Jamie xx and Erykah Badu Release New Single 'F.U.'

Jamie xx has released a new single titled 'F.U.' featuring Erykah Badu, which is included in the deluxe edition of his album In Waves. The song originated from a Primavera Festival after-party where Badu experienced technical difficulties, forcing her to ad-lib while Jamie recorded her performance on his phone. He later transformed these recordings into a studio track after reconnecting with Badu in London. The deluxe edition, available digitally, includes five additional songs, such as 'Do Something' and previously released singles like 'It's So Good.' Jamie xx is currently on a U.S. tour, with future performances planned at festivals like Primavera. 'F.U.' exemplifies the creative process that can arise from unexpected situations in live music.
