You've Got The Love by Florence And The Machine, remixed by The XX

Paul Irish puts it so well: "The history of this song is pretty storied, but I’m already plenty distracted by the production of this take on You've Got the Love by The XX. We open with arpeggiated harp lines. A basic two-step beat trots out, chased by the two-step signature sub-bass, descending in hertz. The XX give us tag-team male & female vocals, matching in harmony just when… a float of mallets tickling vibraphones come flirting past your ears. The bass and vocals meet up with the percussion, stimulating an aural foreplay. I’ll let you take it from here."
