Jamie xx is releasing a new album, In Waves, on September 20 via Young. Now he has shared its latest single, “Dafodil,” which features Kelsey Lu, Panda Bear, and John Glacier. Listen below.

Jamie xx had this to say about the single in a press release: “‘Dafodil’ was one of the first pieces of music that I made for this album, it was actually the song that made me realize I could finally make another album. I am forever grateful to Kelsey Lu, with whom this song began as voice notes about a hazy night we both remembered. Thank you to John Glacier and Panda Bear whose voices perfectly evoke the unique feeling of summer nights in London.”

Kelsey Lu added “‘Dafodil.’ A fun ride into a cute sexy hazy night in London shared with my dear friend Jamie xx. Memories of my first London summer I’ll cherish forever that are now encapsulated for us all to be in ecstasy together. See you on the dance floor.”

In Waves includes the previous singles “Treat Each Other Right,” “Baddy on the Floor,” “Life” (featuring Robyn), and “All You Children,” which was made in creative collaboration with The Avalanches. It is Jamie xx’s second solo album. He’s also a member of The xx.
