译Pitchfork评10年代200首最佳单曲第100名：Jamie xx: “I Know There’s Gonna Be

翻译：thesweetescape

Who knew the shy producer from whispery indie rock trio the xx could also throw a great party? Dancehall star Popcaan, trap royal Young Thug, and the sampled voices of ’70s a cappella group the Persuasions meet in “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times),” a snare-rolling standout from Jamie xx’s 2015 solo debut, In Colour. Popcaan’s deft sing-song amplifies the Caribbean roots of Jamie xx’s steel drums, while Thug giddily squeals through the song’s empty space: When he declares, “I’ma ride in that pussy like a stroller,” his glee is contagious. –Marc Hogan

谁能预想到来自轻语独立摇滚三人乐队the xx的内敛制作人也能举办一场狂欢派对呢？配有舞厅艺人Popcaan，Trap皇室成员Young Thug与采样自70年代阿卡贝拉组合the Persuasions歌曲“I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times),”的人声，一首在Jamie xx个人出道专辑中脱颖而出的响弦鼓歌曲。Popcaan娴熟的歌唱技艺更加深了Jamie xx枪鼓奏乐的加勒比音乐根源性。同时Young Thug在歌曲留白处酩酊尖叫：当他唱道“I’ma ride in that pussy like a stroller,”时，酣畅淋漓的快意直击听众。 –Marc Hogan
