Touch Me


Touch Me
Yasmin and Jamie xx

"If I let you feel on me you gon' have to play this one more time" Indeed, the majority of listeners will be playing this one more time. The steel pans that continue within this song from start to finish create such a mellow atmosphere amid the snapping beats that Jamie xx is largely known for. With the delicate touch of Yasmin's voice, that isn't always perfectly in sync with the music, as well as the rhythm delving into darker corners as it swells into the main melody, an enticing mood lingers that leaves you wondering what's going to happen next.


If you aren't within this majority of listeners then I suggest you consider getting your ears tested.

Jamie xx is just brilliant.

Jamie XX Shuffle

One of the most intriguing remixes of such a recognisable song. Jamie has taken Adele's hit song and completely flipped it upside down. Starting with simplistic hand claps that aren't many miles away from the original track, the remix slowly unravels as sharp metallic notes delve into a distorted vocal. I love how Jamie has created a complete contrast, where the mood and style is concerned in this remix, conjuring up a grungy urban vibe to the previously popular music genre that Adele released.

Busy, busy, busy revising this month. I've just clocked that there is nineteen days until my science exam and then I'll have to deal with English and French both in consecutive days of each other. Uh Oh. On a brighter note, I'm going out for a pizza tonight. Ham and Pineapple, the ushe. Bellisimo.
