Song research

The song that I have chosen is called "Intro" This song was made by the the indie pop group The XX, the song was released in August 2009 with the album that it belongs to - XX. After being accepted by music fans the album gained the Mercury prize in 2010. Intro has been one of the many succesful tracks from the album and is recognised from its usage  during NBC's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games,and Newsnight's coverage of the 2010 United Kingdom general election. It was also sampled by recording artist Rihanna for her song "Drunk On Love", from her 2011 album Talk That Talk.
