Jamie xx is indeed an active and pivotal member of The xx. Specifically, he is the member of the British band who first decided to venture into releasing music solo. In addition to several singles and remixes, the Londoner has released two albums almost a decade apart: In Colour and In Waves. Dance music seen through a wide-angle lens.

In Waves features collaborations with The Avalanches, Honey Dijon, Panda Bear and Robyn, as well as Romy and Oliver Sim, Jamie's inseparable bandmates in The xx. Technically, Waited All Night is the trio's first song since 2017.

Because his performances are the funniest lessons imaginable. Each appearance by Jamie, a tireless researcher of records and singles that he then samples in his songs, is like a retrospective of five decades of dance music.
