Jamie xx looks ahead to a festival summer with new song ‘Let’s Do It Again’

Ahead of festival appearances at Coachella this month, Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Melt! Festival, Rock En Seine and more this summer, Jamie xx has released his first song since 2020’s speedy ‘Idontknow’, which itself marked a five- his debut album In Colour.
