florence and the machine – youve got the love (the xx remix)

so im pretty much the last person on earth to mention this song, but its still worth mentioning. i just recently finally listened to the xx debut album (i know, way late in the game) and have been loving it, so wanted to showcase them along with another artist thats been getting a ton of buzz this year, florence and the machine, which is really just the name that singer florence welch records under. it sounds like the two acts toured together last month which may have something to do with how this remix came about. but they definitely use the word “remix” very loosely. the xx actually sings the majority of the lyrics. in fact, besides the lyrics and the excellent harp sample from the original song, the only glimpse we get into the florence and the machine version is a short breakdown of florence singing “you know its real”. but its really a nice touch when its placed next to the less in your face voices of the xx. and since i believe in providing a frame of reference, youll find both the remix and the original version below.

4. Good back end to the remix but a bit flat at the start. Should have sampled more of Florence’s voice to raise the track.
