Listen to Jamie xx Feat. Young Thug, “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)”
Jamie xx caught the attention of XXL in early April when the tracklist for his upcoming album In Colour featured a song featuring Young thug and Popcaan. Envisioning a summertime smash, the English musician told us, "“I was living in New York for a couple months and I was doing a drive to Manhattan while I was listening to Hot 97. It was the perfect setting and it made me want to make the track like that. I just think [Young Thug] is the best at the moment, him and Popcaan. I sent the song to other people who did versions, but [Thug and Popcaan's] version fit best on the record.”
Earlier today (May 11), the unfinished version—which Fader confirmed—of "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)" sans Popcaan hit the web. Featuring a soulful sample to take care of the hook, pop-friendly production from Jamie xx and Thugga's now trademark crooning/rapping combination, the song certainly has hit potential. The finished version, which has Popcaan, is officially out. Bump that here.
