Basement Jaxx: "Scars" (ft. Kelis, Melka, and Chipmunk) (Stream)

7:25 p.m. · September 10, 2009 · by Matthew Richardson

"Scars" is the title track from Basement Jaxx's forthcoming fifth studio album, and perhaps surprisingly, it's as much a cut of left-field R&B as it is the hyperactive house that listeners have come to expect from Basement Jaxx. Considering though, that Kelis does vocals on the track, the song's genre indeterminance only makes sense.

Scars is out Oct. 13 on XL. You can listen to the title track here.
