Basement Jaxx - Feelings Gone feat. Sam Sparro

Let Basement Jaxx take you on a journey into outer space.

Feelings Gone is an intergalactic work of cosmic puppetry and pure innovation ( it's Jaxx clip, what else did you expect?)
Aussie boy Sam Sparrow is a lonely, wandering astronaut floating in space 'till he meets up with Simon and Felix for a soulful space-jam.

Basement Jaxx - Feelings Gone mp3

The Jaxx are back with Feelings Gone.

With their upcoming album Scars right around the corner, the pair offer up another single to follow the ridiculously catchy Raindrops.

What's that? The vocal sounds somewhat familiar? Well, that's cos Aussie boy Sam Sparro (of Black And Gold fame) has lent his vocal talents to the track.
Quite a fitting collaboration don't cha reckon?

Catchy, soulful and dancefloor-ready. Yep, the Jaxx have still got it.
