The xx / Do You Mind?
It's really refreshing to hear a pretty alternative band cover a piece of smooth funky house, in the form of Kyla's Do You Mind?, without making it sound like some desperate Live Lounge cover. World's apart from the original's deluxe beats and breaks The xx turn Do You Mind? into a potent love song filled with soft guitars and urging drums. However, the song's crowning glory has to be the awe-inspiring vocals of Romy and Oliver which literally soar above the song's romantic backdrop as the couple exchange suggestions of intimate encounters without sounding overly provocative or forced. This really is a sublime effort from The xx and once again reaffirms their status as the year's finest alternative group.
