Hit of the summer is given yet another rework
Jamie xx’s ‘(I Know There’s Gonna Be) Good Times’, from LP ‘In Colour’, just won’t be left alone.
The biggest track of 2015 has been given another alternate version, this time courtesy of Skepta. In the second episode of Drake’s OVO Sound radio show on Beats 1, aired over the weekend, the grime star added a verse to a sped up version of the original track, which features Young Thug and Popcaan.
A extended version of ‘…Good Times’ was played live by Jamie xx at a show in Los Angeles recently, and features Assassin, Konshens and Kranium.
