Jamie xx has teamed up with Robyn for ‘Life’, the latest single from his upcoming sophomore album In Waves. It follows ‘Baddy on the Floor’ with Honey Dijon and ‘Treat Each Other Right’, both of which made our Best New Songs segment. Check it out below.
“I made this track pretty fast (for me) and I loved it from day one,” Jamie xx said in a statement. “When I first heard Robyn’s vocal it was at 6am 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!”
Robyn added: “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.”
In Waves drops on September 20 via Young. It also features Panda Bear, the Avalanches, his xx bandmates, and more.
