The World of The xx

It's been more than a decade since The xx broke through with their Mercury-winning debut xx in 2009—and its hushed, insular aesthetic continues to influence artists across the board. Together, Jamie Smith, Romy Madley Croft, and Oliver Sim are dynamite, but apart, they’ve proven themselves to be equally dynamic. And right now, the trio are as busy as ever. This year has brought new music from each of them, including Sim’s spooky-pop solo debut Hideous Bastard and Romy’s new track “Strong” alongside Fred again.. Plus, the trio have been helming up Interludes Radio on Apple Music 1, featuring bold sounds and fascinating insights into their creative process.
