Jamie xx has made waves once again with the release of his new track, "Waited All Night," featuring the talents of his fellow The xx band members, Oliver Sim and Romy Madley Croft. This collaboration comes ahead of Jamie's highly anticipated album, "In Waves," which is set to drop on September 20th via Young. "Waited All Night" stands out as the final preview from the album and showcases a compelling electronic landscape.
After a lengthy hiatus, this marks the first instance where all three members of The xx have collaborated on a single track since 2017's "I See You." Although they have worked on each other's solo projects since their last group effort, Jamie xx expressed deep appreciation for the reunion. In a press statement, he stated, "Thank you to my two best friends and musical siblings, Oliver and Romy. It's wonderful to have the gang back together, working in new ways, working out new lives; I wouldn't be here without them."
Sim and Romy also shared their thoughts, stating, "We've loved collaborating on our recent solo projects, but it's been a while since the three of us came together on one track. We're so pleased that this was the place we met up again. Proud to play a small part in this long awaited, brilliant album." With the song capturing the essence of their collective talent, fans have much to look forward to as the official release of "In Waves" approaches.
