Jamie xx To Have Big Presence On Drake’s Third Album
”Exciting for fans of UK dance music will be the fact that Drake is continuing to work with Jamie xx, who revisited his remix of Gil Scott-Heron’s ‘I’ll Take Care of You’ for Take Care‘s Rihanna-featuring title track. This time around, he wants Jamie – the percussionist and the producer in Mercury Prize winners the xx and an acclaimed solo artist in his own right – to “have a big presence on this next album… I’d rather get with someone like Jamie xx and bring that soul and island feel to it [in reference to not working with David Guetta].”
Drake goes on to say that he wants to “take [his work with Jamie xx] further” than ‘Take Care’ this time around, and will also be working with Atlanta’s 2 Chainz, as well as his regular collaborator Noah ’40′ Shebib. Oh, and Justin Bieber – but on Bieber’s album, rather than Drake’s.”
