at xx lastnight and started wishing he had a new song song then wake up to this. Love it.
Ok mate.... Then wish for a frigging new album tonight... Let's hope for the best... I'll keep watching my notifications 😉🤪
And please make sure you are dreaming about Jamie new album AND The XX new LP as well 😁
What a blast! Creative, surprising, multi-layered, a masterpiece painting turned into sound! Thank you Jamie!!!
This is South African music meets Jamie xx. I love the beats! Honestly.
It is haha, very Africa Nigerian South Africa or w/e

@@JoshDauer riiiight?? Glad that it is not just me hearing it.
@@JoshDauer The SA genre called ''Gqom''.
My king is back. Jamie XX is here to save us
This is quite the voyage. Takes turns you’re not expecting. In a very satisfying way.
Best efootball music ❤
The breakdown at 3:17 is my favourite part. Playee it for my mates today and they all love it
That shift has blown my mind
Dude totally bit south African amapiano house, tho I dig it a lot😂
Those trumpets though, fire!!!
Please drop an album this year, my life literally hasn't been the same 2015.
I have never seen a title so fitting for a song. It's so f***ing good!
Can't wait for the new album...you sting out the releases and then can't stop playing them...genius!
Not to burst your bubble but this was for a Chanel campaign (hence the logos on the tape) but at least it seems he’s broken through the creative block that held him back over the last few years
@@mach1nefan well aware and likely to be more on the way
As opposed to the smell of a turned-off fog machine? Interesting.
Hopefully this isn't the only thing jamie releases in 2024😢
As I grapple with sadness...this track hits the radio and I feel a glimmer of happiness
It’s so good

Great sound. I like this simplicity and multi-structure at the same time.
It makes me so happy that people like yourself are out there making music like this in todays horrible world.
dont be so pessimistic Ron its ok
Take your precious life, heal yourself and you will naturally heal others. remember you dont have power on things outside of your control
Imagine few centuries before, you're lucky you're here now ^^
Ron, to that feeling, I'd say listen to some Amapiano or Kwaito. Your life will never be the same...and would also see where Jamie got his inspiration from 🤗
It's not the world the issue it's the people that make it horrible, without people the world will keep spinning around the sun but peaceful.
Jamie xx is an incredible talent.
Reminds me of "Meute" (a german marching band that plays electronic music on wind instruments) in the beginning.
To me this a total Meute track.
Bro I cannot stop listening to this and it just gets better every time I listen to it. Absolutely powerful man 💪🏼👌🏼
I just rediscovered Jamie XX 2 days ago and In Colour has been on repeat. What a surprise for me to get a new song today!
Me too bro
in colour its a masterpiece!!!
you are so lucky !! i wish i could listen to it for the first time
Keep coming back to this, it’s Sooooo good
IT IS SO GOOD. I was just thinking about new Jamie and here we are lol
this is jamie xx at his best here. latin percussion mixed with classic piano house vibes. delightful song.
Oh yeah those squeaky rain drops on my rolling eyes make me spin again. Fantastic!
Jamie xx been part of my life for so long is surreal
From listening to Intro (the xx) for the very first time when it was fresh to now. So grateful for it all.
His best track! Masterpiece of electronic music!
This is the 76th time in a row I listen to this gem like the turns in the digital counter displayed in the cassette. What a combination of different sounds mixed with a majesty touch. Good way to start this 2024. Cheers mate
I love your individuality and creativity! You are so talented and it’s so wonderful to hear your work! Thank you!!
very special sounds, that just touch this synapses in a way that little manages to these days!
OH WOOOOWWW !!! I freaking love this track, this give me so much JOY and ENERGY ! I cant stop listen this gem
Fair dose of South African house in there. I'm loving it so much.
100%
If it wasn't for eFootball, I would've missed a gem for sure. A banger for sure, added to the Playlist and new subscriber, cheers.
P.S. Visca BARCA!😊
Your work is immaculate. Can't wait for the album.
Ohhhhh LORRRRRD ! Love the mixtape Vibesssss, reminds me of when i hit the record button and ended up with a Masterpiece of Goddddd like this ❤
This is the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life.
I lived as a musician and ended up failing. This person is one of the few geniuses who still inspires me.
SO GOOD!!

You dared to live it, you didn’t fail!
You haven’t ended your journey yet

10 seconds in to my first listen and I'm already smiling
omg. the use of that sample is so freaking classy. its that icecream chick? just love it
So good, can't wait for the album.
I fell in love with this brand new sound! I could dance to this, 'till my feet can't hold me no more🌊
This is the most amazing body of musical work I have ever listened to in my entire existence on earth. I can’t stop moving my body.
I'm so addicted to oh my gosh and the behind the scenes. Glad he's still making bangers in his way
Crazy sample of PinkyDoll, Jamie xx back at it!
I thought it was the corn kid at first lol
@@SadNachos omg you made me doubt, did not even think about it!
I can already feel the special edition vinyl in my hands
Your not allowed.
The title says it all, Jamie doesn't miss! Just waiting on that next album 👀
New Jamie XX!! We must have been good boys and girls this year. This needs to happen more frequently.
Banger! On my Week 02 playlist of the best releases of the week!

Amazing new track. Thank you so much for coming back
This song feels very mechanical, and I love it!
This reminds me of Bacadi music from South Africa. So good!
Absolute musicality genius right here 🙌🏼👌🏼 wowzers
such a welcoming sampling for 2024!!
clean, crisp, textured, eclectic and distinctive palette!!!
it's a bright light piercing thru the clouds.

Absolutely great tune. The sound at 1:55 reminds me of Manuel Göttschings E2-E4
First song on my favorites of 2024 playlist.
It's so good!
Love it! Did I hear some brazilian funk vibes on this song?
Jamie xx's tracks are the few where the maker is in the music you feel the emotion its almost a conversation and I often can relate on a musical level
Let’s start the day with these beat, its so good 😉
WHEN IS THE ALBUM DROPPING!!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!! YOU'RE KILLING US :)
So fresh and such a timepiece
This is so good, that's not even fair
Can you do something Jamie XX??? Keep makinng these awesome tracks!!!!!
He's back great track
💥💥💥💥💥another banger jamie xx track that will spend a decade on every playlist of mine. It’s so good
Listening to this whilst watching the snooker... big improvement!!
Classic sounds mixed into something "new". Its like 90's piano mixed with drum and bass and both old-school and new-school house. Not to "cheesy" either.
I just fell in love with these beats
A perfect tune to mashup with The XX - Intro
Masterpiece!!!!! By a real artist.
jamie doesnt miss
1:50 sounds like a high pitch noise from a dolphin or a humpback whale, I wonder if he he used their sound as a sample
Amazed...great vibe, melodic and a Nice beat
This song.. it's so good
ITS SO GOOD 🖤🙌🖤🙌🖤
This is ART!
Reminds me of The Knife Shaking the Habitual. Good job Jamie XX
There’s definitely something Knife-y about the squeaking synths.
Jamie XX delivers.
I'm playing this on loud in the streets of South Africa 🇿🇦
Definitely Cape Town Johanness :))
Listen to Omunye by Destruction Boys...the drop reminds me of this song! Afrobeats by Jamie xx
WOOO!!!!!!! It’s FRIDAY SOMEWHERE! Amazing TY really hit that spot ! 🎉 it’s so good !
Its so good, literally. Also that change up at 3:19 🤌
I couldn't believe it myself! Very few can pull off polyrhythms in such a masterful way
