Right now, all of us are trying to make sense of the world, and Jamie xx is doing his best by putting out his first piece of new music in 2020 with the single, “Idontknow.”
The song title is very apropo of our current climate. Jamie teases fans with a strong tribal intro that slowly melds into a slow simmer. We’ll take any new music from one third of The xx. It has been since 2015 that we’ve seen a proper release from Jamie xx with the amazing release of “In Colour.” 

Note from Jamie xx’s Youtube Channel

Special thanks to dancers Oona, Paula, Tom, Janie and Rosie. I reached out to Oona Doherty (in the blue polo shirt here) to be in my next video. She sent back these clips of her and her friends and this note: “I was in Belfast with no money, lucky enough to get a free studio, So I asked for people to come in listen to your track and have a dance. Their not models, Their not actors, Their not influencer’s, Just good chums who were willing to show up for nothing and dance for one night. Their Legends I heard you’d had a rough year. And when its rough the music and the art goes away for a little bit. And now you’ve has made this…. I think it important that you see, some just, normal folk, honestly reacting to your music. Their not perfect, Insta shiny, but theirs feeling it. And no matter what happens look how your music moves people! releases’ them, gets them riled up, full of beauty, awkwardness, pain, guilt and pleasure! Whatever the video ends up being I just wanted you to see this. And even if we never meet and even if times are hard, just remember, I am, my friends are and lots of people are moving and shaking and making a dick out of selves, letting loose, because of your sound. It a powerful thing. Be proud chum. Don’t doubt. Its good Your good” – Oona
