Jamie xx - In Waves (2024) Album Review

If ever there were a case of following your own imitators. The XX
alumni's debut, In Colour, helped set a template that
Coachella-esque electronic music has tried to follow ever since,
making this sophomore album lack the lightning in a bottle aspect
of its predecessor. Though a lackluster first half gives way to a
much stronger second, particularly when the soul samples and
collaborators are in the background.
