Jamie xx - I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times) ft. Young Thug & Popcaan

The Persuasions' "Good Times" is one of those songs where the good times are always just about to come. "I can’t afford the fancy dancing places/ But as long as you have faith in me/ We’ll have ourselves a grand time",


Jamie xx sampled a line from the song for In Colour’s dancehall-tinged song of the same name, but he tellingly lets the original track play in full during live performances.

The point is obvious when the sampled section hits: This was clearly the right selection.
