Jamie xx joins forces with Erykah Badu on new single, "F.U."
Jamie xx has released a new single “F.U.” which sees the London based artist, DJ, producer and composer collaborating with Erykah Badu.
The genesis of the collaboration came at a Primavera Festival after-party that both Jamie and Badu were due to play. After Badu’s equipment broke down on stage during her performance, she was forced to ad-lib, just her and a mic. Jamie, in the crowd, recorded the whole expletive-filled happening on his phone, and ultimately turned it into a track during the In Waves recording sessions after he reconnected with Badu back in London.
"F.U. (feat. Erykah Badu)" features on the Deluxe Edition of Jamie's acclaimed second album In Waves, available digitally for the first time today. The release adds five songs onto the original twelve-track album including a second new song "Do Something" alongside the previously released singles "It's So Good", "LET'S DO IT AGAIN" and "KILL DEM".
