Solange invites Oliver Sim of the xx and Dev Hynes to "Make It Hot" Nicole Wray-style in London.

Last night at London's XOYO, Solange put on a hell of a show, at one point inviting on stage Oliver Sim of the xx for a rousing rendition of late 90s rnb jam "Make It Hot." Naturally, someone caught it on video. Check out the performance below: Read more articles like " The xx's Oliver Sim joins Solange for "Make It Hot" " on Pretty Much Amazing .

Last night, Solange Knowles took on the stage at London's XOYO and brought along The xx 's Oliver Sim, with whom she has bonded with "over [their] love of 902s and 20002s R&B," for a lovely cover of Nicole Wray's "Make It Hot." If you weren't able to attend, there is (luckily) a video of their collaboration, which you can watch above. Solange's True EP is now available. ( Line of Best Fit )

Recently, Solange set off a minor Twitter shitstorm by calling out the writers who big-upped 20122s avant-R&B renaissance (a renaissance that includes, among others, Solange) as being insufficiently steeped in and reverent of R&B's recent history. As a litmus test of sorts, she mentioned Brandy deep cuts, but her affections, it turns out, also run toward brilliant '90s one-hit wonders. While playing a show last night in London, she invited the xx's Oliver Sim, coolly sheepish as ever, to the stage to help her cover " Make It Hot ," an absolutely wonderful minor 1998 hit, a Timbaland/Missy Elliott production [...]

Last night at Solange 's show at XOYO in London she wasn't content with killing it already that she had to bring out The xx 's Oliver Sim to provide vocals on a cover of Nicole Ray's 1998 R&B jam that featured Missy Elliot . Check out the subdued, laidback, black and white version of one of the late-902s best R&B tracks (original below too), with Oliver dropping some near-spoken-word lines and singing along to the chorus. The xx's [...]

Solange brought out Oliver last night, one of the members from The xx, to perform with her during a performance at XOYO in London. The two covered Nicole Ray’s, “ Make it Hot.”

When we posted our 10 Best Indie Christmas Songs we limited our list to yuletide jamz that actually exist. Animal New York took a different tack, imagining what holiday songs would sound like if they were covered by folks like Bon Iver, the xx, Wavves, Beach House, Das Racist, and others. (Adam Horne of Bear Ceuse is responsible for the impressions.) The faux collection is called Merry Indie X-Mas and it's pretty amusing. Watch a satirical commercial for it and stream the tunes below.

For the final time this year, here are (mostly) new videos by great London acts.  Slim pickings this week: Mt. Wolf - Climax Dummy recently named Usher's  Climax  as their song of the year - and here's London Mt. Wolf pulling off a terrific cover of it in a room that looks unerringly like my parents' dining room.  Back in a sec, I just need to make a phone call... Click here to view the embedded video. [...]

There are only eight days left until Christmas, so musicians are dumping their last rounds of holiday covers and acknowledgments onto the internet. Today, we bring you two of note: [...] The post Today's Holiday Round-Up: The xx Cover Wham!, Big Boi Reads Dr. Seuss appeared first on The Smoking Section .

Frequent collaborators John Talabot and Pional have once again come together to produce music that makes me the opposite of angry. This time it has arrived in the form of an eight and a half minute remix of The xx's "Chained" from their recent album Coexist . Inspired by The Streets' melancholy yet euphoric classic "Blinded by the Lights", this is going to take you places. Not like your Uncle does in his mini-van when he has to run "errands" and drop off "foo-foo dust" to his "friends", but like...make you feel good and use your dusty brain. [...]
