Jamie xx is giving the world another taste of his upcoming album with his latest single in collaboration with Robyn, ‘Life.’
“I made this track pretty fast (for me) and I loved it from day one. When I first heard Robyn’s vocal it was at 6 am after finishing playing at Pacha in Ibiza, it was the perfect moment. Robyn and I have spent time working together and hanging out for some years now, it’s always a joy and always inspiring, I’m so glad and grateful that she is a part of In Waves. Thank you Robyn for bringing this track to life!“

‘Life’ is a track that is made for the summer. It taps into the nu-disco sound that has risen in popularity over the last few years and is a track that you will want to play with your windows rolled down and on the highway. Its riveting horns are the main feature of this track. They keep the energy very high from start to finish and are incredibly groovy. Robyn’s voice also has a confidence that takes this song to the next level and features different parts of her register throughout the 3 minutes.
“I just want to see how ‘Life’ gets people dancing this summer. I can’t wait for that. Jamie is such a brilliant creator, I’m excited to be part of his album“
Robyn, Press Release
