“I’ll Take Care of U,” the final track of the collaboration between Gil Scott-Heron and The xx’s Jamie Smith is a heartfelt and quite evocative track that is a great way to end the album. When I, and I assume most people, listen to the song I imagine the words “I’ll take care of you” being said from one love to another, but the video for it takes another angle; showing a female boxer taking care of her very young child. It’s a beautifully shot film and works very well with the song.
