Jamie xx shares ‘I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)’ featuring Young Thug and Popcaan

Jamie xx has shared a new single, titled ‘I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)’, taken from his upcoming debut solo album ‘In Colour’.

Featuring Young Thug and Popcaan, the new cut was premiered by Annie Mac on her Radio 1 show this evening, as the world’s ‘Hottest Record’.

Tying together elements of rave, soul and gospel, ‘I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)’ presents a mix of colourful pop samples amongst snappy, melodic beats and ecstatic steel drums that are fast becoming the staple of Jamie xx’s favoured percussive sound.

Jamie xx will release ‘In Colour’ on 1st June via Young Turks. Pre-order the album here from iTunes and listen to ‘I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)’ below.
