Following the release of his long-awaited sophomore album last year, London-based producer Jamie xx has returned with the deluxe version of In Waves today, featuring five tracks that are now available digitally after previously landing on a bonus 12-inch.
Jamie's latest single from the album's deluxe tracks is "F.U.," which features American soul icon Erykah Badu. This collaboration came about after both artists were due to perform at a Primavera Festival after-party in Barcelona. Badu was forced to ad-lib on stage after her equipment broke down on stage, which was captured by Jamie on his phone. He took the recording of the performance and turned it into the basis of the track during the In Waves recording sessions, which he later played for Badu at one of her shows in London.
"She's the coolest person ever and just said yeah!" Jamie shared in an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music.
"F.U." is accompanied by four other bonus tracks, "It's So Good," "Do Something," "LET'S DO IT AGAIN" and "KILL DEM," on the deluxe version of the record.
