Jamie xx
is filled with surprises, such as when he produced the title track from Drake‘s album Take Care, or when he co-produced the song “When It’s All Over” with Alicia Keys off her LP, Girl on Fire, or that time he composed the entire score for a ballet inspired by Jonathan Safran Foer’s book, Tree of Codes. Now, it seems Jamie Smith’s has yet another surprise up his sleeve.He’s just soundtracked Romain Gavras’s next film, The World Is Yours, alongside the French musician SebastiAn, who’s produced for the likes of Frank Ocean, Kavinsky, and more.
The French film director, who’s perhaps best known for his controversial cinematography with M.I.A has also worked with artists like Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, Kanye West, Jay-Z, and even Smith in the past. Gavras has just released the teaser trailer for the upcoming film and it’s absolutely stunning.
