[@brynh2714]

i love how i can hear jamie xx's influence in this song, hoping to hear more in the album.

[@guianton]

Bryn Hags me too!!!!! I'm so excited

[@xmattx5908]

Bryn Hags ikr!

[@luhed]

huh? of course it has his influence is he not in the song, is he not part of the xx or something? hahaha

[@vaderdaniels]

Edward Rogan Think she meant it the band was influenced by his solo album which its obvious and I'm all in

I like every song The XX has released. EVERY SINGLE ONE they made or are envolved in! There is NOT a single song that I think "Meh, this one just doesn't do it for me". Ladies and gentleman, THIS is how you know who your fucking favourite band is! This song is just amazing. I just had a shit day and to come home and find this!? This made my fucking day, it really did! Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face :)

[@brynh2714]

yes!!! i know exactly what you are saying. i feel the same way.

[@artrenberry]

Made my entire shitty year tbh. I've been waiting since Coexist and I am so happy right now.

Lauren Thomson if you're talking about trump, you're pathetic. He didn't even do one single thing as president yet, please don't overreact geez. And this is coming from someone who voted Democrat in the primaries.

[@divinelyhere]

How do they manage to have this obvious growth and change to their sound whilst retaining that xx sound I fell in love with?!

[@julianacortes2880]

Laurry May it's their incredible voices!! the song is really different but those voices are so damn beautiful and unique!! 😍

[@KushanB]

Laurry May it's jamie Amazing instrumental

[@julianacortes2880]

Kushan Bheenick yeah this track is definitely Jamie heavy which I really don't mind as much as other ppl... Actually if the new album sounds anywhere close to Jamie's seesaw, stranger in the room and loud places I will love them even more than I do now 😍 they'd definitely rise to the very top of my list 😍😍😍😍

[@fireproofline]

Jamie XX is really influencing the band and I'm not complaining.

[@oanwxrxn]

FireproofLine indeed

[@oscarmanuel12345]

FireproofLine Who is Jamie XX?? sorry if i dont't know... 😮

[@lucassmulders]

the producer and also member of the band

[@oscarmanuel12345]

Thanks bro!...

[@clamightymau]

i do.

[@lepythagore3288]

This is amazing. People complaining basically want the same as Coexist which was pretty much the same as their first album? This finally showcases Jamie's production skills and it's brilliant

[@SteelTrooper123]

Totally agree! I always embrace change when it comes to music as long as that change works and is effective. In this case, this change works perfectly! It shows bits of Romy's (electric) guitar work, Oliver's bass work and Jamie's vibrant production! This song is great in my book!

[@djsallinger3146]

Just listen to his solo stuff then. I'll always take new music from the most original sounding band right now... but if the guitars are this far in the back it will definitely wane from the sound everyone grew to love

[@joelwillin5582]

Mayonnaise Mustermann eh I disagree to a point. I for sure loved the old sound better, I feel Jamie is a little too loud for what I would like. However it's definitely good I just wouldn't say works. I'm all for Jamie being louder but I feel here he's too loud just a tad.

[@lepythagore3288]

Joel Willin Yes, I sure hopes this is one of the songs where his sound is the most distinct. However, Coexist really felt too stripped down in my opinion

[@djsallinger3146]

Coexist was a masterpiece. Seriously the production, aesthetic and songwriting were top notch. This is fine, but it sounds like a record an elite producer would make for radio, and not a cool alt rock band **cough cough**

[@pkicks12]

That rhythmic chorus is on point! Amazing!

[@davidolson9122]

2021. XX never got the recognition they deserved. I still love their music

Jamie XX is taking the lead on this one

[@EmergHad]

A bit too much. Sadly

[@insideoli]

what? Can you hear oliver and romy voices like...???? they are beautiful???? They are all awesome united????

[@moonskeetz]

Oliver Lugo The two previous albums had Oliver and Romy as the forefront sound. This time around, Jamie XX is the one that stands out. He used to go light on the percussion with little to no samples on XX tracks. Not saying it's a bad thing, just an observation.

[@insideoli]

I personally followed them when they first release XX back then, like, I love how they grew together as a team, how they agree to make beautiful music and get better release after release. I appreciate their collaboration together, that is all.

[@moonskeetz]

Oliver Lugo I disagree with the better release after release. First album is still my favorite by far.

[@Xchang]

Excited for the new album to drop. I've been replaying xx for the past 7 years and Coexist for the past 4 years.

[@samuraiboy94]

Their music always puts me in a trance 🙌🏾

[@tgodoy4852]

The XX is on its way to becoming one of the best bands of this era.

[@Syshwb]

This is great. I feel like they went ahead and embraced the fact that one of their band mates is one of the most promising producers in the world, and they let him be in the lead. This the perfect mix between the xx and Jamie xx. Perfect single!

[@arturodfabela]

Wtf is wrong with all these people complaining about the song sounding like a Jamie XX song?, the song is actually really amazing and that´s it.

[@jaejoongwannabe]

Arthur Queen the song does actually sound like a Jamie xx song if you compare it to their previous 2 albums. This song is more up beat. I don't not like it, I like it.

[@hihihi518]

I love the song as well, but the criticism that "[it sounds] like a Jamie XX song" isn't far off. The xx had a distinct feel and style. While I'm not implying that they should stay stagnant and release another album that's practically another xx or Coexist, I want them to develop and flesh out their unique style as a group and not have it be an extension of Jamie xx's solo work.

[@mandolen3317]

Joey Min what would you call their " distinct " sound ? monotone heroin razor samples

[@No_Face1313]

Arthur Queen you know people can have opinions right? don't be a Hitler.

[@andresitososa123]

No one knows this but the chorus of this song comes from a rewording of the first lyric of Hall and Oates' song "I Can't Go For That". Thank you.

This is the perfect medium between the xx and Jaime there is nothing more than this and honestly I'm completely fine with that!

Beautiful song. And there's that 90's vibe I can't really explain that makes me dream each time I listen.

[@ceoraaa]

You can totally hear Jamie xx in this and it's amazing. I love this!!

[@rainyautumn7157]

you can almost determine exactly the point where he adds his magic.

[@1080TJ]

I welcome the change. As much as I love their dream pop sound, on Coexist it felt like they were treading water compared to the incredible breath of fresh air that was the first xx album. Plus, the songs featuring Romy and Oliver were the highlight of In Colour for me. I'll gladly take a whole album of tracks like that.

[@cristinaandreea5484]

[@Santisaez1]

Of course, good songs remain in the memory. This whole album is The XX is just great. My favorite, I am always close to cry when I listen, is "Replica"

Too true, albeit I'm in 2023 now. Love the video for this. Jamie's in colour album was a masterpiece too 😊🎉

Lyrics

[@Jr96]

Lyrics I don't blame you We got carried away I can't hold on To an empty space Now you've found a new star to orbit It could be love I think you're too soon to call us old When and where did we go cold? I thought I had you on hold And every time I let you leave I always saw you coming back to me When and where did we go cold? I thought I had you on hold Where does it stop, where does it stop Where do you dare me to You've got the body, you've got the body Dare me to, dare me to Where does it stop, where does it stop Where do you dare me to You've got the body, you've got the body I thought I had you on hold Where does it stop, where does it stop Where do you dare me to You've got the body, you've got the body Dare me to, dare me to Where does it stop, where does it stop Where do you dare me to You've got the body, you've got the body Dare me to, dare me to My young heart Chance to believe We were destined Young hearts All need love Call it a lesson The stars and the charts and the cards make sense Only when we want them to When I lie awake staring in to space I see a different view Now you've found a new star to orbit It could be love I think you're too soon to call us old When and where did we go cold? I thought I had you on hold And every time I let you leave I always saw you coming back to me When and where did we go cold? I thought I had you on hold I thought I had you on hold I thought I had you on hold Where does it stop, where does it stop Where do you dare me to You've got the body, you've got the body Where do you dare me to, dare me to Where does it stop, where does it stop Where do you dare me to You've got the body, you've got the body You've got the body, you've got the body Where does it stop, where does it stop Where do you dare me to You've got the body, you've got the body Where do you dare me to, dare me to Where does it stop, where does it stop Where do you dare me to You've got the body, you've got the body Dare me to, dare me to And every time I let you leave I always saw you coming back to me When and where did we all go cold?

[@TheThoughtful1]

Really dig Romy's singing on this track - especially that middle verse. 1:35 The stars and the charts and the cards make sense *only when we want them to.* When I lie awake staring into space *I see a different view.*

[@karlnoben8199]

The production is incredible is optimizing both voices's rendering. Romy's voice is etherrealized (just remind me of what was done with Heather Nova's voice on the Someone New duet with Eskobar) and Oliver's lower voice obiously sounds like what makes crooners successfull.

[@Marci66]

Omg could you all stop complaining and appreciate the fact that we finally get new music after over 4 years. I couldn't stop smiling when I first heard this new song. It gave my goosebumps and wanted me to dance like a fool at the same time. And in case you didn't know but the xx consists of Jamie too and not only Romy and Oliver, so yeah of course you can hear his influence?! Thank you THE XX for this new jam. Can't wait for the album
